🎉We just raised our $43M Series B, led by Kleiner Perkins. 🎉 It’s a big day for Nooks. And an even bigger day for sales teams everywhere. Here’s why: We’re using that investment to double-down on our mission to humanize sales pipeline generation. And to announce our AI Sales Assistant Platform (ASAP). The world’s fastest-growing companies already use our AI Dialing Assistant to generate over 70% of their pipeline. Now, we’re adding two new assistants to the platform: ✅ The AI Coaching Assistant with automated scorecards and AI roleplay to cut onboarding time by 50% and more ✅ The AI Prospecting Assistant with account research, list building, and email writing to quickly identify and engage your best prospects These assistants integrate and reinforce each other. Helping your teams generate 2-3x more pipeline fast. —- At Nooks, we believe the future is human reps working with AI assistants. Not being replaced by AI. Our assistants achieve that goal by taking care of busywork so you can focus on the strategic, human side of sales.

Wim Hof Breathing for Cold Callers? Yep, It Works. Charles Needham recently shared a game-changing tip for staying calm and collected on cold calls: Wim Hof breathing. Before diving into call sessions, he takes a few minutes to do intentional breathing exercises, and the results are impressive—more patience, sharper focus, and a sense of calm. Anyone who cold calls knows how fast the conversation can feel when you are trying to hear the prospect while planning your response. Breathing exercises are a way to slow down the moment, helping you to feel like you have more time to think and respond thoughtfully, rather than just reacting. If you’re in sales and finding that calls feel too fast, consider giving it a try. Sometimes, all you need is a few deep breaths to transform your approach. ðŸ§˜â™‚ï¸ #coldcalltips #coldcalltraining #sdr

How do you keep a strong mindset despite hearing a lot of "no" during cold calls? For Carlos Salazar it's about reframing success in terms of making the calls you need to make, rather than just waiting to hear the next "yes." The reality is you might have to get through dozens of prospects before landing on one that's a good fit. That's why resilience isn’t just about the calls that land; it’s about every dial, every moment you refuse to quit! Every call truly counts whether you win the meeting or not 🔥
