{
"role": "user",
"content": "Hi, good morning, Richard. My name is Anthony. I'm calling you from Contango IT. Happy Monday. How are you?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "I'm good. You're calling from wherever?"
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "I'm calling you from Contango IT from New York. I actually sent an email last week to your domain, but I didn't get any reply back. So, I thought to reach out to you today. I believe that you're handling IT over here right now in the company, right? If I'm correct."
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "I am, yes."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Okay, wonderful. Now, the reason for my call is just to say that we are a company based out of New York. We are basically 100 people with four different departments handling IT support and consulting. I understand that you're having your own internal IT or you might have outsourced it to a contractor. But we provide services from networking all the way to CIO, CTO level support. What we provide is the sweet spot here. The best part is that companies your size have had a really good experience with us for the past five years. So, that's what we are looking to do. Just have a discovery call maybe in the future. You might require something on cybersecurity, compliance, onboarding, infrastructure, build-outs, custom programming, or application development. IT support and consulting. Anything that might be a hurdle right now, we can help you out or explain to you. Not today, but maybe next week whenever you have 20 minutes. That would be great. Just to understand and showcase what Contango IT is all about. That's all. Nothing else."
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Yeah, I work with an MSP already. They provide me backup solutions. Not backup solutions, but backup help."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Okay."
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "They help me out whenever I take time off. However, I am looking for another company, but I prefer somebody local."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "That's the reason I'm calling you today, Richard. We are local in Florida ourselves. It's not that we are working from our headquarters up here in New York. But our employee strength is all across the East Coast, especially in Florida, because we have done quite well over there with major accounting companies, law firms, finance companies. And that's why I was trying to look forward to a 20-minute discovery call. I truly believe that if it's not broken, don't fix it. But again, I do think that we can add a ton of value here. And just to showcase what Contango IT can do, you can keep us in your good books, maybe in the future, and we can always be in touch. So looking at your calendar, maybe next week or the week after, or maybe another month, whenever you have 20 minutes, that would be great."
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Let's do a call for, like, maybe February 7."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Sounds good to me. Perfect. And what time would be really comfortable for you, morning or afternoon?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",

"role": "user",

},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Ten is good."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "All right, fine. I'll just take 20 minutes of yours, and I'll get my product manager, who's going to be there on the 20-minute call, to walk you through. And prior to that, I'll send you a one-page PDF about all the four different departments we have, so you can just run through it whenever you have time. That would be great. Just want to be in touch with a company like yours. I'm really grateful."
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "And what's the name of your company again?"

},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Okay. That'd be wonderful. So February 7, you said, right? 7 February, 10:00 AM."
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Yeah, that'll work."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "I'll send you a calendar invite. Do you have anything in your mind right now that might be a hurdle so that we can be prepared to give you a consultative approach during that meeting?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Like I said, the MSPs that I work with, they help me out whenever I need extra help. I've used them in the past for some advanced networking and cybersecurity that I can't figure out on my own. Sometimes I even go to them for consulting for new solutions."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Exactly. So when you said locally, just want to give you a heads-up here, the next step over here, if you're looking forward to a need assessment, somebody can physically walk into your unit and then take a lead assessment. So we are not remotely done, but we can offer on-site support. It's not that we are based in the headquarters. We work locally in Florida. All right, thank you, Richard."
},

"role": "assistant",

"role": "user",

I caught you on a Friday, and you were really busy, so you asked me to call back after some time. So, Doug, again, like calling from Contango, I did send you that email once again, and you said you'd check it over the weekend. I don't know if you've checked that or not, but we are a full-service IT provider. The reason I was calling today is I just wanted to quickly set up a 15-20 minute call with one of my senior account guys. We can tell you more about what Contango IT is, what we do, and how we do it. I really think, because we have been working with similar companies like yours, that we can add value to your business. It's not something I want to sell to you right at the moment; it's more about understanding your business a little bit more and you understanding our products and services. I just need 20 minutes of your time to explain a little bit more about Contango."
},

"role": "user",

"role": "assistant",
"content": "Well, if I talk about the services and products, Doug, we are a 100-person company with four different departments, covering everything from networks to outsourced CIO to help desk to application programming, infrastructure, everything A to Z in IT services. Honestly, getting into the tech details of these products and services, I would love to answer all your questions, but I'm not the correct person to do that. That's why I wanted someone senior from my team to tell you what we can do for you and how we can add value to your business. We're not the kind of company that just picks up the phone and sells something right away."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Well, this week, I mean, probably the best thing to do is get a debrief and then.."
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Yeah, yeah. We can possibly give you the first introduction, and if required, we can pull in anyone else from your company to go into a more detailed discussion. Generally, what we do is have the first discovery call, and then we can give you something like a need assessment. That's what we call it, and then we can go from there. So this first call is just a discovery call."
},

"role": "user",
"content": "Friday, I'm kind of open from 11:30 till 1:30 Central Time. See if a little 15-minute window fits in there."

"content": "Yeah, 11:30."
},

},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Friday the 17th, right? Yep, yep. That's no problem. I can speak to one of the best people from my team, the senior guys, and try to get them on the call. I'll try to get the best one. And last time I checked, you were about 40 people in the office, or has that increased, decreased in any way?"
},

"role": "user",

},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Very briefly. Very briefly. Sorry, I didn't catch your name."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "My name is Amir and I'm with Growfin AI. Growfin. Does that name ring a bell at all?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Grillfin? No."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Okay, so I'm gonna be really brief, mister. I have been on your LinkedIn. I have seen you've got tremendous endorsements in terms of account receivables. I see your experience. I had a couple of quick questions. One thing I hear a lot from collection managers is that it's a top priority to keep past due payments less compared to outstanding receivables. How do you go about doing that today, Mister Silver?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Well, obviously we have a team, but.. So, Amir, are you selling something? Do you have a service? What is this in regards to?"
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Service, obviously this is a cold call. I want to gain insights. But to be really transparent, we have built an AR automation solution which is purpose-built for account receivables. It integrates with your system, pulls in data, pulls out data, and it sort of streamlines the entire end-to-end AR process, including cash applications, reconciliations, and so forth. Given your experience, I was wondering if you'd be inclined towards perhaps, maybe exploring—not purchasing—not talking about, hey, we want to purchase this, nothing like that. Just exploring what we offer and see if there's some sort of technical fitment. And perhaps, in the worst case scenario, we'll just part ways as friends."
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "So the only thing I can suggest at this point, Amir, is to send us any information, literature, documents, anything that you can, and we will have to take a look at it from our end. Right now, you know, it's the end of the year, end of the quarter coming up. It's a very busy time. I won't be able to look at anything until the new year. But if you want to send us something, by all means, send us what you have and we will eventually take a look at it."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Absolutely. Is there anything specific, based on challenges, based on what you foresee coming up in the upcoming quarters, any challenges in particular? Anything in particular you're looking for in this email?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "No. Just to see what you guys offer. I mean, there's a lot of businesses and a lot of software out there that do the exact same thing. And we're always open to something if it's worth it for us. So if you want to send me something, we'll definitely take a look at it."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Absolutely. Will do. To give you some context, just so my email stands out from others—I believe you get a whole bunch of these emails and calls—we are a collaboration-first solution. What we recognize is there's a silo between the sales team and the finance teams. Finance cannot collaborate with sales except for over emails like Slack or phone calls or whatnot. So the AR solution that I'm talking about, Growfin, is a collaboration-first AR solution. It sort of gives you that front to collaborate with your sales teams as well. I know it's the end of the month, it's also the end of the year. Next year, in the first week of January, you'll probably be tied up with closing as well. I promise I won't take much of your time—perhaps maybe in the second week of January. 15 minutes is all I ask, 15 minutes."
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "I'll be honest with you, I won't be available in December. If anything happens, it will have to be in the new year."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Understood. Got it. New year it is then. So I'm going to send you an email. Is it okay if I place a placeholder on your calendar for the second week of January? The reason I'm saying this is because I don't want to make it sound like a cold call again when I reach out to you in January. I'll follow up with you multiple times over email. I'll send you some beautiful stuff, literature about what we do, keep you engaged. And come January, we could absolutely just set up 15 to 20 minutes. We give you a brief, see if there's technical fitment, and then if you're interested, we could perhaps keep the conversation going. Sounds good?"
},

"role": "assistant",

A lot of what we do is work with the Microsoft Teams and their VPs and their ten to twenty sales reps. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to develop a pilot around one of those VPs, probably in the Midwest around manufacturing as a vertical. So what I want to understand is how you would run this pilot. Yes. There's ten sales reps that we support. That's probably 1,000 to 5,000 enterprise customers. And I'll probably run this around the Power Platform. So it's going to be director level and above that I'm going to be having you guys reach out to. Yes."

We only manage about 30 clients at a time. Our founders have been in business for over ten years. Funny story is, I actually used to be a customer of Ledium before I actually started working with them now as a partner. And they helped me scale a unified communications platform all the way to exit. So that's me taking my shot really quick in a short amount of time without taking up too much of your time.

"role": "assistant",

I don't know, but if I know what I'm doing, then I can go to the next one and I can say, yeah, I'm using this for X kind of service within the business.

And then probably the conversation with any.. because I've had other people with different procurement-based softwares reach out as well. But as I said.."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Got it, got it. So I understand that correctly. Just want to clarify that Whatfix is not a procure-to-pay application, it is an overlay for your SAP applications or any application that you are going to currently purchase. So the challenge that we solve is when you have this transformation. Right. The user adoption, user adapting to the software will be a challenge. We're going to solve that. But I understand your point. It'll be in the long run."
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "No, even user adoption is a good question. Right. Because when you think about it, I would imagine in terms of my first software, which I bought, the users need to be adept at that software, first of all how to understand and use it without actually spending more money. So once that's done, then we probably can look at other solutions."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Yeah. So that is what exactly we do. So what we basically do is we overlay on top of the application and like a GPS, we give step-by-step guidance to the users in terms of how to use that application. So what we solve, particularly in organizations like Amazon, they were facing similar challenges while they were going through a lot of transformation. Users were not being able to adapt to this application, and there were dozens of support tickets going on and a lot of enablements, trainings, even though there's a forgetting curve where users forget what they learned in the classroom training. Right. So to solve that, what we do is the digital adoption overlay on top of your existing applications. So just curious to understand that, you know, if you could probably spend 15-20 minutes, probably next week just to show you the platform. I mean not in a hurry to take the next step forward just for your understanding purpose. Would you be open to more about that next week?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Next week probably not the best. The week after maybe I could do something. But man, I don't want to set up the wrong expectation that we are looking to buy a software now even if your software is the best. I'm being quite straightforward so that I actually don't waste your time."

"role": "user",

},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Yeah, 100% what I said, man, because I, like, I'm happy to look at it if that actually helps within your business and you connect where you report into, and if you can actually tell them, hey, you've actually showcased it to someone happy to do that for 15 minutes. It doesn't make a massive difference in my time as long as it stays up to 15 minutes, and then I have zero commitment of buying it. I won't even trial it or no proof concept, nothing, because I actually can't even control what I'm doing currently because there's quite a lot of things changing on our side. And if you've spoken to Murtuza and James, they would have clearly kind of highlighted that we're going through a journey, and we need to finish the journey to actually understand what else we need to do. I understand that so many things can come up on that, and you can, as you said, you can overlay this for better adoption, but that's something which the team should have thought about when we started the journey, not as we go through the journey, because you're already on the journey, and I just don't want to actually add in more weight to it to actually make all of the other things on the way."

And I just wanted to say, you know, that's actually really true about your company. And, you know, your team is so quick when it comes to support, especially Tammy. You know, whenever a rep joins, like I just joined two weeks ago and she called me like in the first two days and I was like, amazing. So I was just going through your post and resonated with it so much."

That means a lot because like, you know, I've been at this company since we started this and before we had any customers, right? Like I was the fifth employee and the first account executive, and back, you know, five and a half years ago, we didn't have customers, we didn't have money, we didn't have a product. And to hear from a client who just signed up, having a great experience and reaching out personally, man, it means a lot. Thank you."

Just like really? I would say email subject lines like, 'awesome, awesome new customer experience. Thank you.' Right. Just say, 'Hey, name over here at company. I just signed up. The first two weeks have been phenomenal.' Give a shout-out to the person who helped you out. And at the end of that, weave in kind of your ask in value props."

I didn't recognize the number or the voice, then you mentioned, obviously you're a customer, so now it takes a totally different, you know, tone and then leading with a compliment is like very genuine and you're tagging in like the support and service. So like that was.. you could not have done that any better. I hope you recorded all of it."

So we're basically reinventing the wheel when it comes to customer-facing PSA because we're the only tool in the world that lets you tie together your PSA stuff and your project management stuff all happening out of one tool. So think forecasting, resources, resource management, time sheeting, financials, project burn rates, trying to see if you're profitable as a PS org. All that is tied into your project management itself. And the entire thing is customer-facing from the ground up. So you choose to see what you want customers to see and you hold them accountable during delivery as well. So typically we see PS teams using something like FinancialForce or Mavenlink and trying to make that work together with a Smartsheet. So whenever they have changes in project requirements, they're not able to make that change in their resource plans. And there's a lot of manual work and redundancies going on in the process. We tie that entire experience into one, and I guess the metrics that we'd impact would be better forecasting and making sure PS teams are pulling revenue forward so they can stay profitable. Does any of this resonate with you at all?"

We are running a very large bare metal cloud platform with 40 plus sites, compute locations providing hosting, colocation, and bare metal services to thousands of businesses. Just more than anything else, I was interested to know and get more insights on your cloud computing infrastructure efforts.

So yeah, I can share that email with you right after this call. Would you probably be open to hearing more about us from our management team on a brief call?

},
{
"role": "assistant",

{
"role": "user",
"content": "Okay, gotcha. I'll tell you what Nooks does really quick. Then you can tell me if it's, like, relevant or if I'm just, like, out in left field here. Essentially, Nooks will pull in those call tasks, and it'll let them dial up to five lines at once. So instead of spending 30 seconds listening to that phone ring, it'll only connect them when they get a live prospect. So instead of spending all day for ten convos, they might be able to do that in an hour, and it'll free up some time for personalized outreach, like LinkedIn, email, account research, like, all that good stuff as well. Is that interesting, by any chance?"

},
{

"content": "Yeah."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Yeah I used them for two years, so I think I can answer that pretty well. Biggest difference, number one, is pricing. We're about half the price. We also have the best engineering team I've ever seen, to be honest with you. I used Orum for two years, and they did not have a lot of updates until Nooks came along. And now they're trying to compete pretty heavily and release those updates to maintain that competitiveness. Yeah, we're always releasing new features. We've got the best sales floor right now in the dialer space, and we're priced pretty competitively. Would you be open to taking a look? It's probably easier to show you than just explain it over the phone."
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "I'm not certain whether we're really in a position this year to really invest in some of these tools. So I might suggest, I mean, in terms of timing, probably not this year at all."
},
{
"role": "user",

},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "I mean, not really a priority for me right now because, I mean, if we're really going to be making an investment in a tool, like, I want to be able to have a budget for it, but I mean, we're, we're talking way too early."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Sure. And I guess, have you ever had, like, this might be a really weird one-off case, but have you ever been in a situation like, I'm just assuming, but let's say pipeline generation is your priority and there's a tool that can help with that. Would there be a path forward if, like, leadership thought this was like a must to have or would that just still be, like dead on arrival?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "I mean, I think that's going to be, like, really difficult to.. It's going to be a challenge to push that up."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "So you're saying there's a chance they'd continue with what they're using?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "I mean, I think if you're going to be selling like any kind of revenue-generating tool, like kind of the answer around that is like, yes. Right. Like you can, you know, is it going to help generate revenue? Absolutely. I think part of this is just, you know, if we already have a pretty solid tool stack, like, what more can this thing actually do that we don't already have the capability of doing? Right? And next to that.. uh.. you know for an organization like us and yours. You want to have the sale? Totally get it. We want to get business done and generate some revenue. Something needs to give there and it boils down to budget."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Yeah, I single dialed in for probably six months or so. And typically when teams switch from single dialing to using a dialer, they'll see a four to five times increase in productivity, which ultimately does result in a decent amount if your AEs are doing well. ARR on the back end there. So it is a big game changer for a lot of teams because right now those convos can be hard to come by."
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Yeah, I mean, the only thing I can tell you that may be a challenge for us with.. I mean, we're using Orum and uh.. their dialer is just simply.. uh, what is it.. uh.. their local area dial.. I'm going to make a guess that you guys also have something that's a local area dial."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "So we let you pick up to five phone numbers, and if one gets marked as spam, we tell you you can switch it out. So, you know, I've got, with 4 or 5, it works pretty well for me. I've got like a ten to 12% connect rate with that. But some people, you know, two or six, I've heard, does really well. You can kind of play around with that to see what works best for your prospects and your team."
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "And how does.. how does the number actually get.. uh.. I mean.. uh.. how do we actually know whether the number gets marked as spam or not?"
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Yeah, so we go through Twilio and they report it to us. And from what I've seen, it seems pretty real time. I had a prospect once. He was one of those directors of sales that just doesn't like cold calls, I guess. And he got kind of angry and said, I'm going to report you to spam. And within two minutes, it was marked as spam in Nooks. And I deleted that phone number and changed it out."
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Yeah. So, umm.. I mean, Orum is using Twilio as well.. umm. But it sounds like you guys have a way of taking a look to see the phone numbers that are used or purchased, which ones have been marked as spam. Is that something that end users can actually pick up on and see, or is that like an internal tool.. uh.. for your engineering team?"
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "No. So you guys, we want you to be able to see that directly. We want you to have as much success as possible. So if you're calling with bad phone numbers, that's bad for us. We want you to get those connections and those pickups. I know you mentioned timing is kind of tough, but I could show you these things. We only have to do a full 30 minutes. We could do like 15 minutes. If that's something you're open to."
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Let me do this.. uuhm.. I mean.. uuhm.. Shoot me an email. I happen to be like right in front of my inbox. You could probably see me open it. But uh.. if you don't mind, I'm going to share this internally with a couple of other BDR managers and just get their input on it. Even though we don't have budget. I mean, my.. my take on it is.. uuhm my take on it is. uh. I mean, in order for us to be able to roll something like this out, uuhm.. I mean, budget definitely needs to come from our execs. uhm.. That's going to be the major hang up and challenge for us, uuhm.. the other end of it is.. uhm.. just implementation because our.. uhm.. our team is pretty tight on just implementation. And so I don't know if this is going to be something like, you know, I'll give you an example of, like, Salesforce. Uuhm.. You can buy Salesforce, but Salesforce is not responsible for implementation or integrations. Right. We have to either do that ourselves or we have to hire third-party consultants to do that for us. So I don't know if that's going to be the same for your system."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Yeah so Nooks is really smooth, actually, with integrations. So, number one, to prove out like a POC with leadership, we've got a two-week free trial with an ROI calculator. Our account executives are really hands-on with the trial. It's just a click of a button. Like, we just pull in those call tasks and then you've got them in Nooks. Usually it takes, we block off 30 minutes. Usually it takes five minutes to get that integration set up so we don't make you do that on your end."
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "uhm.. Two weeks? Do.. do you guys pilot for a longer period of time? And I'm going to make the assumption that if you guys do pilot, you guys want a contract in place."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "No. So it's a free trial, no contract in place. That two weeks is flexible. Like, if for some reason, let's say you've got bad data quality and you need to fix it, whatever reason it is, our founders usually work with people and they'll approve an extension if necessary. We've got one pretty big enterprise customer right now that's about to close, who's been in trial for probably two months or so because they had a really big team and it's taken some time to get them all onboarded. But, yeah, we make exceptions on a case by case basis."
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Okay. So where are you based?"
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "So we're most of the team is in San Francisco. I'm in Denver. We have a guy who used to live in Toronto. He'll go back there occasionally. We've got some east coast people as well."

"role": "assistant",
"content": "Yeah. uhm.. How long have you guys been in business for?"
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "So we started in 2020, same time a lot of the dialers kind of took off. There's one that started in 2019. I think there's some that have been around a little longer, but that are more legacy and kind of outdated. Yeah, pretty much. Since 2020, though, we've been growing pretty quickly. Over 100 customers. We might be getting close to 2 million ARR."
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Yeah. Okay. Uuh.. If you don't mind. Shoot… uuh.. If you can shoot me an email. I'm just uh.. right in front of my inbox. And then.. uhm what's.. what's your role at the company?"
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "So I'm a senior SDR. So lots of cold calling and list building. I kind of help build out those outbound processes and I do take some demo and disco calls now and then."

},
{
"role": "user",

},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Yeah. Okay. If you happen to be in Denver. Okay. I'm looking at my calendar right now. I'm willing to put in the time, just like my time personally in just taking a look at what the tool does.. uuh.. before I have this kind of put in front of all the other BDR managers. uhm.. What's your.. what's your timing like on this Friday at uh.. 8:30?"
},

"role": "user",

},
{
"role": "assistant",

And then I look forward to chatting with you on Friday at 8, Pacific."

Right? That would be the objective. And then after they schedule the demo, they finish. That's all the job is. Right? Yeah, but the problem is that.. But they have to be able to..

And then they need to be able to, when we say prospecting, they have to be able to reach out to some key people. I don't know. I mean, maybe you guys are very effective in that. I don't know, but..

Actually, I was, you know, talking to a couple of leaders from the human resource space that are, you know, from organizations similar to yours. And they tell me that because of the decreasing rates of employee retention, they are seeing an, you know, increased need to take people enablement initiatives that could help improve on employee productivity and engagement. So I was just curious to get in touch and see if this is relevant in your world currently."

"content": "So I think for us, you know, collectively as an entire organization, it's hard to engage as a team. I think the departments do a good job of engagement with each other just because they have weekly meetings and just doing their day-to-day stuff. But as a whole organization, I think we are lacking. And part of that is just due to the fact that we are all remote."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "I mean, totally understand that. Like, is it safe to conclude that when it comes to, you know, engagement on the part of the organization, have you, since you mentioned that you are kind of lagging on initiatives there, have you tried to solve that? Or, you know, is that not a priority or you're focusing on something else currently?"

"role": "assistant",

You know, I'm rebuilding our HRS system and almost complete with that and, uuhm.. you know, we're building a new ERP system. So there's lots of moving parts right now, but it's definitely something I need to tackle just based on, you know, employer retention and making sure that people feel wanted and cared for."

"content": "I built out the performance review November of 2022. It was prior to that on paper. So that actually has been checked off.

How about if I say that, you know, as I mentioned, I work for this company called Engagedly and we specifically tackle these two particular things, automating and digitizing performance management and employee engagement processes. Now, the reason that I wanted to talk to you is that I have been, you know, researching your organization and knew that you guys are completely remote and that similar organizations are facing, you know, these sorts of difficulties. So would it make sense for us to, you know, set some 20 or 30 minutes for maybe this week or early next, depending on your availability, so that we can show you around as to what we do, what, you know, Engagedly as a platform is all about and how we have been helping similar teams?"

And what's happening is seemingly kind of positive looking opps are losing steam, dropping off the pipeline entirely, or being pushed forward into Q2, Q3 because it is so difficult to get that connection in a virtual world.

So my company, Allego, what we do is, so, first of all, we're a sales enablement platform, but we wear a few different hats in that space. But I was coming at you today with the way a lot of people in, you know, like you said, you haven't got too many deals going on in a year so they could be quite chunky and they come to us with ways of being able to kind of share the right content with the right stakeholders and be able to kind of.. They can't track who is engaging with what content so they don't know what content is resonating and they don't know who the right kind of people are. If anyone is extra is being brought into the sales cycle a bit later on. If content's being shared kind of behind the scenes, that side of things. How do you work with, you know, new stakeholders coming in or stakeholders changing? You find that happens a lot."
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "On the customer side?"

{
"role": "user",

I know what you're up against, different scale, but yeah, more into the estates department for me in the past, but yeah, I'm with you. Cards on the table. What I'm doing here is we've got a way of enabling folks like yourselves to stay front of mind with your prospects throughout the buying cycle, pre, during and post-sale. That allows you to share the right content, share the video calls that you're on, and crucially, kind of communicate through this platform asynchronously. So it's not just an email thread and you can kind of use this. We call it a digital sales room, if you've heard of the term at all or the concept effectively it's like a little microsite between you and your prospects for each deal and all the relevant situation, all the relevant information is kept there and, you know, you can kind of use that as your kind of go-to place. You can track the content, see who shared it, see who's used it. It informs you because you know what content's resonating and what's not. Just wondering, appreciate it's a Friday afternoon. Would that be something that you might be open to maybe 20-30 minutes next week? Have a quick exploration on, see if it's something that could be useful to you?"

"role": "assistant",

So, uuh.. yeah, it's unlikely, is my gut feel, but happy to give you the time of day and take a look and give you some feedback if that's of use. But I don't want to set any expectations."

"role": "user",

You've learned a little something and we can, you know, share what other people in the field are doing, you know. So there's no, no pressure or big ask on this one. When would you be free? Next week. Appreciate. It's only four days next week, isn't it?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Yeah. What I'd like to do. If I share my email and you email me, then I'll get our PA to book a slot in the probably 20-25 minutes or something like that. uh.. I'm happy to do that in a nice way as it's a Friday and you caught me at a good time. I get a lot of calls, as you can imagine, and I never normally do this but I don't know why I am on this occasion. I think you've come across quite well and obviously I'm in sales so I know it's difficult so I'm happy to spend 20 minutes with you, so if I give you my email address there, you want to just drop me an email? I've got to go on a call. Of course, do. So I need to give it to you now. So it's my first name last name at company dot com."

Right. He maybe is still with the same company.. maybe he's not. And I want to sell him something. And then in all reality, although I might not know it, he's moved to, you know.. another company. Now I can manually see that maybe through LinkedIn, but I, in my CRM system all I have is his previous company. It has no clue that he's left. It has no clue what the new contact information is. Are you telling me that you can look at our database in Salesforce and say, oh, we can automatically tell you that so and so person is no longer at company A.

So their PS teams are having real trouble reducing time to value and just making sure that their projects are getting completed on time and that they're maintaining like a positive ROI on the top line for their PS team, especially because they were taking on projects at a really high velocity. We worked with them and just helped them reduce that time to value and enable them to get more projects out the door quicker and maintain like, a positive ROI in terms of their billable utilization and how they're delivering their projects. I'm curious, what do you think the business impact would be for you folks if we could do the same for your business?"

But yours is more about methodology projects."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Exactly. It's more of a project management tool that was sort of purpose-built to deliver customer-facing projects. So most PS teams today, they're, they're repurposing generic project management tools like asana, spreadsheets, slack, and stuff like that. Or they're using legacy PSA tools like Maimon Link Financial force, which often do way more than what's required. Yeah. So we're kind of at that intersection."

},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "I am. I pulled it up. So, like, I, I've been so a couple of things. I'm going to be just totally transparent upfront. Like we, our company just recently went through like two months ago, like a small rift, so we got rid of some of folks and so we're not in buying mode right now, but we are focusing like, like everybody else is. We're kind of like retooling and make sure that we're basically being lean and we're doing things efficiently. And I know it's also kind of our pitch software for the customers that we serve, but we, I have been in conversations with some companies. So we kind of like, we build stuff internally to kind of eat our own dog food, but there was a few things where we just didn't do. And so when it led to conversation with Financial Force about resource management and really just skills and availability instead of PS, but to your point, where they had a lot of stuff that we didn't necessarily need. Yep. So I tell you the same thing. Kind of funny. Like they. I was just, I guess the last time I talked to him, I said, like Adela Tickler saying like, hey, this is not the time. Like, you know, call me, you know. Anyway, they just called me because I guess the timeframe came up and I just let them know the same thing as like, hey, I, you need to push it out a month because I did bring up their concept just like two weeks ago in the conversation. So we are just in the phases of trying to figure out if we are going to use our own resources to build internally or if we're going to go do kind of exactly what you're talking about. So I feel like we're like the cobbler's children. We have the product that we basically, service is a low-code, no-code solution that allows us to build applications faster and deliver for very large, you know, large and small customers. So a lot of times I, especially on the service side, I feel like I'm prone to trying to say we should eat your own dog food and build something that, you know, that we can turn around. But also at the same time, I realized a lot of times we don't have the timeframe to do it or the resources ourselves. So that's why last time Financial Force kind of approached me, I was able, it just happened to be that someone else had mentioned their name. And so looking at the company and I said, oh, your name just came up. So I took the meeting. I don't know, rocket lane. Not saying that I should not take a look at it."

"content": "Yeah, fair enough."

"role": "assistant",

And that's the thing with Financial Force too. Right. We hear that a lot. We've got quite a few customers come over to us from them, purely because there's not, it doesn't tie up that customer-facing project management experience along with timesheeting, resource management, and global utilization all built into the same platform. Now I get that those might not all be priorities for you, but given, given you are sort of open to taking a look, do you think we should set up 30 minutes just to understand how we're doing things, see if there's any pain we can solve and we'll take it from there, you know, no pressure. Not trying to get you to rip up what you guys have and get you to commit to anything."

I don't know when we're going to do anything, but we are talking about trying to increase internal processes. We're actually having meetings now about trying to build our own internal stuff using your own dog food. But we're also, there's just certain things that we don't do. And each one of us that are on the invite, they're all in the same positions, but in different, like, they lead to different organizations at the side of PS. And the problem, each of us are coming to it with our own little angst. So the part that, for me, selfishly I like, the one thing I liked about that Financial Force that we didn't have internally in our own product was I have a team of people that report to me, but each of them have different specialties and kind of like what they're specializing in. And so when projects come up, I'm always interested in knowing kind of like, the availability of people who have those skills and that kind of stuff. So that way I can basically see resource management on, like, this person has, you know, like 20 hours a week available during this timeframe and also gives me the ability to assign the type of skills that an individual has. So that way I can also put it on their IDP or their individual development plan. So that way they can actually. I can basically have them get skilled up in new areas. Now, the other folks that are on there, that's important to them, but they all have something different as well. I'm not saying that you should hear the presentation towards what I just kind of said. You should do your normal spiel because you'll then hear from the other folks what was important to them because theirs' bit different from what I just kind of have."

},

Do you think that would be important?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "I don't know. I think it's, like I said, I think it's a little more of a direct model than we're running here."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Yeah, I mean, some people think that they only use it in like top of funnel outbound, but it works really well of, you know, getting into discovery, running a personalized, you know, demonstration or presentation and even, you know, moving stuck deals. Do you guys ever have deals that get stuck?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Sure. So you presented it differently. So how does it work if you're, you know, in a pursuit and you'll stuck? Tell me about that."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Yeah, so a couple of things, right. So, you know, we integrate with all of the tools that you probably use today, your CRM, sales engagement, anything like that. And then we can give you insights into your buyers or your prospects about the things that matter most to them and traps to avoid and what their communication styles and preferences are. So sometimes if you hit some of those hot buttons that you shouldn't, that's enough to get a deal stuck. For example, some people are more relationship driven people, so focusing on that and throughout the sales process is going to be more important to get that into the win column. Other people, not so much, not, the relationships don't matter, but they might just really be a more ROI driven person. And so having those sort of insights of knowing how you structure the deals and the talk tracks throughout the buying process or what can help to, you know, move deals forward and also get deals, you know, moving forward that are stuck. So I don't want to get too deep into the weeds. I'm pretty confident that we can add some value to you and your team. We didn't spend a ton of time together, but if we spent like 15-20 minutes in the next week or two, I could potentially make some good recommendations and tell you if it's something I think could actually move the needle for you or not."

We help automate manual processes involved in troubleshooting and documentation, especially in a multi-vendor environment. Would love for you to take a look at the platform. Not asking for anything here, just any feedback, if you have any."

"role": "assistant",

And you have to have like a predetermined list of what your devices are in the network, and if you miss something, then it won't be in the system. So we essentially discover every single network device in your network, regardless of what vendor it is based on how we do our discovery. And. Yeah, so it's essentially, you could look at it as similar to them, but every time we've gone up against ManageEngine, we've won simply because of what we're able to do in the way that we're doing it."

And then I'm just going to be straight up right now with you. What type of price range are you looking at? This is based on per node? Is this based on per individual that's looking at this particular product?"

And everyone on your team is able to access it, whether they're on the security team, the network team, if they're in DevOps, everyone's able to access it and will be able to read the same information.

{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "It does some really, really snazzy things. There is a lot of bells and whistles, knobs, etcetera. But some of the basics that I use it for is clearly going to be the mapping inventory.

"content": "Yes"
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Hi there Justin. My name is Arvind. I'm calling you from a software company called Elevate. We are into sales commission automation. Now, the reason I reached out to you Justin, because I was on LinkedIn a while back, and I noticed that you have a fairly large sales team of about 100 folks and you're also growing. Now, I was just a little curious to know that, you know, given the scale of your sales team currently and the kind of hierarchies and probably compensation rules in place, is there any central tool that you have to manage commissions currently? Is that. I mean, is that. Do you face any pain point in that area at all?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "No, there's no centralized tool. And yes, it is a pain point."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Okay, perfect. All right Justin. What we do is we help automate your sales commissions, which means. Right, from managing your commissions all the way to payouts, everything is done very seamlessly. Now, how do you currently manage your commissions? Is that through spreadsheets?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Yes."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Okay. Okay, great. So most of the clients that we work with also sort of manage it with spreadsheets, but what they realize is as the team starts growing and expanding, it starts to get a little tedious. There's a load on the finance team as well as whoever handles sales operations. So, you know, I'll just cut to the chase. Is this something that you'll be interested in? I'd love to walk you through our platform for about ten to 15 minutes if you have a free slot sometime this week."
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "I can't do this week. I could do next week, but, yes, it would be of interest."

{
"role": "user",

{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Yes, that should be fine."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "This time is okay. All right. All right, I'll do that. I'll be sending you an invite shortly. Look forward to running you through the platform. Before we cut the call, I just have a couple of questions. Was I right when I said that? I mean, based on LinkedIn, it says your sales team has about 100 folks. Is the ballpark figure about that much?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Yeah, it's probably about that. Not all of them will be commissioned, but it's probably about that."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Okay. Okay. Is there any kind of. So currently, where do you store all your deal related data? Do you have a centralized CRM in place?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Uuh.. Yes."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Which one would that be? It'll just help me prepare for the demo. A little better… you know I can make it more relevant to you."
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "So it's our own ERP system."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Okay. You have an internal ERP system?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Yeah."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "All right. So we'll have to figure out the integration bit because what we usually do is we. So there's two kinds of data that we need to fetch to automate commissions. One is the deal related data, and one is if you have some kind of an invoicing or accounting tool. Basically because some companies tend to incentivize their salespeople on invoices collected or when the invoices realize or the payment comes in. Some companies also do it on booking meetings. Right. So we usually integrate with both the systems. Do you have any accounting tool in place where all invoice related data is stored? Currently?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Yes."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "And which one would that be?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "It would be the same ERP system."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Or the same ERP system. All right. Okay. So we'll have to. We'll have to maybe during our call, sort of discuss as to how, you know, we're going to go about integrating this. Do you have any APIs for this ERP system?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Yes."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Okay, perfect. That should solve the problem. I think I've got all the information I need. It was great talking to you. Have a great week. We'll connect next week on the call. I'll send an email shortly."

It's like the LMS is like school. Second nature is like the field trip, interactive, and it's a replica situation."

Want to know the specifics around Twilio and want lingering that shows either on a YouTube or a video, how your stuff works. I promise I'll check it out. Because one of the things that I'm always focused on is muscle memory around the value selling methodology and building simulations. Doing a ton of that work right now. And if your product can help. I'd be certainly, you know, I'd want to run that kind of up the black hole in my organization because I think it's an area that we struggle with. I am a minute away from Microsoft headquarters.

I said, all right, better be good. And you, and you, you gave me that power. That was an excellent intro. You can, whoever's doing training for you, tell them that the value selling program owner really liked your interest."

As you know, a lot more people have been working from home these days. So business development leaders have actually noticed a drop-off in connections and gaps in mobile coverage.

},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "I don't know what we use, but in terms of getting the correct contacts, we've got a system that pulls up our lease information and competitive lease information and then basically gives us that account. I don't know that it necessarily gives us the contact info, though."

"role": "assistant",
"content": "Yeah, so, I mean, Cognism, just to give a little background, and I'm being pretty vague right now, but Cognism pretty much is just like one of those platforms, except we do help with the account by giving you the list of accounts, but we also give you the titles and industries that you would want to be pinpointing. And let's just say, you know, you want a John Smith that, you know, and you don't have their mobile number or their direct. We actually go out and human verify that on demand for you within 48 hours. That's pretty much what we do here at Cognism, is we just equip sales teams with more accurate mobile phone data as well as emails and directs because those have been, you know, valuable in the past. By any chance, you know, would you be interested in getting a free data sample from us and then you can kind of compare your coverage with ours?"

They're the ones that take care of the whole data extraction on the platform and they'll have more of, like in detail conversation with you about the titles.

So they use, they use ExecVision all the time and just I think I kind of misspoke before we're not a CRM but rather it's transcription and it's the ability to use call recordings for training and coaching to help the reps get better because you know I heard what you said about using your recordings of Microsoft Teams meetings but the challenge with that is like nobody has an hour to sit there and listen minute for a minute uh.. this is all about how do you pinpoint just the focus area and look I totally get that you're not in a buying mode right now, if you're open to leaving commerce off the table, I think if you saw this and were introduced to this topic, to this idea, I think it would you know, it'd probably help you a ton as you're looking forward for your team."
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "uh.. absolutely, I understand. It's just that yeah right now we're not necessarily in that in that mode. We're just we're incredibly busy right now, will tell you that to where it'd even be put on kind of the back burner but uh for that matter it's something that we're not actually, you know turned off from entirely, it's just right now it's not that the time for us by any means."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Yeah just a bit a bit too busy at the time? I.. I get it. uuhm so let me.. let me ask you this, you know uh obviously like you're sales rep, so I wouldn't be doing a good job if I didn't try again and didn't try for that third time and look we can keep it brief we can keep it to a 20 minute and really serve as a resource for you uh for example we have a really good guide to how to create a call coaching culture and some time saving methods when using recording, so you know I would.. I would just set expectations we'd be doing this with you Wade and give you a lot of value for that time and then after that certainly if nothing came of it for many months that's okay. So what what.. what would you say we give a shot for that?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "I tell you what, if you've got kind of a cut sheet or some documentation or handouts that you'd like to send over, I can take a look at them. uhm feel free to do that, allow me to review and kind of see what you'll offer and then I can make a decision from there if that works for you."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "That works for me. What's the email?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Yes, W-arnold. w-a-r-n-o-l-d at quick serve, q-u-i-k-s-e-r-v dot com."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Got it. And last question for you, when you think about your current process, you record all those Microsoft Teams calls um what's.. what's been the.. you know if you had a magic wand, then you could.. you could have something where you got a lot more value from those calls. What would that look like? The only reason I ask is that way I can send the right content for you."
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "uh.. so what would be the right call? Is that what you're asking?"
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "So I'm saying, if you had a magic wand and you could.. you could change one thing about how you're using those Microsoft Teams call recordings, what would that one thing be; to make it easier for you, to make it more effective, what would you do?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Uh just the i guess the compatibility of being able to condense that file and send it to people that uh.. you know.. i send a lot of this information and people need to be able to evaluate it and look at it and read it and so if that content could be collapsed versus trying to send a larger file, a larger recording. That would certainly be helpful."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Interesting. Okay, so Wade, are you.. when you record at Microsoft Teams meeting are you then sharing that with your customer and your prospect, who can share it with other decision makers?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "uh.. in some sense, yes. I will send it to people who request it, I'll send it to some of our trainees also people across the country that need to review it and look at it uh but yeah for the most part it's nice that they're sending it to their customers, I just provide it for anyone that asks."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Okay that is a yeah.. that's something.. that's sending a snippet. I can.. I'd be happy to share.. I'll even share a snippet of our call so you can see what that looks like? with the video of the teams. And hey last question for you umm.. across Quickserve, so outside of commercial sales, how many total uh customer facing reps are there? So if you look at the entire business outside of your segment."
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "uh.. we've got a few out there on the field right now, probably anywhere between half a dozen to upwards to, you know two dozen. It all just depends on who's hiring, some of our distribution partners out there, some of our agency reps, uh people of that nature. So yeah it ranges anywhere between half a dozen to maybe up to two dozen or so."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Okay. Okay and then do you guys have a call center as well?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "uh.. you're you're basically speaking to it. This is our call center here in Houston."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Oh, interesting! Okay, so because I knew you're a commercial sales manager and when you started talking about Microsoft Teams, I was getting the impression that your team's dealing with some of the mid-size commercial accounts as opposed to being more of like, uh, you know, like a call center taking inbound calls and doing outbound calls like that."
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "We do. We have our own team here internally that supports a lot of different customer bases out there."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Got it. Okay, because you've got your partners and your distribution channel, so you're.. you're supporting them there as well."
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Correct, yes."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "All right, very good. Hey, last question because I know you mentioned you use Teams and you're thinking about switching the CRM, but that hasn't happened anytime soon, umm.. do you have a call center management platform that you use, like Five9, RingCentral, that kind of thing?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "uh.. I honestly could not tell you what our internal system are.. uh I'm not that familiar with it or who runs, better operates that. So I couldn't even tell you that, honestly."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Okay, and what I meant by that is, like, your team that's taking phone calls, when they take inbound phone calls. What is that phone system that they're using for taking the inbound calls?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "uh.. we just have Comcast, for that matter; I guess that's all I can really kind of reveal or tell you.. I.. uh, really don't know."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "No that's okay, no Comcast works just fine. Hey Wade, thanks for taking the time. I really appreciate it, and uh.. you know I'll drop you this info. Hey, last go, because I'll tell you what, that problem you have where you're trying to send recordings, big recordings, we can help you solve that one actually quite easily. Would you be open to.. because I know you're going to look at that info, you're probably going to have questions. Would you be open to a quick call after you see it? So, I'll send it over, and then we do a calendar, and again, we can keep it real brief. When you see this, I think you're going to go, wow, you know, that would help me a lot."
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "uh.. allow me to review everything and then I can get back to you on it."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Very good. Wade, thank you for your time."
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Yep. Absolutely."

Others are worried that perhaps, that's not an issue, but when they do, if they listen to them, they sound a bit cringe-worthy, and they think to themselves, 'You know what, I probably wouldn't want to meet with that person.' Or that may not be the case, it could be the fact that you're a little concerned they don't qualify hard enough, and as a result you're running around kissing frogs, meeting the wrong sort of person, and it's having a knock-on effect.
