Sales in the challenging economic times are starting to look very different.

Deals need more calls and email exchanges to close. Close rates have dropped. Building a pipeline is hard. The need for more activity has never been starker before.

This is ushering in an “age of efficiency” in sales. Sam Jacobs expressed this on LinkedIn recently:

Sounds unreal? Such models of high close rates, higher quotas, and leaner/meaner times in a hard economic climate seem puzzling, don’t they?

Except, they aren’t. We are in the age of AI, and sales tools are changing the landscape of B2B sales at warp speed. Each seller is expected to increase their efficiency, sometimes even by 50% or 100% more than before.

To increase sales, sellers need to reach more potential customers and improve their success rate in closing deals. And that’s possible only with automations that take away all the admin work from a seller’s life, and further simplify everything else that doesn’t involve meeting prospects 1 on 1.

And it all starts with automating the processes in and around those one-on-one meetings.

Automatic note-taking and follow-ups. Automatic entry of notes into the CRM after every customer interaction. Suggested emails to move the deals forward. And more.

And this is exactly what we decided to solve with Sybill back in December 2022.

And that's the story of how Magic Summary was born.

The Idea Behind Magic Summaries - Empowering Sales Teams with Time and Transparency

Giving Sales Pros the Gift of Time: 45 minutes a day, 5 days a week

One of the primary objectives of Sybill’s Magic Summaries is to give sales reps the gift of time. In the world of sales where everything changes in minutes, time is often the most valuable and yet the most lacking resource.

Magic Summary automates tasks like meeting notes, follow-up emails, and CRM updates. This allows sales professionals to concentrate on important aspects of their job: building relationships and closing deals.

But unlike hordes of AI call summarizers out there, Magic Summary introduces emotional intelligence to these automated processes. The summaries and follow-up emails consider what prospects say on calls but also, and often more importantly, what they don’t say.

And that’s how magic happens.

Unprecedented Transparency in the Sales Processes

During tough times, it is important for sales managers and teams to have transparency. They cannot afford to overlook the details of what is truly happening with their deals.

Magic Summary levels up the transparency for every sales call, helping sales pros and sales leaders identify opportunities to act and areas of improvement.

By combining behavioral intelligence with generative AI, Magic Summary allows sales teams to stay on the same page, act swiftly and effectively, optimize their sales strategies, and drive better results.

Enhanced Decision-Making for Sales Leaders

Magic Summary is designed to support sales leaders in making informed, data-driven decisions and forecast with context and information based on real-world insights from sales calls.

By getting automated access to a clear, detailed overview of each sales call, sales leaders can easily identify patterns, trends, and areas where their teams can improve.

This level of insight is invaluable for sales forecasting, coaching, performance management, and resource allocation.

Streamlining Sales Workflows for Maximum Efficiency

Efficiency is crucial in a competitive sales environment, not just now but well beyond the downturn. Magic Summary is committed to making it happen by helping sales teams streamline their workflows.

Magic Summary automates routine tasks like CRM updates and offers insights using conversational and emotional intelligence. This lets users concentrate on key activities such as building rapport, retaining customers, and fully engaging in sales interactions without note-taking distractions. Ultimately, it frees up time, energy, and motivation for what matters most: closing deals more effectively.

By prioritizing time, transparency, enhanced decision-making, and streamlined workflows, Magic Summary empowers sales teams to achieve better results and drive success. It:

• Acts as a wisdom whisperer, retaining and distributing context on sales relationships, best behaviors, and deal progress
• Writes emails, updates CRM, and shares insights with multiple teams and individuals
• Eliminates the need for multiple tools with automated, always-on insights and action
• Understands emotions and conversations to identify deal blockers, champions, and more
• Identifies coachable moments for leaders at both granular and team levels
• Keeps the leader informed, rep engaged, and ultimately helps close more deals

All while everyone gets to go home or back to Netflix early. No time-sinks.
