BuildBetter transforms your sales conversations into a strategic advantage. By automatically capturing and analyzing every customer interaction, you’ll spot buying signals, identify risks, and know exactly when and how to engage stakeholders to close deals faster.

​
Why Deal Intelligence Matters

Modern B2B sales involves multiple stakeholders, lengthy cycles, and complex decision-making. Without proper intelligence:
  • 🚨 57% of deals stall due to missed signals or poor follow-up
  • 📉 Deal slippage occurs when risks aren’t identified early
  • 🎯 Win rates suffer from incomplete stakeholder mapping
  • ⏰ Sales cycles extend without clear next steps
BuildBetter solves these challenges by turning every conversation into actionable intelligence.

Expert Tips

The 24-Hour Rule: Always follow up within 24 hours of a call with a summary and clear next steps. Use document templates to make this effortless.
Signal Stacking: Look for multiple positive signals in one call (budget + timeline + urgency) as a strong closing indicator. Create a workflow to alert you when this occurs.
The Pre-Call Ritual: Before every call, ask the AI Assistant: “What should I know about [Company] based on all previous interactions?” Never go in cold.
Competitive Judo: When competitors are mentioned, use it as an opportunity. Query: “What specific features has [Company] asked about that [Competitor] doesn’t offer?”

​
Common Pitfalls to Avoid

Don’t overwhelm buyers with every insight. Be selective and share only what advances the deal.
Don’t ignore negative signals. Address concerns immediately rather than hoping they go away.
Don’t forget the human touch. BuildBetter provides intelligence, but relationships close deals.
