Nooks

🎉We just raised our $43M Series B, led by Kleiner Perkins. 🎉 It’s a big day for Nooks. And an even bigger day for sales teams everywhere. Here’s why: We’re using that investment to double-down on our mission to humanize sales pipeline generation. And to announce our AI Sales Assistant Platform (ASAP). The world’s fastest-growing companies already use our AI Dialing Assistant to generate over 70% of their pipeline. Now, we’re adding two new assistants to the platform: ✅ The AI Coaching Assistant with automated scorecards and AI roleplay to cut onboarding time by 50% and more ✅ The AI Prospecting Assistant with account research, list building, and email writing to quickly identify and engage your best prospects These assistants integrate and reinforce each other. Helping your teams generate 2-3x more pipeline fast.  —- At Nooks, we believe the future is human reps working with AI assistants. Not being replaced by AI. Our assistants achieve that goal by taking care of busywork so you can focus on the strategic, human side of sales.

🚀 How Instabug 2x'd Meetings Booked with Nooks + Apollo.io! 🚀 When Chase Langley stepped in as Director of Biz Dev at Instabug, he knew the team’s biggest pain points were low connect rates and an inefficient dialer. Instabug had a great product, but getting it into the right hands was a challenge. Enter: Nooks + Apollo.io—the winning combo that transformed Instabug's outbound process. Here’s how it went down: 🔹 Boosted Call Efficiency: With Nooks’ AI-powered dialer, Instabug’s reps ramped up to 100 dials/hour, targeting peak times like 8 AM, 11 AM, and 4 PM. Reps could even bump missed calls to the top of the list, ensuring no lead slipped through the cracks. 🔹 High-Quality Data: Using Apollo’s mobile data, Instabug’s bounce rate dropped, and connect rates surged from 5.5% to 8%—some reps even hit 12%! Apollo’s 65+ filters let them segment leads precisely, making every call more relevant. 🔹 Better Conversations, More Meetings: With Nooks’ “Smart Lists” and talk track features, reps had hyper-personalized conversations. Plus, the battle-cards and feedback tools helped refine their approach, resulting in better interactions and a stronger pipeline. Results that Speak Volumes: ✅ Cold call volume 2x’d ✅ Connect rates soared from 5.5% to 8%, with some reps hitting 12% ✅ Meetings booked rate set to double quarter over quarter ✅ 100% of BDRs now meet weekly call goals (up from 70%) As Chase says, “Combining high-quality data with a tool that doubles conversations has been a game changer. We’ve gone from chasing leads to having meaningful conversations with the right people.” Want the full story on Instabug’s success? Link in the comments 🔗

Money is in the follow ups! 🤑 But do you have a method for approaching those critical follow up calls? Carlos Salazar's favorite line when following up with prospects is, “You forgot about me, and I don’t blame you!” It’s a lighthearted way to break the ice and remind them of our previous conversation. If you can connect the new conversation back to your previous call, even better! For example, you might say, “We spoke back in September about XYZ, and you mentioned that this would be the best time to pick things back up because of your budget talks.” It’s all about rekindling the conversation rather than diving straight into a sales pitch. What’s your go-to approach for follow-ups? Let’s share some strategies in the comments! 👇

Hey LinkedIn! 👋 It’s me, Lex Keaton (they/them), or some may remember me as "The Lexecutioner" from the Nooks Cold Call Competitions, where I got first-hand experience using the parallel dialer. As an Account Executive, I think it’s still important for reps to take full control of their pipeline, and that means picking up the phones themselves and making a few cold calls. 3 Fun Facts about Me: • I was named after THE Michael Jordan (My middle name is Jordan)    • I’m a Southern queer navigating the world of tech sales—because being yourself always pay$ off!    • I’ve helped companies build better sales teams and stronger DEIB practices. Why choose? You can do both!   My Favorite Thing About Nooks: Nooks empowers me to connect with so many more people while growing my pipeline—without spending hours on the phone. It lets me catch up on my daily activities and focus on the most important details in my proposals and discovery calls. Ever wonder how SaaS tech sales can help shape more inclusive workplaces?

What's the best way to get new SDRs up to speed cold calling? It's all about combining real world experience with Nooks' state of the art AI training bot. Before implementing Nooks, the reps on Austin Owens' team needed a month of training before going live on the phones. But with the power of AI training that time was cut in half! Check out this clip to learn about how Austin incorporates the bot into sales onboarding at isolved! If you want to give the bot a try, check out the link in the comments!
