Account Executive, Enterprise

What is Nooks?

Nooks is a platform transforming sales reps from manual laborers to scientists. With today’s technology, sales reps shouldn’t need to manually write hundreds of emails, research hundreds of websites / s, and make hundreds of calls. They should instead focus on the parts of their job that actually require people - talking to customers, being creative, and problem-solving. With a combination of AI tools, automation and real-time collaboration, Nooks can do the rest.

The problem

Sales pipeline is critical for growing companies. Many, especially B2B companies, have teams of sales / business development representatives (SDR / BDRs) or full-cycle account executives whose responsibility is to identify, contact, and qualify new potential customers. There are ~750,000 SDR / BDR’s in the US alone (e.g. Airtable , Brex , Databricks and many other tech companies have sizable SDR / BDR teams)

In their day-to-day, SDR / BDRs spend time on 3 main activities :

Prospecting & research - identify a list of potential customers using signals like industry, size, fundraising, headcount growth, new hires, job descriptions, etc.

Email & messaging - write messages to those contacts to convey the problem and pitch your product. The goal is for them to book a demo

Calling - Live phone conversations often have higher conversion than emails because they’re more personal, but there’s a lot more manual work involved

Much of the sales rep's job can be automated with today's technology : large language models, web scraping, automation, integrations, and more!
