    CEO Spekit 🐙 Reinventing enablement for the reps ✨

    I’m thrilled to announce a game-changer for sales enablement: Spekit's AI-powered content recommendations!✨ Years ago, I pitched a vision for a new kind of enablement: a world where Spekit 🐙 understands a rep's situation and delivers perfect content just in time. Today, that dream is a reality! We spent months listening to reps. Their biggest pain point? Finding the right content for meeting preparation and follow-ups. Reps waste time searching clunky repositories, often unaware of what to search for or what valuable resources hide within. Spekit’s AI eliminates the guesswork. It recommends the most relevant, personalized content based on a rep's situation seamlessly within their favorite tools, such as Gmail, Gong, Chorus, Salesloft, Outlook Browser, and more! Old way of finding sales content 🥱 1) 🙇 Review your call summary in Gong after chatting with a hot prospect. 2)💡 Realize it’d be great to have a case study that speaks to the ROI of your product for that industry. 3) 🔍 Leave Gong to dig through your CMS and Google Drive before eventually Slacking your marketing team to find it. The new way of finding sales content 🚀 1) ✨ Spekit analyzes the intent and context of your call summary and automatically serves you up that exact case study or battle card on a silver platter. That's it - no leaving, hunting, digging, Slacking required. The result? ⏱ Faster prep & follow-up: Stay focused and close deals quicker. ✅ No more context switching: Find resources without leaving email/call platforms. 🙌 Boosted Confidence: Tackle any situation with the right knowledge. 🚮 Reduced content waste: Ensure valuable resources get used. The best part? There's no extra setup (tagging or integrations). Spekit AI automatically delivers recommendations right where they’re working. This is just the beginning! Thank you to all of the reps who gave us feedback and helped shape this user experience over the last six months to bring this vision to life. Spekit's AI is now available in beta for all reps to experience. Ready to see it in action? Check out our new website! www.spekit.com #salesenablement #salestech #ai #salesproductivity #futureofwork

    Focused on helping founders build great business software companies. Devoted father, tonal zealot, and unprofessional storyteller.

    In a recent conversation, Sam Altman shared how AI is changing the game for startups. He mentioned a betting pool among his tech CEO friends on who will be the first to create a one-person billion-dollar company, made possible by AI. While this may seem far-fetched, it's clear that AI will have a significant impact on the playbook for SaaS companies. For founders with a strong problem/solution pair, AI should allow for more effective capital deployment and less dilution. At Bonfire Ventures, we're conducting research to help guide founders in rethinking their R&D and GTM strategies. We'll be sharing our findings broadly, but we're also looking for recommendations from our LinkedIn community on thought-leaders, practitioners, and vendors to talk to. Who do you think are the leading voices in this space? Let us know in the comments below. #AIimpact #startups #SaaS #founders #research #innovation
