So many of y’all wanted in on the AI Strategy beta we announced last week that we sprinted on a new version: a lightweight, FREE version of the tool that anyone can use. (Even if you’re not a Pocus customer yet!) We know that the best reps do deep account research and develop a strategic POV before outbounding, and this tool will help you do just that - in minutes, not hours. Here’s how it works: 1/ Tell us about your company and product 2/ Tell us who you want to sell to 3/ Our free tool gives you a breakdown of all the account info you need to know. From recent news to social media posts, you’ll have it all at your fingertips, plus helpful insight into how to sell strategically to that specific account. We weren’t planning on releasing this outside of the Pocus product originally, but we’re taking a few early users to help us test before we roll out to everyone. Want access to try it yourself? Comment “ 🔮” and we’ll send you a DM with the link.

3 major trends in GTM strategy from ICONIQ Capital’s State of GTM 2024 that caught our eye: 1/ Double down on consultative, specialized AEs. Strategic sales leaders are moving away from regional territories or divisions by business size. Many are organizing AEs by industry or business use case, allowing them to become experts at the needs of a niche target market. 2/ Embrace a hybrid sales strategy With budgets under scrutiny and longer sales cycles, multi-threading is more important than ever. But rather than targeting several leaders at a company, the best sellers are attacking their deals from both sides: selling to the end user and the decision maker. 3/ Aim for longer contracts Average contract length is slowly moving towards 3 years. There’s a higher sense of stability entering the market, making these longer deals much more appealing to customers than the past few years. Are you noticing any of these trends in your network? Share what you’re seeing in the comments! 👇

Reps spend 70% of their day on non-selling tasks. Something we hear over and over from sales leaders is that their best reps are consultative, doing deep research on their prospects. But all of that prep work comes at a price. It takes hours to dig through Google, LinkedIn, spreadsheets, call notes, and more. But until today, the only way for a rep to get faster was to be less personalized and relevant, resorting to spray and pray outbound. Today we’re launching Pocus AI Strategy in closed beta. Go from hours spent on deeply understanding accounts and developing POVs to minutes. With the AI strategy tab, leaders can give reps the force multiplier of AI without navigating the work of prompt engineering and using multiple tools to find the right data. Pocus customers participating in our closed beta can now get instant background research on their target accounts, including: - Recent news - LinkedIn activity - Gong transcripts - Seller notes - Your custom value props Read more about what AI Strategy by Pocus can do for you: https://lnkd.in/enHMtV69 Want to try it yourself?

AI is not magic. Growth hack gurus are all over social media, telling us to automate everything through AI. But it’s not as simple as clicking a couple of buttons and letting the deals roll in while you sleep. AI can do some amazing things, but it has limits. For example, it’s great at handling simple but tedious tasks like synthesizing meeting notes, but it still has room for improvement when it comes to writing emails that sound natural. In tomorrow’s newsletter, we’re walking through some simple ways to add AI to your GTM workflow. No hype. Just real, tactical advice. Subscribe here: https://lnkd.in/gf6WVXtE In the meantime, what AI tools are you *actually* using and seeing value out of on a daily basis?

“We’re focused on building the platform. AI is just an add-on.” A bold statement for a SaaS company today, but we loved Alex Kracov’s reasoning: You can always layer in AI where it makes sense, but you need to build a great product first. We couldn’t agree more. This week on our blog we’re recapping our recent AMA with Alex, including his experiences scaling GTM at Lattice, and then building Dock as the CEO and Co-Founder. In this AMA we covered: - Alex’s proven approach to building a GTM motion from scratch - How to create an effective partnership between sales and marketing - Alex’s top piece of advice to fellow founders and early-stage hires You can read the post or watch the recording at the links below.
