Congrats on the launch! As someone who's been working on the BD side, this could save sales teams TONs of time wasted on admin and manual entries. Very challenging to find a platform that empowers BD folks to focus on what matters (and what they love) - this might be it!
@loicsou I LOVE your point about focusing on what matters! There is so much noise and it's difficult for BD folks to cut through the noise!
@larry_blyth we're aiming for nothing short of game changer! Thank you for the feedback
Congrats on the launch @patrick_monnot! Excited to see how your AI copilot will leverage AI To help salespeople!
@michelle_koh_potts Thank you for your support! It will always be as a decision-aid (vs. pure replacement).
@patrick_monnot congrats on the launch. THIS is exactly what we've been looking for. Super pumped to start our trial.
The Knowledge Center is a huge gamechanger for us - literally saves hours per day trying to sift through news and linkedin posts to find those killer news snippets for effective "icebreakers".
Amazing solution and beautifully intuitive design - congrats again!
@aj_alkasmi - glad to hear your feedback! You're exactly right on the Knowledge Center - staying on top of what's happening with your accounts/contacts is time-consuming :)
Excited to have you try it out and share your feedback!
Looks really cool! Total all-in-one solution for sales teams! Congrats on the launch!
Congrats on the launch! Quick question, is it available in Spanish or other languages?
@josuemontero thank you for your question :)
We are working on 100% localization in the coming quarter. However, your data, labels, and records are available in the same language as your CRM.
I hope this helps - Let me know if you have any other questions & comments in the meantime. Excited to hear your feedback!
Congrats on the launch! Exciting stuff to use AI to get rid of the menial tasks and save time
@julianchu Glad that you like it! There is so much potential with AI - it's just a matter of being clear why / how it can help people!
Hey @patrick_monnot - congrats on the launch here - you and the team have built what looks like a great product, with a lot of useful features!
I'm curious about the onboarding process. In my experience it's easy to get sales people to try something out, but harder to make it stick. Can you highlight some of the ideas you have to maximize the onboarding --> stickiness journey?
Keep up the great work!
@josh_gleason - thank you so much for your kind remark!
I absolutely love your question - it is at the core of the product-led adoption of any software.
As it pertains to onboarding, our approach is to create an onboarding flow that is as frictionless and autonomous as possible.
+ One-click integration (no implementation needed); you're up and running in less than a minute.
+ Mock data in the app from the start, to find your way around more easily.
+ A step-by-step product tour when you sign up - guiding users toward the Aha moment
+ Pro tips sent via email for the first 2 weeks, exploring different parts of the product
We believe that 'making it stick' will be driven by a few factors:
+ Network effect: the more team members there are on the platform, the more value sellers (and management) will get
+ Positive feedback loop: Sellers will experience the benefits of our AI copilot if they work out of our workspace.
+ Gamification: Weekly report to help sellers understand where they stand against their goals and how to improve.
I hope this helps - Happy to answer any additional questions you might have.
Best,
Congrats on the launch @patrick_monnot, looks really good. I like that it works together with existing tools and helps drive efficiency, instead of replacing them. Great work!
Congratulations on the launch @patrick_monnot! Great to see AI applied specifically in sales. I'm sure it will optimize time use of a lot of sales people!
@philippe_lavoie2 Absolutely! Today, most sales reps spend 3/4 of their day on admin work. It's huge :)
Thank you for the support!
Amazing Pod's team! This technology is remarkable in that, at first glance, it may seem obvious, yet no one has developed software that is as intuitive and efficient. It has the potential to be useful to salespeople in any industry. I am enthusiastic about watching the product progress and improve! Keep up the great work!
@chad_lortie you are SPOT on! It's important for us to provide an intuitive and easy-to-use solution for sellers. They have better things to do than jumping between clunky tools!
Congrats Pod's team! These are the best technologies; when it looks obvious at first sight, but you realize nobody has created such intuitive and effective software. And any sales person could benefit from it, no matter the industry. Excited to see the product evolve! Keep it up!
@christophe_brizard You're spot on @christophe_brizard! It is our priority #1 to create an easy-to-use platform that sellers can leverage in their day-to-day workflows!
Excited as well to bring more intuitive solutions to salespeople's pain :)
Hi Patrick,
Congrats on the progress and the launch here!
As you know there are many tools out there with somewhat similar high-level value proposition. Could you give us a better understanding of what the following entails?
"Apply the best sales plays - Stuck with stagnant deals? Pod analyzes winning pipeline trends to recommend who, when, and how to best engage stakeholders. Let Pod call the plays."
Oh and give me the Hubspot version ;-)
cheers
@philgo20 Thank you for your support and thoughtful question!
To your question about how we differentiate in the market:
Our focus is on building a tool for individual contributors (not managers or RevOps). By integrating with other tools in their stack (CRM, conversational intelligence, Email, etc.), we simplify and streamline their workflows.
To address your question about "applying sales plays":
This is where our AI copilot comes into play. By leveraging pipeline data (i.e., CRM data, activity data, notes, etc.), we can identify similar deals across the pipeline and recommend what is the best sales play
As an example, we aim to be able to:
(A) Identify when a deal is trailing behind (or stuck) based on historical data
(B) Propose the right stakeholder profile to engage based on the progress in the sales cycle
(C) Recommend who would be the best contact to follow up/connect/involve
(D) Create a personalized message based on the contact's profile, compelling event in their company, and your product.
The recommendations and generated content are ultimately embedded in AEs' workflows, rather than live in different systems (out of sight, out of mind!)
Let me know if this helps and if you have any follow-up questions :)
P.S. Hubspot integration is on its way!!!
