Transforming Sales: Attention's Role in Gladia's Productivity Surge

As the Head of Sales at Gladia, an AI audio infrastructure startup, Constant Dacbert was on the hunt for a tool that could streamline his team's workflow and give them a competitive edge. After evaluating options like Gong and Modjo, Constant found the solution he was looking for in Attention.

Gladia provides AI models for transcribing audio and performing intelligence processes like translation, summarization, and data extraction. The company serves over 100,000 users and 800 companies globally across various industries. With an expanding sales team, Constant was looking for a way to enhance productivity, improve deal analysis, and provide better coaching to his reps.

Enter Attention, the "all-in-one sales tool" that Constant says has "revolutionized" his team's workflow. By integrating seamlessly with Gladia's Salesforce CRM, Attention has automated numerous low-value tasks, unlocked key insights from customer conversations, and empowered Constant's team to focus on high-impact selling activities.

Eliminating 90% of Low-Value Tasks

One of Attention's biggest impacts has been its ability to eliminate time-consuming administrative work for Gladia's sales reps. Constant estimates the tool has removed approximately 90% of low-value tasks, freeing up his team to be more productive.

"Attention is like having a supercharged assistant for every rep on my team," Constant explains.

"We've eliminated so many mundane chores that used to bog us down, allowing our reps to concentrate on what really matters - closing deals."

Key time-saving features include automated call transcription, CRM data entry, and follow-up email generation. Attention's AI-powered analysis also extracts critical information like use cases, pain points, and associated metrics, eliminating the need for manual note-taking and MEDDIC analysis.

"The ease of onboarding with Attention was incredible," Constant shares. "From the very first call, our reps were seeing value. It's rare to find a tool that delivers such immediate impact."

Boosting Productivity and Streamlining Opportunity Management

By freeing up his team from low-value tasks, Constant has seen a significant boost in overall productivity. Attention has saved Gladia's sales reps an estimated 60% of their time when it comes to opportunity management.

"Attention has transformed our CRM from a chore into a powerhouse," Constant says.

"The automated MEDDIC analysis and Salesforce integration have given us insights we never thought possible."

With Attention automatically populating Salesforce with call transcripts and key deal information, Gladia's reps no longer have to waste time manually updating the CRM. This not only improves data accuracy but also ensures the sales team has immediate access to critical insights needed for effective follow-ups.

"As a sales leader, Attention has been a dream come true," Constant enthuses.

"It's not just a tool; it's like having an extra team member dedicated to making every rep more effective."

Driving Higher Conversion Rates

Attention's impact on Gladia's sales performance has been nothing short of transformative. The tool has helped the company significantly improve its conversion rates, particularly in moving prospects from the qualified opportunity stage to product testing.

"The impact on our sales process has been phenomenal," Constant says.

"Attention has improved our conversion rates in a way we never thought possible. It's like we've unlocked a new level of sales efficiency."

By providing deeper deal insights through accurate call transcription and analysis, Attention has empowered Gladia's team to have more meaningful, value-driven conversations with prospects. The tool's ability to extract specific use cases, pain points, and associated metrics has enabled reps to tailor their solutions and demonstrate clear business impact.

"Attention has redefined what it means to be a productive sales rep," Constant explains.

"It's not just about working harder; it's about working smarter. And Attention makes us all smarter sellers."

Enhancing Coaching and Training

As the Head of Sales, Constant has also leveraged Attention to improve coaching and training for his team. By recording and analyzing sales calls, he can provide targeted feedback to help his reps continuously improve their skills.

"Attention has transformed our coaching capabilities," Constant shares.

"I can now pinpoint areas for improvement and give my team the specific guidance they need to excel."

This focus on ongoing development has fostered a culture of continuous learning at Gladia. Reps are able to learn from each other's successes and challenges, further enhancing the team's overall sales effectiveness.

"Attention serves as a crucial enabler for onboarding new sales team members as well," Constant notes.

"It provides them with the tools and insights needed to ramp up quickly and contribute to our goals."

Seamless CRM Integration

A key factor in Attention's success at Gladia has been its tight integration with the company's Salesforce CRM. By automatically populating the CRM with call transcripts, MEDDIC analysis, and other key deal data, Attention has eliminated numerous manual tasks and improved data accuracy.

"Attention connects well with Salesforce, our CRM, allowing for accurate and automated data entry," Constant explains.
