SellScale

In late '22, we raised a seed round. I remember in early convos timidly explaining what LLMs were. (I know, sounds crazy!) Then, ChatGPT dropped. Instantly, everyone knew about AI. Here we are now: AI Agents. This time, I will be singing it from the roof. Two things: 1) They are going to change the world (blog link in comments to see how) 2) If you 🫵 are an SF Founder building agentic apps, DM me. We are hosting a private dinner in the next month, and you should come. 🥂 Here's to an agentic future 🚀 𝘈𝘎𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘐𝘊 (𝘢𝘥𝘫): 𝘐𝘯 𝘓𝘓𝘔𝘴, "𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘤" 𝘴𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘴 𝘨𝘰 𝘣𝘦𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯; 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺, 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘢𝘭𝘴.

Today, we are launching Selix, an e2e agent built for prospecting. In our first demo, I outline how Selix can execute an outreach idea 100% autonomously. Zero marginal time to outreach gives more time for high quality ideas. The future of work is AI Agents. Try Selix for your own business at sellscale.com.

Pear VC had their first GTM summit last week! 🍐 I had the "AI and Sales" section. Here's 5 lessons I took away from 5 great panelists: 1. Madisen Obiedo (GSB ) - Effective founder story telling is everything in the early days. Requires focus, refinement of ICP, and not hiring too early/too fast. 2. Ted (WorkRamp) - Assembling your BD team is not a 'silver bullet'. Requires iteration on hiring, training, and team structure. 3. Caroline Caselli (Moveworks) - Lack of deep understanding of customer problem = No sale. Important to identify customer pain points and situation. 4. Mollie Javerbaum (OpenAI) - Even when your product practically sells itself (😅), your team needs to be looking for unique ways to create new value for customers 5. Lauren McLaughlin (Prev Zoom-Okta-ZenDesk) - Measuring metrics is critical - everything from inputs (calls + emails) to connects to opps created to pipeline. This tells you inefficiencies to optimize in your sales process. My thought? (AI + Sales) is already powerful enough to generate the majority of your next quarter's top-funnel pipeline. Integrate early! 🚀
