tl;dv
Mark's hot take
“Another great tool for recording calls and summarizing the notes (in fact, one of the earlier products to release doing so). Their AI sales coach is also really helpful for helping you track how your sales reps are performing against the different methodologies that you might be using. It also automates your meeting prep and CRM updates and then provides recommendations for follow-up emails.”
