Otta's take
Sam Franklin
CEO of Otta
Account executives can often get bogged down with mundane daily tasks when all they really want to focus on is their next sale. Groove seeks to make work more enjoyable, using technology to find a better way of solving seller's problems.
It's a sales engagement platform that improves productivity by automating time-consuming tasks, such as email logging, outbound call logging, activity capture, and scheduling meetings. By automating non-sales activities, users can excel at advancing customer relationships and generating more revenue. In addition, the platform integrates with Salesforce, a contributing factor in it being used by thousands of users in sales teams at large companies such as Google and Capital One.
With rivals such as SalesLoft and Outreach, Groove is not alone in the space, but the sheer size of the expanding sales enablement platform market should nonetheless give it space to grow. Having being awarded numerous accolades, including making the 2022 Deloitte Technology Fast 500™ list, the company is clearly doing something right, and will be want to watch as it further develops.
