Our take
Alongside the longstanding problems of identifying and closing sales, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) has long faced challenges with poorly integrated technology, which has inspired a flurry of companies targeting efficiency in the sector. Outreach is a sales execution platform that enables users to build more pipeline, proactively fix deal risks, and make the best decisions to advance their deals across every moment of the sales cycle.
Outreach is a leader in its category; delivering a comprehensive suite of sales tools, and generating AI-driven insights from a rich set of industry data. The company's focus on AI, which included the development of a ‘knowledge AI assistant’ for salespeople, is what allowed it to get ahead in the market. There are numerous competitors in the space, however Outreach has proved to command investor respect, having achieved Unicorn status in 2020.
Outreach has continued to display good growth, and has become a mission-critical part of the revenue stack for many customers - of which it boasts over 5000 globally. Notable names served by the company include Siemens, Twilio, and zoom.
