New functionality and insights empower Sales and RevOps leaders to guide teams with more certainty, uplevel coaching, and tie seller activities directly to revenue impact
Outreach, the first and only Sales Execution Platform built for intelligent revenue workflows, announced a suite of new capabilities to assist sales and RevOps leaders in providing clear guidance, feedback, and coaching to sellers and teams. Covering various aspects of the sales process – including prospecting activities, messaging strategies, and meeting management – these new AI-driven capabilities give managers and leaders a deeper understanding of what works and what doesn’t, enabling them to implement more effective selling workflows at scale.
“Outreach continues to deliver innovative features and the most recent product release has been a game-changer”
In many sales organizations, managers are expected to have a deep understanding of best practices: the ability to coach members of their team effectively, proficient performance management skills, and the insight to know when to step in and offer sellers’ support if a deal is off track. However, until now, tools designed to help managers and RevOps teams fulfill these expectations have come up short.
“Even the most skilled team members need access to data and guided insights to understand which sales practices are effective, whether their coaching is making a difference to seller performance, and how deals are performing at scale,” said Abhijit Mitra, President of Product and Technology at Outreach. “These new features were designed to address these challenges with coaching and improving team performance. The platform leverages AI to analyze every aspect of the selling process, giving sales teams unprecedented visibility into their sales workflows.”
