Hello everyone and welcome to Go to Market AI,

0:07

the future of your Go to Market tech stack.

0:10

I'm your host, Sarah McConnell.

0:11

These days, it seems like every company has AI.

0:14

But on this show, we want to go a level deeper so you can see

0:17

first-hand how businesses are actually applying AI to solve your business

0:21

challenges.

0:22

We're going deep into the use cases and showing you live demos of

0:25

the latest and greatest in AI technology.

0:28

Today, I'm so excited to be joined by Ava Cavall,

0:30

senior product marketing manager at Clary.

0:33

Ava, welcome to the show.

0:34

Thank you so much for joining.

0:35

Thank you, Sarah.

0:36

I'm so happy to be here, excited to talk to you.

0:38

I am super pumped about this demo.

0:41

I've loved your guys' brand for a very long time,

0:43

especially you guys just do such a good job from a marketing perspective.

0:46

But I try to keep myself unknown to the demos best as I can before the show,

0:50

so it feels authentic.

0:51

I'm very excited.

0:53

But before we jump into the demo,

0:55

can you tell us a little bit about who is Clary?

0:57

What do you guys do and who are you helping?

1:00

Absolutely.

1:01

So Clary is a revenue platform,

1:03

meaning that we run all workflows associated to revenue across the entire

1:07

funnel

1:08

for everyone in your revenue organization.

1:11

What is a revenue organization?

1:13

It is sales, service, marketing, finance.

1:16

Your sales enablement team, your product managers, even maybe,

1:19

anyone who touches that revenue process.

1:22

And we're doing this so that companies can answer the most important question

1:26

of whether they will meet, beat, or miss on revenue.

1:31

Revenue is the most important business process.

1:34

It's not just an outcome that you have limited control over.

1:38

And yet, there's no unified system to run revenue.

1:42

So a lot of companies are treating it kind of just as that outcome

1:46

that they have limited control over.

1:48

And the tools that they're using aren't really helping.

1:51

These are tools that are three decades old,

1:53

like your Excel, your BI, your CRM,

1:56

and more recently, a bunch of point solutions that only address one or two use

2:01

cases.

2:03

So all this means that your revenue-critical employees,

2:07

employees that impact revenue across all those teams,

2:10

they can't collaborate.

2:12

And so the revenue process can't be governed,

2:14

which means you're leaving a ton of revenue on the table.

2:19

And that is what we call revenue leak.

2:22

So what Clary does is we resolve those leaks, right?

2:25

We're plugging revenue leak so we can help you fix your revenue process

2:29

with a unified platform that runs all of your revenue workflows,

2:33

both internal and external across the entire funnel.

2:37

So we're doing automated data, activity capture,

2:41

we're improving your operational rigor,

2:43

we have the most accurate forecasting on the market,

2:46

we have next-level deal inspection, sales engagement prospecting,

2:49

buyer collaboration, conversation intelligence,

2:52

everything you need from rep to exec

2:54

so that you can run revenue like a process and achieve revenue position.

2:58

That is what-

2:58

That's all kinds of companies do that.

3:02

That's amazing, because I do feel like you hit it at the very beginning,

3:04

which is nothing's more important right now than revenue.

3:06

There's nothing we care about more,

3:08

and also I feel like in this time nothing feels really squishy to get to

3:13

revenue.

3:13

You kind of said it, like,

3:15

they doesn't feel like we have as much control of it as we want to.

3:18

It's hard to forecast, it's hard to know what's happening,

3:20

things are changing very rapidly in the market right now.

3:23

So I'm so excited for you to jump into this demo

3:25

so we can see Clarice AI functionality and see how that can help revenue teams

3:29

be more rigorous with the ref.

3:33

Yeah, absolutely.

3:34

And before I do jump into the demo,

3:37

I just want to call something out for your audience.

3:39

Obviously, we're talking about AI today.

3:43

And AI's been around for a long time.

3:46

Of course, the spikes in development this past year have made everyone hype on

3:50

it

3:50

and every company claim that they have unique AI that nobody else has.

3:54

But ultimately, as AI models commoditize over time,

3:58

it's Clarice's perspective that it won't be the algorithms

4:02

that are going to stand out anymore.

4:04

It's going to be all about the data and the workflows that AI enables

4:08

to create that really enhanced experience for users.

4:13

And that's what I love about Clarice AI.

4:15

Yes, we've been building AI into our platform from the beginning

4:18

when we started a decade ago.

4:20

But what makes it so different is that Clarice owns every revenue workflow.

4:26

I said it both internal and external.

4:28

And our AI is integrated in all that.

4:30

So we're enabling these really smart workflows across the entire funnel

4:36

that nobody else can because they don't think about the entire revenue process

4:40

the way Clarice does.

4:42

So yeah, just a quick primer and also a good transition for us to get into our

4:47

platform.

4:48

So I will get going on our demo.

4:53

So what we're looking at here, this is what we call our inspect module.

4:59

Now, clearly is a really robust solution.

5:02

So I won't be getting into all the nitty-gritties of how everything works

5:06

because then we'll be sitting here for two hours.

5:08

But what we're looking at here,

5:11

this is the core to Clary, where all of your opportunity and accounts are

5:15

stored

5:16

in this really functional grid where reps can take actions,

5:21

they update everything every single day, managers keep on top of deals

5:25

that need their attention, and revenue leaders can get that quick sense

5:31

of what's going on with their business.

5:33

So they know where they need to jump in for executive sponsorship.

5:37

So right off the bat, you can see that AI is woven into this experience already

5:42

through something as simple as our color coding here.

5:45

Right? We have deal indicators over here on the left side, on every deal,

5:50

giving you a heads up on what's going on.

5:53

So you see the quality and the frequency of updates on each deal from your team

5:58

So you just have a quick understanding of where you need to spend your time,

6:02

and there's no need to rehash and revisit every single detail.

6:06

Right? And it's really clear.

6:08

Green's great. Red's bad. Right?

6:10

Well, it was new to UI right there.

6:12

It makes it super simple.

6:14

The first thing my eyes went to when you shared your screen,

6:17

which is just, I feel like a really great UI for the AI functionality is like,

6:21

I understand it. I see the quick glance.

6:23

I that red is immediately where I'm going to draw my attention to what needs

6:26

help.

6:27

Exactly. And that's really a big part of,

6:30

well, our AI solution, which we call res AI,

6:33

is making it easier, right? Reducing some of the admin, increasing productivity

6:39

So we can create what we call the 10x rep or the 10x revenue leader that are

6:43

doing so much more.

6:44

So how are we identifying all these positive and negative indicators?

6:49

It's all based on the activity data that we're pulling in here over here on the

6:53

right.

6:54

If you can see that and we're capturing all this activity and data across your

6:58

CRM,

6:58

your emails or calendars, your other data warehouses, CI, and we're

7:04

automatically pulling that all of

7:06

that into what we call res DB, our revenue database.

7:10

And then we're layering logic on top of that with Rev AI.

7:13

So we're pulling in all this rich revenue data and leveraging AI to assign it

7:18

to the right

7:18

accounts and opportunities and contacts that leads and we're dedoping things.

7:22

So you get this comprehensive historical view of all the data on your deal.

7:27

And then we're automatically color coding it for you, right?

7:30

Because we want to make it easy. We want to make it simple to understand.

7:33

So that's just one super simple way that we are marrying data and AI and making

7:40

it easy.

7:41

So forget looking at every opportunity in CRM or Excel.

7:44

This is like the first step really in our minds to driving a productive

7:47

workflow.

7:48

And if I dive in a bit deeper on the specific opportunity, we're looking at

7:52

here at bill.com.

7:54

I'm going to click this activity details button. And basically, I'm looking at

7:58

all the associated

7:59

activities the rep has had with this process, which is all pulled in through

8:04

again, that automatic

8:05

data capture and AI helping to clean it up and properly associate to everything

8:09

And here I can see just in the last couple of days, we had some emails.

8:14

I can click that button right there and summarize the emails associated to this

8:20

deal over the past

8:22

week in just a second, right? So I'm not spending a bunch of time reading

8:27

everything and wasting

8:27

any time. I'm getting up to speed quickly. And I know if there's anything going

8:31

glaringly wrong

8:32

here. And we click into the previous week, because it's only Tuesday. Seems

8:37

like there's not much

8:38

going on on this deal. And I'm just scrolling down through the rest of the

8:41

activities. I want to

8:42

see if we have a call on this one, which, you know what? I thought we did have

8:47

a call. Oh, there it

8:48

was. I just crawled right past it. All righty. We'll just load up again.

8:52

And I'm going to just pull up a call now the way we're able to pull up calls

9:01

and emails and events

9:02

is again, do that data capture, but also because Clary has a conversation

9:08

intelligence solution

9:09

called co-pilot. So I'm pulling in my calls right alongside the rest of our

9:13

activities here.

9:15

And with Rev AI, I'm getting another similar smart summary. I'm getting a

9:19

summary of this call that

9:20

took place last week. So as a revenue leader, I don't need to go waste my one-

9:24

on-one asking for

9:25

an update. I'm seeing that summary live. I'm seeing the action items and who

9:29

they're assigned to.

9:31

I'm seeing the topics that were discussed. And if I need to dive in deeper, if

9:35

there's something

9:35

glaringly wrong here, I'm going to click to view the recording and pull that

9:40

right up

9:40

all within the same flow of work. So I again, see that summary in the action

9:46

items, but I can watch

9:47

the call. I can leave a comment. I can create a scorecard, a game tape,

9:52

whatever I need to do

9:53

here, all in that same flow of work. So that's how we're really pulling in some

9:57

of our qualitative,

9:59

our predictive and our generative AI all into one experience in this inspect

10:05

section of Clary,

10:06

where you're doing your deal and pipeline inspection. I feel like that point of

10:10

... Oh, I was just going to say, I feel like the point of the saving time in your

10:14

one-on-one is such a

10:15

underrepresented or underappreciated benefit of having AI in your products like

10:20

this, which is,

10:20

if it's been a week since I'm a rep, I'm working multiple deals and I get

10:25

another one-on-one with

10:25

my sales leader and they ask for an update. I'm like, I don't remember. It's

10:28

been, you know,

10:29

I've slept three different times. I've got five other deals I'm trying to work.

10:33

I don't remember

10:34

what's happening here is the ability to have AI functionality that lets leaders

10:39

and managers come

10:40

in and get an unbiased update and an accurate update in one platform. And it's

10:46

really is such a huge

10:48

benefit that we don't see enough of. So I love seeing this in Clary. Yeah, you

10:52

nailed it honestly.

10:53

A lot of customers know Clary for forecasting, right? But what they don't

10:59

realize is you can't

11:00

even get to accurate forecasting if you don't have that operational rigor

11:03

within your revenue team.

11:05

And yet there, you need to be able to have the full and complete history, the

11:11

context, right?

11:12

This is all qualitative details and you need to be able to do that quickly on

11:17

the fly and review

11:17

it quickly. We don't need revenue leaders or first-line managers wasting one-on

11:22

-ones is just,

11:24

you know, a back-and-forth status update. What we want to enable them to do is

11:28

turn it into more

11:29

of a strategic collaboration and really get back to the heart of selling. So

11:34

exactly you nailed it.

11:36

All of these features enable us to up level reps and managers in that

11:41

experience. So you're

11:43

absolutely right. And that's actually a great connection to the next thing I

11:46

want to show you,

11:47

which is right here called our CRN score. This is actually a really important

11:52

feature in AI

11:53

feature here. This is our proprietary AI score for every deal. It's between 0

11:59

and 100 and it

11:59

indicates how likely Clary thinks the deal is to close. And what's incredible

12:04

about this is

12:05

the CRM score is calculated uniquely to every customer's organization. It's

12:12

plugged into their

12:13

CRM. We don't have a run-of-the-mill generic algorithm that we're applying

12:17

across everything.

12:19

CRM scores looking at all the standard and custom fields that each organization

12:24

is using

12:25

and their unique history of how deals close. So it's considering really unique

12:30

factors.

12:30

It's looking at how long certain things are taking, for example, if you're

12:34

getting stuck in a

12:35

contract phase, how does that impact the deal and how does that compare to

12:39

other deals.

12:39

And it's also considering the conversion rates of every single sales rep. And

12:45

it's recalculated

12:46

twice a day. So it's really fresh all the time. So that had an incredible

12:51

amount of information

12:52

to ingest. And I just love these small features because it's just such a good

12:56

gut check. If you

12:57

have a rep saying, "Oh, this one's in commit, 100% this is closing." But as a

13:01

leader, you come in

13:02

and you're like, "Wait, but it's showing a score of 46. It's red. Something is

13:05

off here. Something

13:06

is getting flagged in our algorithm that says, "You think this is commit, but

13:10

it's not showing here."

13:11

And it gives you that gut check to be like, "Okay, let's dig in a little bit

13:14

deeper. Where is the

13:15

disconnect happening?" And I love that because I think it's so hard for reps to

13:19

just have like

13:20

an unbiased forecast of how a deal could progress. You nailed it. Not only is

13:25

the CRM score a guiding

13:27

factor, but it's a way to triangulate that human intuition with what the

13:31

machine says,

13:32

not just from an inspection standpoint, but like you said, for forecasting,

13:36

right? If something's in

13:37

commit and we don't even know the decision process, how are we okay with that,

13:42

right?

13:42

It's really scrutinized every single deal, especially the way 2023 has been.

13:48

The trend's going into

13:49

2024, right? So our customers are using CRM score every single day. It's

13:54

refresh constantly. We're

13:56

always working to hone all the AI that's operating in the background. And it's

14:01

a great leading

14:02

indicator, right? So for both reps and for managers. So I'd like to move on

14:08

into our analyze

14:11

section. Now, beyond the day today of deal inspection and pipeline management,

14:16

Rev. AI is an important part of our analytics. And we have, you can see here

14:21

several modules,

14:21

I'm not going to go into all of them because again, it would take us forever.

14:25

But I'm going to

14:25

click into Pulse. And we're going to spend a minute here. Pulse, basically,

14:30

exactly what it

14:32

sounds like helps our customers keep a pulse on the quarter, right? How are

14:35

things shaping up

14:36

this quarter? And we can look at it this quarter. We can look at next quarter.

14:40

We can go into years

14:41

if we're doing a bit more of planning. And right off the top, I'm seeing our AI

14:45

projection right

14:46

here at the top here. I'm comparing it to my quota. Looks like Clarice AI

14:50

thinks we're not

14:51

going to hit it. I see how much we've closed one, what's our gap. And I'm going

14:55

to click into the

14:56

AI projection over here on the right, I can see our min and our max. I can see

15:01

the trends. And I

15:02

can get all of the indicators behind the factors that's driving this AI

15:07

projection. So this is a

15:09

really important factor here. All of Clarice AI is very transparent. There's no

15:14

black box

15:15

operating that you can't figure out. We want you to help you think. We want to

15:21

help you understand

15:22

its reasoning. So we're showing you all of the information and we're providing

15:27

that everywhere

15:28

throughout the platform. Because the question has to be asked, if you had a

15:33

better sense of whether

15:35

you were going to meet, beat or miss on revenue two weeks, four weeks, six

15:39

weeks before the

15:39

quota closes, how would that impact the actual actions that your revenue

15:44

organization takes?

15:45

So Clarice forecast is the most accurate on the business. We have customers

15:51

that are hitting 98%

15:53

forecast accuracy within week two. That's insane. And it's our goal to help

15:58

every organization get

15:59

that information so they can know earlier if they're going to hit quota and

16:03

take the right actions.

16:04

So if we look down at the graph here, it's a lot of information. But basically

16:10

what we're looking at

16:11

is our quarter broken out by week and each week broken down by stage. Now we

16:17

can break it down by

16:19

stage or forecast category. We'll just take a look at stage here. And overlaid

16:24

on all of that

16:26

are our teams calls as well as the forecast projection from rev AI. And if we

16:34

look throughout,

16:35

it looks like our team is calling it a bit higher than our AI projection the

16:40

whole quarter. So we

16:41

might have some rose colored glasses on. But we're getting a story here through

16:46

the analytics and

16:47

through the AI laid over it. And we can see right away that the AI might be

16:52

picking up things that

16:53

humans just don't right because even the best sales rep in the world can't

16:56

compete with everything

16:57

that AI considers. So if I look at weeks two and three, for example, right off

17:02

the bat, I can see

17:03

from week two to week three, we had a pretty big drop in that pipe. But if you

17:07

take a look at our

17:09

team's calls, sorry, this overlay keeps getting the way. We didn't really our

17:14

team didn't really

17:15

change their call. They didn't really react to that cheap and drop in pipeline.

17:20

But the AI

17:20

projection did, right? You can see it drop down here pretty significantly while

17:25

our team stayed

17:26

pretty flat. So that's just one example of how rev AI is helping to pull out n

17:33

uggets

17:33

to help you operate better and achieve revenue precision.

17:37

That is it. I'm sorry, go ahead. Oh, say that's that's really great. I know I

17:42

work with

17:43

our ops team really closely. We're always looking at forecasting. I know how

17:47

difficult it can be

17:48

if you're doing it in something like a excel or Google sheet and you're trying

17:52

to aggregate all

17:53

of the data from all your different systems. It starts my heart hearing now.

17:56

And you said it best,

17:58

even the best human who's incredible at their job, there's just things that are

18:02

going to happen

18:03

in trends over time that you're just going to miss that having this AI support

18:07

can help you catch

18:08

and detect early and the earlier the better. To your point, you have a quarter,

18:12

it's only three

18:12

months that you need to fix something. If you're off, you don't notice it till

18:15

halfway through the

18:16

quarter, you're going to be in big trouble. You have to catch those things

18:18

early.

18:19

Yeah. And you know, even in a good year, if we're over shooting our quota, that

18:26

also is a cost to

18:27

the company. So it really is about hitting the mark. Going above, going below,

18:32

both can be really

18:33

detrimental. Obviously, a lot of teams are struggling to even hit quota right

18:37

now. So knowing earlier

18:39

and being able to strategize in new ways with your team, that's really the

18:43

golden, golden ticket here.

18:45

And having that forecast accuracy is key. And the only way that Clary is able

18:49

to hit something like

18:50

98% forecast accuracy in week two is because of that revenue database I

18:55

mentioned, because RevDB

18:57

takes your full complete historical data. It's snapshotting your CRM every 15

19:04

minutes, something that

19:05

CRMs don't do on their own, right? And it's aggregating all of that and looking

19:10

at unique

19:10

factors for your organization. So it's a really robust calculation we have here

19:15

Next, I'm going to take us into our trend module. Now, this is something you

19:21

simply can't get from

19:22

CRM. It's point in time analysis. And again, where we're taking the snapshots

19:28

of your data every 15

19:29

minutes so that you can come in here and you can pick any day in the quarter,

19:34

really not day

19:36

45 of the quarter, but you can pick any day in the quarter and see how your

19:42

pipeline looks and get

19:43

a projection from Clary on where the machine thinks are going to end up. And

19:48

that projection,

19:49

again, is incredibly accurate, right? We can see it right up here, front and

19:53

center. And the question

19:54

has to be asked, how different would your business be if you knew a month

19:58

earlier where you're going

19:59

to land? So similar to Pulse, a lot to look at here. So let me explain this.

20:05

Basically, what

20:06

we're seeing is the historical data here that on this day, in each quarter, the

20:11

past four quarters,

20:13

how has the team performed and how they've converted each stage? We're actually

20:19

looking at

20:19

forecast category. You can look at that. I like looking at stage for this one.

20:23

I think it's really

20:24

informative and helpful. And so here on the far right, we have the live data

20:30

for this quarter,

20:31

right? We're seeing how we're converting each stage and how Clary's Rev AI

20:38

projects us to hit at the

20:39

end of the quarter, comparing what we're doing as of today to what we think we

20:44

'll be doing based

20:46

on Rev AI, if that makes sense. And then again, comparing that to the past year

20:51

's performance,

20:52

compared to the current quarter's performance. And what's incredible here is,

20:57

again, Rev AI is

20:59

really complex in the background. So it's even considering one of unexpected

21:04

wins as part of the

21:05

data set. So it's really robust. And that's what's enabling us to be so

21:10

accurate. So you can get a

21:11

sense of how much your quarter is going to end up being maybe a Hail Mary,

21:15

right? There are reps

21:17

that like to hide things from CRM until the last minute when they're absolutely

21:20

sure. And you can

21:22

start to uncover those patterns with this type of AI and analysis, surfacing

21:25

that information for

21:26

you. And we can stay high level, look at the whole team and compare to how we

21:30

were doing every other

21:31

quarter, or we could even drop down to specific regions, even specific reps, if

21:36

we really, really

21:38

want to drill down and get nitty gritty with how to improve our rep performance

21:41

. And then from

21:44

there, we can dive into the opportunities that make up the call and get in the

21:47

weeds. So that's

21:49

something else that I think is so powerful about Clary is just the ability to

21:52

go from the 30,000 foot

21:54

view and drop all the way down to the one foot view. Absolutely. And I really

21:58

like your point of

21:59

how it feels like it can normalize the variability that is humans. You kind of

22:03

touched on the point

22:04

of like, you know, some reps are going to commit deals differently. They're

22:07

going to hide things in

22:09

the CRM. Like they're just, there's so much variability in your team of sales

22:12

reps and how they're going to

22:13

use and interact with data and to have a eye to kind of normalize that to find

22:18

those trends and

22:19

get you like a good midline and be able to tell you and find these like outl

22:23

iers. That's something

22:24

as a human that is really, really hard to do. So this is huge, so beneficial.

22:28

I think it's just all going back to this theme of what we've been talking about

22:32

the whole time,

22:33

being able to triangulate the rep or the team's perspective, right, against the

22:40

rev AI projections.

22:41

You're not just stuck with that gut intuition. You're not stuck with the human

22:44

behaviors.

22:45

You're not stuck with the Excel static Excel model, right? You're bringing

22:49

together all these different

22:50

perspectives and getting guidance that you can compare to. So really powerful

22:54

stuff

22:55

throughout all of our analytics modules. Minus switch gears for a separate and

23:01

go one tab over

23:02

into Clary Co-Pilot. So this is our conversation intelligence solution. You

23:07

already saw some of

23:08

the capabilities with Co-Pilot that I showed you where we started out in

23:11

inspect, right? We saw the

23:13

smart call summary reviewed the call recording on the flow of work. That's all

23:17

through Clary

23:19

Co-Pilot because it is one integrated revenue platform. So if I were to click

23:25

through to see any

23:26

of review, any of these calls directly in Co-Pilot, again, I see that smart

23:30

summary. I see my action

23:32

items all here to make my life easier and save me time from having to actually

23:36

review a call.

23:38

How many times have you actually sat down and reviewed your team's calls?

23:43

Nobody has time for

23:44

that. I wish I did. So, I wish I had time, but we just don't. No, it's a

23:50

beautiful pipe dream.

23:51

But what's incredible here is Co-Pilot also has a ton of AI running in the

23:58

background

23:59

on every call live, right? So as a CI solution, we're transcribing in real time

24:05

, which is actually

24:05

very unique to Co-Pilot. A lot of other CI solutions are not doing real time

24:09

transcription.

24:10

And we're doing it across multiple languages. So that's a first. Our

24:15

transcription accuracy,

24:16

just like our forecasting accuracy, is a leader in the market. We've actually

24:21

done some tests against

24:22

competitors and proven the hat. So because we're doing this all in real time,

24:27

we're able to provide

24:29

other real time capabilities that really help reps on every call. So you saw

24:35

the smart call summary,

24:36

originally in a spec, you saw it right there on that call. We can also share it

24:41

in Slack to the

24:42

reps directly after the call. So I'm actually going to switch my screen share

24:47

for a second here and

24:50

hopefully show you a live call that I had last week. Great. So here you're

24:57

looking at the smart

24:58

call summary of this call that I had last week. I got this just a couple of

25:02

seconds after the call.

25:03

And down here, I'm actually going to click to send a follow up email. And so

25:08

what's happening is

25:10

Rev. AI is generating a follow up email and the voice in tone of me as my role

25:15

that I could send

25:16

to my prospect or whoever else was on the call. It includes a summary. It

25:20

includes an action item.

25:21

There's a couple of quippy things in there, right? And I can adjust anything I

25:26

need. But this is

25:28

what I mean when I say Rev. AI is enabling productivity enables Hennec's rep,

25:33

right? Because they're not

25:34

spending time taking notes and putting them into CRM on the call. That's the

25:38

call summary. They're

25:39

not spending time drafting every email from scratch. That's the smart follow up

25:44

. So we're

25:45

removing the admin of the day to day. So reps can focus on what matters, which

25:49

is connecting with

25:50

the customer. Now, let's be honest, a lot of companies are summarizing, right?

25:56

Let me show you

25:57

something that we're actually doing that's quite different. So I'm going to

26:00

switch back into co-pilot

26:02

here. And I'd like to show you our battle cards and our smart battle cards. So

26:09

like I mentioned,

26:10

Cleary co-pilot is transcribing in real time, right? So this means we have real

26:15

time capabilities,

26:16

like real time coaching through what we call battle cards. And you can see some

26:20

example battle

26:21

cards right here that we've created to help all of our reps. And these can be

26:28

coaching for

26:29

ejection handling, competitive pricing, or you can do what we do sometimes and

26:36

actually

26:36

associate to a specific sales play or a campaign. So it's really up to your

26:41

enablement team and

26:41

your ops team to decide what goes in there. But battle cards are incredibly

26:45

powerful as a coaching

26:47

tool because they increase win rates by 10% for reps who use them. This is

26:52

analysis we've done.

26:53

But Cleary's thinking about this beyond just coaching, right? And we're

26:58

leveraging

26:59

gen AI capabilities to help our enablement teams create and leverage battle

27:03

cards in new ways.

27:05

So I can create from scratch, right? I can add trigger words really easily. I

27:10

can categorize it.

27:12

And I can start talking about good stuff here. And there's your battle card. I

27:18

launch it.

27:18

And it'll trigger live and help a rep in their moment of need, right? But here

27:24

's our perspective.

27:25

There's so much incredible content that marketing teams and content teams and

27:31

product

27:31

marketing teams are creating and putting out there. But it doesn't get used

27:35

effectively by reps

27:37

because there's just such a breadth of content. How do we succinctly and

27:41

effectively bring this

27:42

to be used on every call in every revenue critical moment and elevate our reps

27:47

and how

27:48

they're communicating with their customers, right? And that's what we think

27:52

battle cards

27:53

really enable us to do and enable our customers to do. So it's not just about

27:57

coaching. It's how

27:58

you educate the market with more informed sellers. And with gen AI, we're

28:03

taking the burden off the

28:05

enablement teams for having to spend so much time going through all that

28:09

marketing content,

28:11

all the enablement docs, all the external facing docs and turning that into

28:14

something

28:15

succinct for reps. So let me show you how we're doing this with gen AI.

28:20

This is a real deck that our reps use. This is our rev AI pitch deck. And you

28:27

can see there's

28:28

some really solid messaging in here, but it's also really visual. There's

28:32

quotes. There's all

28:33

this information, right? So an enablement person could read this and try to

28:41

figure out, okay,

28:41

maybe I just take, you know, the top three things and I throw it into a battle

28:44

card and that's all

28:45

great. But sometimes that can be really challenging, especially if the enable

28:50

ment team hasn't been

28:51

working on that content. So they're spending on way too much time doing that.

28:54

Well, this is where

28:55

rev AI is generative AI capabilities help. So I'm going to literally load up

29:00

that exact pitch deck

29:02

that we just took a look at. I'm going to hit that generate button. And you can

29:06

do this with any

29:07

content, right? It's it can be a PDF, a one-pager, a messaging and positioning

29:12

document, a deck,

29:13

like what I just did. The point is that rev AI is doing the work for you in the

29:19

background and

29:19

will generate a succinct set of bullets that are what a rep should be talking

29:24

about live on a call.

29:26

So we can see it's already added our trigger words. Maybe we select a couple of

29:30

those.

29:31

We'll categorize it and down below we have the most important information. You

29:36

even have some of

29:37

the customer stories included in there and some quippy emotion, emojis to make

29:42

it fun.

29:43

And so we can publish that and use that. And so not only in this case are we

29:49

saving enablement

29:50

time, but we are pushing the boundaries of how you take marketing contents

29:56

through enablement

29:57

into your go-to-market works. That far resonates with me so much because I ask

30:02

the within marketing years all the time, where they're like, well, what content do

30:05

you have? What

30:05

content do you have for this particular scenario of this scenario? And what we

30:09

always find is that

30:10

content exists. It's just hard to find it and put it in a way that's a util

30:15

izable by the sales team.

30:16

It's there. The marketing has done their job. They've created it, but getting

30:20

that hand off

30:20

right and in a way that's in a system that they're going to use. It's in

30:24

language that they want.

30:25

And to your point, this is so fast. I don't have to hand it over to enablement,

30:29

wait for them to try to read through the doc we've created and write this up.

30:32

It's just speeding

30:33

that process up and making it so much easier for them to find it. So I love

30:37

this part because as

30:38

a marketer that has a bunch of great content out there that I want my sales

30:40

team to use,

30:41

I can absolutely see the use case here and how beneficial this could be for

30:44

them.

30:45

Exactly. And I think again, it's about like we can think even beyond that as

30:49

marketers, like,

30:50

how do we take a campaign or updated messaging and then activate that through

30:55

battle cards in a new

30:56

way? Right. So it's not just about, oh, pricing came up and it pops up your

31:01

pricing PDF. Like,

31:03

that's great. We need that and reps really, really benefit from that. But then

31:08

how do we

31:09

up level the message that our reps are telling the market? It's by taking

31:14

exactly, like you said,

31:15

taking that marketing content and really making it actionable on every single

31:19

call

31:20

in that revenue critical moment. And there's just no way we could do that

31:23

without AI.

31:24

Absolutely. Yeah. So that concludes everything I wanted to walk you through. I

31:29

think the big takeaway

31:30

here that I've gotten through our back and forth is right, REVEI is using a

31:34

blend of predictive

31:35

and generative AI. It's increasing productivity and predictability so that you

31:41

can meet those

31:42

revenue goals in every revenue moment. So I think it's all going back to that

31:48

super important question.

31:50

Are you going to meet Veed or Miss on revenue and how can we predict that

31:54

earlier so we can take

31:55

the right actions? Oh, but thank you so much for taking us through this. And I

31:59

know you probably

32:00

only just scratched the surface on everything that Cleary can do because I know

32:03

you guys have

32:03

so much going on in here. Yeah. And I want to say this was great because in

32:06

that short amount of

32:07

time, now I want to see all the rest of it. And even though we don't have time

32:11

on the show,

32:11

if you're watching this and you're interested, obviously you can go to Cleary's

32:14

website and get

32:15

a full demo of all these products. I know I really want you after seeing this

32:19

because like,

32:20

I have to imagine there's so much more goodness. Oh, yeah. And we have product

32:23

tours and videos

32:25

and all the good stuff. Anything you'll need. So with that being said, I would

32:29

love to move

32:30

into our final section, which is our lightning round Q&A. If you're ready, let

32:34

's do it. Awesome.

32:35

So the first question is how long has Cleary been building AI into your product

32:40

Oh, literally from when it's inception, from when we were founded 10 years ago.

32:45

And I think,

32:46

again, that's what makes our AI so different is we really focused on what are

32:51

the use cases

32:52

and the workflows that revenue critical employees need. And we built AI around

32:57

that. So again,

32:58

it is not this generic horizontal stuff that can be applied to a million

33:02

different use cases.

33:03

It's super narrow and it is built for value. I love that answer. I love when

33:09

companies come on

33:10

and say, like, hey, we've had this for a really long time. It's more to the

33:13

forefront now because

33:14

of the popularity in AI, which is part of why we do this show. But that

33:19

everything in Cleary is like

33:20

the forecasting. This has all been in there from the very beginning and that

33:23

you guys have been

33:23

building around this AI capability. So I love that answer. I think that speaks

33:27

volumes to why the

33:28

demo you showed is so good. Awesome. Yeah. So next question for you is what you

33:33

just showed on the

33:34

demo today is that generally available if a customer was to buy Cleary tomorrow

33:37

? Yes. Yes,

33:39

yes. Yes. Everything I showed is currently in GA. And we have so much more

33:44

coming out that I

33:45

can't show you, but I can't wait to tell you about in speaking of customers who

33:50

are some of

33:51

the customers that are currently benefiting from Cleary's AI functionality. Oh,

33:55

I mean,

33:55

every Cleary customer benefits from our AI because it's not a part of a bunch

34:01

of add-ons you have

34:02

to purchase is integrated again across the entire platform in every step of the

34:08

revenue

34:09

process. So it's included in every SKU, every package. And we are a partner or

34:14

we're helping

34:15

customers across every industry. Tons of innovative companies, including Work

34:19

day, ADP, Databricks,

34:21

Adobe, Zoom, AT&T, Cisco, Fortinet, and Informatica. I could go on and on. I

34:26

have them

34:26

check out our website. Lots of ask for their answer. They're all on your

34:29

website. But those are,

34:30

yeah, very impressive brands and revenue is imported to every single company.

34:34

So I can imagine

34:34

that a couple of things, rings and companies because who doesn't need it? Who

34:38

doesn't need

34:39

predictability in their revenue? Exactly. And I think the other thing too is

34:43

certain industries

34:44

to be totally transparent are not as mature in addressing the revenue process.

34:49

And I think

34:50

what's really incredible about Cleary is the ability to grow with the platform.

34:54

Right? Some

34:54

of our customers are just using Cleary for data automation and that sales rigor

34:59

, and they're not

35:00

even ready for forecasting yet. So we really grow with our customers and help

35:03

them reach their revenue

35:04

goals. That's amazing. Okay. The very last question is, what is next on Cleary

35:10

's AI roadmap? Where

35:11

are you guys taking Cleary's AI functionality next? Yeah. Yeah. The future is

35:15

bright.

35:16

Not only are our PMs really obsessive over AI, but our leadership is so

35:24

invested in how we

35:26

continue to push the envelope on what REVEI can do for our customers. And again

35:31

, what makes this

35:32

position so well to deliver that real value is our experience with revenue and

35:38

how much expertise

35:39

we have. So some of the things I'm excited about is competitive sentiment

35:43

analysis. We have new

35:46

engagement scoring that's coming out where you'll be able to compare how your

35:49

engagement across

35:50

different accounts. What that means, a whole new way to do analytics with

35:55

earlier pipeline

35:56

analytics and AI built into all that now that we acquired Groove. Yep. All of

36:00

this stuff we can do.

36:01

And then the real holy grail that we are working toward is being able to build

36:07

an entire sales

36:09

play with automation and AI and the right trigger points, the right messaging,

36:14

the right play to

36:15

push out. So you're really getting systematic about your approach to every

36:21

prospect. So

36:21

a lot of good stuff coming. Our team guys are busy and you guys create amazing

36:26

products. So

36:27

I'm super excited to see where you guys take this. With that being said, all

36:31

that, thank you so,

36:33

so much for joining GoToMarket.ai today. I loved seeing this demo. You guys are

36:36

doing such an

36:37

incredible job. So thank you for taking the time today to join us. Absolutely.

36:41

Thank you so much,

36:42

Sarah. Really appreciate it.
