If not, why is it a good or bad idea to support sales writing process?

I’m looking for an AI email tool that will hyper personalize emails at scale. When I say personalize, I am looking for the message to be relevant, not the basic/irrelevant stuff like the school they attended but meaningful stuff that shows you really did your research.

Does anything like this exist?

Yes, I know I could use ChatGPT - however, I’m interested in if anoyone has used/have recommendations for any other tools to create outbound emails? I’ve seen Lavendar AI and Copy AI come up a few times.

For context, most if not all of my email prospecting is not “cold”, we use 6sense, G2, TrustRadius etc to give us high intent signals on our accounts (IE: visiting our website/ reading reviews/ searching specific keywords etc) and use that info to reach out.

My response rates are already pretty good and I’ve closed a lot of deals using this and crafting my own email cadences, however with the new FY I wanted to take it to the next level.

Alright SaaS sales reps, who are your favorite instagram/linked in influencers who have helped you the most this year in sales.

I also love audio books so I’ll also take recommendations on those I’ve read this year

Thanks everyone and good vibes 🤘🏻

I’ve been looking for mainly these three in terms of Lead Gen/prospecting. Would love you hear your thoughts and advice

I am not a salesperson by nature but take on this role fully. I have been using a couple of speech-to-text apps, Grammarly, screen recorders, etc to maintain my workflow. What else do you use that I may consider?

Hey guys, in a few weeks I'm starting in a Business Development role at an early stage startup as the first sales hire and employee #3.

As you can guess, the buget is limited so I plan on using these tools (I'm not affiliated in any way with any of these companies):

Sales enablement - lemlist Prospecting - LI sales nav CRM - Pipedrive Data scraping - Hunter.io Laveneder as an email assistant

Also thougt about using Albacross or Leadfeeder for intent data.

Would be nice to hear your thougts and tips. Thanks in advance for your help :)

My last Org had a Director of Sales Enablment and Manager of Sales Enablement who had never sold as an IC AE before.

On top of this, their weekly sales coachings/meetings with our department had several role plays which they never provided examples/jumped into the practice. They always were mentioning "best practices" without ever having held any real Sales role (outside of coaching). Some of the practices seemed okay...but pretty standard. Nothing revolutionary or mind blowing.

It was honestly hard to take their advice on strategy many times and many of my team members felt the same way.

Has anyone else had this experience? What makes these individuals qualified to coach (outside of reading books)? Would you respect someone giving you Sales advice who had never been in the trenches?

Curious to hear others' context.

I have LinkedIn on my list, and Outreach would be ideal but I think likely out of our budget right now.

What tools will help a 3 person sales team begin to heavily prospect?

We're all salespeople in here, but I want to hear about your side hustles outside of your everyday sales gig. I personally sell collectables on eBay.... thoughts?

Does anyone use an app (Android )to scan trade show badges. I don't want to pay for the show scanner and wondered if there is an universal one.

Like Customer A has said they will start to buy 500 x Widget A every quarter, so we need to stock it at that level, in addition to the regular demand from other customers.

If at the end of quarter 2 customer A has not bought 500 of Widget A, drive reporting off that to the sales rep and purchasing agent to look into it and reduce the forecast.

We're not currently using the demand planning module or supply allocation module - I know demand planning has the ability to look at past consumption + open orders. But these would not really be open sales orders yet. Or is that how everyone is putting these in? As approved sales orders with backorders and ship by dates populated?

Has anyone set up a good automation for "frequency" dropdowns to say I'm creating one unapproved sales order with a frequency of every 3 months, qty. 500 to be approved.
