Why can't a computer program automatically buy tickets for F1 and send them to prospects?

How will it determine who gets the tickets? And which event is the most appropriate one for a given prospect? How will it know that the prospect is interested in the first place? Or available? Or worth wooing in this manner?

It could do that part. Making the decision about what to buy, how much of it, and for whom etc would be the types of non-trivial decisions you need your sales AI to make better than a person

The F1 tickets are about access. Your pal the sales dude buys you scotch and yaks about SAP.
