  1. Have you been using AI notetakers with specific prompts to analyze sales calls? I'm looking to gather customer insights and identify trends that can inform our product and go-to-market strategy. If you have, I'd love to hear about your process and the tools you're using.

I'm open to other processes for collecting insights from sales calls and would love to hear what's working for you.

    In the age of AI, market dynamics shifts constantly and info gets outdated so quickly. For example, my team just did a competitive analysis by industry and realized we should only be looking at competitors that are prevalent in the last quarter.
