Nooks

??We just raised our $43M Series B, led by Kleiner Perkins. ?? It’s a big day for Nooks. And an even bigger day for sales teams everywhere. Here’s why: We’re using that investment to double-down on our mission to humanize sales pipeline generation. And to announce our AI Sales Assistant Platform (ASAP). The world’s fastest-growing companies already use our AI Dialing Assistant to generate over 70% of their pipeline. Now, we’re adding two new assistants to the platform: ? The AI Coaching Assistant with automated scorecards and AI roleplay to cut onboarding time by 50% and more ? The AI Prospecting Assistant with account research, list building, and email writing to quickly identify and engage your best prospects These assistants integrate and reinforce each other. Helping your teams generate 2-3x more pipeline fast.? —- At Nooks, we believe the future is human reps working with AI assistants. Not being replaced by AI. Our assistants achieve that goal by taking care of busywork so you can focus on the strategic, human side of sales. Will you join us on this mission? ??

Nooks + Apollo.io: The Winning Combo for Instabug’s Sales Team ?? Chase Langley knew he faced two hurdles when he joined Instabug as Director of Business Development: ? low connect rates ? an inefficient dialer His team had a great product to sell but struggled to have enough of the right conversations on the phone. Using Nooks’ AI-powered dialer, his team ramped up their call volume while strategically targeting the best times to reach prospects. But it wasn’t just about more calls. Apollo and Nooks helped Chase’s team increase their connect rate from 5.5% to 8% with some BDRs hitting 12%! And reps were able to have more impactful conversations because they were equipped with Nooks’ training and coaching features. The overall results? ???? ???????? ???? ????????????, ???????????????? ??????: ? Connect rates jump from 5.5% to 8%, with some BDRs hitting 12% ? Meetings booked rate on track to double quarter over quarter ? 100% of BDRs meet their cold calls per week goal (it previously hovered around 70%) As Chase puts it, “Combining a contact database that produces better connect rates with a solution that doubles conversations has been a game changer.” Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gEMiaebg
