I'm here to encourage 💪
CEO of @close

[Steli Efti @Steli]

Just relax. You’re not behind on anything. No door is closing on you. You’re not missing out. You’re not too late.
Take a breath. Replenish. Refresh. Refocus. And you’ll discover that you can easily get ahead in the right state of mind.

@ChanningAllen Congrats sir!!

When Carl Jung said:

“Intellectualism is a common cover-up for fear of direct experience.”

[Institute of Art and Ideas @IAI_TV]

Is science about understanding the world, or just making predictions?

In this discussion with physicist Avshalom Elitzur, cognitive scientist Lera Boroditsky takes Wittgenstein’s example to demonstrate that our ability to predict something doesn’t necessarily mean we understand it, and this applies to reality at its most fundamental level.

@chandrxn Find something that exists that inspires you and chip in. If nothing inspires you, start something that would. Find others like this. Repeat until career is done.

CHLOE IS LIVE :)

I'm not going to spend this post trying to convince you she's amazing.

You should just try her.

Most demo videos are more impressive than the actual product.

We spent over a year making sure Chloe was the opposite.

More than 300 businesses put Chloe to work during beta. Starting today, you can too.

Chloe can call leads, qualify prospects, book meetings, answer questions, and keep your CRM up to date automatically.

But what excites me most isn't any individual feature.
It's the direction.

Close has always been about helping sales teams take action. Chloe is the next step in that journey.

Today that includes voice, research, enrichment, CRM updates, and Chat assistance.

Tomorrow it will be much more.
Let's go.

Your CEO should be strong.

Your CTO should be wise.

Your COO should be wicked, cunning, of mysterious origins, fluent in the dark arts, blurry in pictures,

Most AI tools can answer questions.
What's more interesting is when they can actually do work.

Today, Close is part of OpenAI's launch of new role-specific plugins in Codex.

With Close in Codex, teams can research accounts, create leads, update records, build workflows, and more without leaving their AI workflow.

Good list

[Kyle Asay @KyleAsay_]

Ten SaaS sales realities I’ve learned the hard way:

1) If you only hear good news, you are losing the deal. All deals have risk. Champions share risk. No risk shared means no champion. No champion means you lose.

@ELTUCOSITO Dagh! Typo, thanks for the catch :) Chloe by Close!

[Steli Efti @Steli]

These quotes are what you live for as a founder :) "We spent four months building our own voice AI agents and integrating them with Close. Now that you showed us Chloe (our native voice ai agent) we're throwing it all away. Chloe is so much better! We're pumped!

[Steli Efti @Steli]

@TyerlieOF I'm surprised that outbound would even work at all with voice Ai agents. it's such a tough thing to make work (even with humans). what type of prospect are we talking about?

[Steli Efti @Steli]

Who has messed around with voice agents for sales? Results?

[Steli Efti @Steli]

@doooyle we spent half a year tooling this as a native voice agent in Close :) it's gotten very very good (if I may say so). But it only works if you use Close as your CRM. Let me know if you ever want to play with it and give it a spin and I'll set you up!
