Hyperbound

Increasing quantity of your calls should not impact the quality of your calls! ?? But, let’s be real—most of us have seen the opposite happen. You ramp up your calls, and suddenly the quality of your calls starts to dip ?? It’s frustrating, right? It doesn't have to be that way. Let's hop into some customer data real quick... In Months 1 and 2, they were seeing results but faced the familiar challenge of scaling. Here’s what that looked like: ?? Month 1: 70 role plays with an average score of 59.31 ?? Month 2: 136 role plays, but the average slipped to 56.97 Like adopting any tool, it can take time to have full rep support and see results... But they weren’t satisfied with that ?? By Month 7, after embracing Hyperbound’s AI-powered coaching tools, something changed. They refined their practice strategy and leveled up their training, and it showed in the data. ?? Month 7: 67 role plays, with their average score soaring to 70.36 They didn’t just improve - they broke the cycle. They increased the quality of their role plays after ramping up. But they didn’t stop there. ?? Month 8: 118 role plays, with their average score maintaining around 70.37 They were able to double the quantity of their calls without compromising on the increased score. Some might say they increased it ?? (An increase of 0.01 is still increase!) That’s scalability and consistency in action. More volume, same quality. This is what happens when you fully unlock the potential of AI-driven role plays. Excited to see what they do in October ??

Can AI help us go from call quantity —> call QUALITY? Spiky.AI + Hyperbound think it can ??

If all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you do it, too? Clearly! ?? STORY TIME! ?? Sriharsha was nervous to jump off this cliff at our Lake Tahoe offsite. While the angle is unassuming, it was about 15-20ft up in the air ?? Mia and Jonathan had a few jumps under their belts already... So they got right up there beside him and took the plunge together! When you work at a startup, you're going to encounter moments of ?? fear ?? hesitation ?? regret ?? nervousness Lean on those around you to push you through. After this initial jump, Sriharsha jumped in three more times! Alone! With no fear! With no hesitation! The first leap is usually the scariest one, but they continue to get easier and easier after that. Even if the cliff gets higher, jumping won't seem so scary. There's definitely a metaphor for role playing here, but that's not the point... The team we've build here at Hyperbound is so good at building each other up and having each other's backs. Winning with them makes the victories so much sweeter! ?? ??

It would delusional to think that other leaders in the AI conversation space wouldn't be hopping on the sales role play train ?? AI has weaseled it's way into every other sales function. Reps use it to prospect, to get intent data, to provide post-call analysis, and to automate countless other workflows... Why wouldn't it be involved in the one function that's directly made to make your reps better at their job - not just another tool that will do the job for them? Training is the backbone of great sales teams, and the reps that practice, adapt, and learn continuously are the ones that win. And sales hasn't necessarily gotten easier with the introduction of AI. The challenges are getting more complex, and the stakes are getting higher. That being said, there's something so reassuring that other people are repping Hyperbound in the comments. (Okay. The first screenshot in the video is a comment from our co-founder, Sriharsha... but the other one is from someone who is not legally and morally obligated to be a fan of us) It makes us so proud to know we're making a difference in this space for you all ?? ?? It has us thinking about how far we've come at Hyperbound and why what we’re building really stands apart. ALSO is this the universe telling Mia Kosoglow to get the Hyperbound TikTok account rolling?? ??

Obviously Hyperbound loves Hyperbound. But what do other people have to say about it...? Everyone say hello to Maisem Saber! ?? Maisem is a Senior SDR with GetAccept, and over the past 6 months, he's spent 490.95 minutes in Hyperbound's platform ?? With minutes like that racked up, Maisem is the perfect person to share what it's really like to grow with our platform. Before Hyperbound, Maisem ?? struggled to find consistent confidence on the phone ?? was limited to learning from the small amount of recorded customer calls he had ?? had to take up colleague's time to do role plays ?? received subjective feedback that wasn't based off data With Hyperbound, Maisem can ?? do role plays any time, anywhere ?? match his role plays with specific personas under GetAccept's ICP ?? get feedback based off of objective scorecard criteria made by his manager ?? avoid practicing on customers and avoid wasting potential pipeline ?? collect actionable data on where he needs to improve and receive AI coaching in those areas ?? argue with AI bots to get his frustrations out and release some tension (That last one is no joke! The ways our reps use Hyperbound truly amazes us every day! ??) Thank you, Maisem, for sharing your story. We can't wait to listen in on more "frustration calls" in the future ??

Fun fact: more than half of our team has joined within the last 3 months! ?? And we’re setting the precedent that rapid growth doesn’t mean losing personal connection. In honor of that, Hyperbound’s first company offsite has officially become one for the books ?? Thank you, Lake Tahoe, for hosting us this past weekend ??? The goal of this offsite: to get to know each other better and build that Hyperbound bond! And you KNOW we did exactly that! From hikes to boating to family dinners to horror movie nights, we took the time to get to know each other face to face. We left Tahoe feeling ready to hit the ground running - filled with new inspiration and even more love for our combined journey here at Hyperbound. If anyone from the Hyperbound team has any silly stories to tell, share them with the people ??? Siddharth - you were definitely missed, but we know the next one will be 10x more epic because you’ll be there!

Collaborative learning has been lost due to the pandemic. Because reps are sitting at home doing calls, we've lost the ability to: ?? Eavesdrop on top performers making calls ?? Replicate strategies that you hear working on the floor ?? Ask questions about where you went wrong in your pitch ?? Collaborate on ways to handle objections Not only are reps not learning from other reps like they used to, but leaders are losing visibility into how to coach their reps to be masters on the phone. With over 70% of outbound meetings being booked over the phone, refusing to figure out how to train your reps is simply not an option. So what's the solution? You might be shocked, but that's exactly where Hyperbound comes into play. We're helping reps become masters on the phone by allowing reps to: ?? Practice calls at any time without taking up manager bandwidth ?? Receive personalized AI-powered feedback to identify areas for growth ?? Compare their techniques to top reps ??

Did you know Atul and Sriharsha conducted 1500 user interviews before our platform even existed? ? That’s around 1125 HOURS of interviews ? It became insanely obvious that Hyperbound had the potential to tackle a problem that reps encounter every single day. Over and over again, they heard: ?? Reps had no way to get more at bats without risking qualified leads. ??? Leadership had trouble finding ways to adequately train and empower reps on the phone, especially in a remote environment. From that day forward, Sai and Atul made an explicit decision to use those stories / complaints / suggestions as the foundation of the Hyperbound platform you see today. Huge thank you to all 1500 people we’ve spoken to along that way that have helped shape Hyperbound into what it is today. Our DMs will always be wide open for any feedback, suggestions, or stories you want to share. ??? Excited to keep building together ??? And shoutout ??♂? Scott Leese and Richard Harris? for having our favorite cofounders on the Surf and Sales podcast!
