1216: How AI-Powered Data Insights Are Transforming Sales
The customer journey is often misunderstood, and the effect on sales can be massive (Hubspot recently revealed that only 24.3% of salespeople exceeded their quota last year). In today's episode, I explore the impact of AI-powered customer data intelligence on enterprise sales productivity and performance.
In enterprise sales specifically, with its lengthy buy-cycle and maze of decision-makers, timing is everything. To gain a competitive edge, reps should engage with target prospects as soon as the customer journey begins, i.e., when internal key stakeholders realize that change is both inevitable and critical to the bottom line.
Regardless, enterprise sales reps need concrete data insights into their customer's actual problem, their level of urgency, and the financial case for change in advance of their first prospect engagement—as all subsequent decisions will flow from it. Arming reps with AI-powered customer intelligence is vital to elevating both productivity and performance.
According to Salesforce, teams are twice as likely to prioritize leads based on data analysis of "propensity to buy" rather than on intuition, and high-performing sales teams are 1.5 times more likely to base forecasts on data-driven insights.
The Databook Customer Intelligence Platform combines predictive intent data, real-time insights, and time-saving productivity tools to improve selling performance across the enterprise. Every sales rep that uses Databook, regardless of experience or skill set, can deliver the right pitch, for the right audience, at the right time--building true, sustainable customer value from the first conversation.
Databook's CEO, Anand Shah, developed an innovative platform that's utilized today by some of the world's leading companies that identify which accounts to prioritize, which buying groups have pain/urgency, and offers access to a hyper-personalized point of view for enterprise reps to engage the customer.
We talk about how AI-powered data insights are transforming sales by offering a crucial headstart on the customer journey.

1400-hr-tech-meet-topia-the-global
Topia is an HR tech company specializing in Global Talent Mobility, helping businesses deploy, manage, and engage employees anywhere in the world. The arrival of COVID and a shift to remote working is responsible for an increased need for the Topia tech platform. Many employees can now work from anywhere and everywhere. But it creates a series of challenges.
Steve Black, Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Topia, believes data is changing the world and wants to be part of it. I invited him onto the podcast to learn more about the story behind Topia. We also discuss the following: The massive demand from organizations struggling to monitor tax exposure and automate payroll withholdings. Why companies need a way to track newly remote workforces to optimize tax obligations, save up to 25%+ per year in local tax obligations, and mitigate the risk of penalties and audits that target distributed workforces.
The UK government’s controversial campaign to get workers back in the office. Steve doesn’t think the incentive is there and predicts we’ll see more companies going the way of Siemens—working remotely 2-3 days a week forever; impact to local economies (those that rely on foot traffic like retail) will be big.
Controversial “employee tracking.” People are traveling for the weekend and being required to tell HR where they went. Despite many believing this is a violation of privacy, Steve argues companies need this information for the safety of all employees as we look at COVID-19 hot zones.

IBM recently announced its fourth-quarter 2021 earnings results, which showcased significant growth in automation software, with revenue up 15 percent. Dinesh Nirmal, General Manager, of IBM Automation joins me on the Tech Talk Daily Podcast to discuss IBM's plans to accelerate automation adoption in 2022,
We also discuss the following three key industry challenges and trends that businesses are facing today: Skills gap: Automation is helping close the skills gap by solving the shortage of data scientists and developers that the industry is currently experiencing. For example, new automation tools like Watson Orchestrate provide workers access to their own interactive AI to help them perform both mundane and mission-critical tasks faster – everything from scheduling meetings and procuring approvals to interacting with business systems and preparing proposals.
Complexity of legacy systems: Many challenges arise for enterprises when dealing with the complexity of legacy systems. Instead of having to deal with the number of workloads, databases, platforms, storage systems, security models, and so on, businesses are looking for a one-stop-shop for automation across business automation and IT automation.
Increasing digitization, fast: Automation has become the go-to solution to speed up the level of digitization in order to continue to grow at a competitive pace. By providing clients with a one-stop-shop for AI-powered automation powered by recent acquisitions of Turbonomic, MyInvenio, WDG Automation and Instana, IBM has created an easy pathway for our customers to embrace automation, making it one of the most beneficial technologies for businesses today on an industry-wide level.

1009-answering-unsolved-challenges-in
Francisco Webber is co-founder and CEO of Cortical.io and inventor of the company’s proprietary Retina technology. This technology applies the principles of cerebral processing to machine learning and natural language understanding (NLU) to solve real-world use cases related to big text data. Cortical.io 2 solutions are based on the actual meaning of text, rather than on statistical occurrences.
Francisco’s interest in information technology developed during his medical studies, when he was involved in medical data processing. Over the course of two decades, he explored search engine technologies and documentation systems in various contexts but became increasingly frustrated with the limitations of state-of-the-art statistical methods.
Francisco recognized that the brain was the only high-performing system when it came to natural language understanding. While closely following developments in neuroscience, he formulated his theory of Semantic Folding, which models how the brain processes language data. In 2011, he co-founded Cortical.io to apply the principles of cerebral processing to machine learning and text processing and solve real-world use cases related to big data.
Cortical.io provides natural language understanding (NLU) solutions that enable large enterprises to automate the extraction, monitoring, and analysis of key information from any kind of text data. By understanding the meaning of text, Cortical.io Retina software reduces the time and effort it takes to complete business-critical data search and review processes.
Cortical.io solutions can be quickly trained without supervision in the specialized vocabulary of any business domain and in multiple languages. I learn how their enterprise-grade technology is implemented at multiple Fortune 100 businesses, covering a wide spectrum of use cases.
Francisco Webber joins me on my daily tech podcast and talks about how their unique approach is inspired by the latest findings on the way the brain processes information. It helps businesses solve many open NLU challenges like meaning-based filtering of terabytes of unstructured text data, real-time topic detection in social media, or semantic search over millions of documents across languages.

ForgeRock is on a mission to transform the way organizations approach identity and access management. They are enabling businesses to deliver trusted digital relationships that improve the personalized customer experience and, ultimately, drive greater value.
They make it happen with the best identity platform for securing anything, anywhere, on any device. Because at ForgeRock, they believe identity is the center of everything.
As we pass the first anniversary of GDPR, it presents an opportunity for business leaders to evaluate their privacy and consent strategy to ensure it treats consumer-controlled data sharing across cloud, mobile, and IoT sources as a business imperative and shifts innovation toward consumer trust.
Nick Caley, Vice President - Financial Services and Regulatory at ForgeRock joins me on my daily tech podcast to explore the successes and challenges one year after GDPR went into effect. Nick shares his insights on how to address top privacy business challenges by:
Empowering end-users with rich consent and privacy capabilities Breaking down identity silos and to get to a single view of and for the customer Keeping customer data accurate and protected We also talk about GDPR from the consumers perspective where rather than experiencing a new era of data transparency, the most noticeable impact of the new regulation has been a significant worsening in their internet experience. It seems there is still a great deal of work to be done before GDPR truly fulfills its primary goal of putting users back in control of their personal data.

In light of the recent Log4Shell vulnerability that has been dominating the headlines, I invited Asad Ali, Senior Director, Global Centre of Excellence at Dynatrace to join me on Tech Talks Daily. We talk about the longer-term impact this vulnerability will have on the way organizations handle their cybersecurity practices and the next steps they can take in the more immediate term. Some organizations may not even know they are affected or which instances of the vulnerability are most urgent to address. For example, not all cases will be present in applications exposed to public networks and reveal sensitive data to malicious attackers. We discuss why the dynamic and complex nature of today’s cloud environments has broken traditional approaches to application security. We also talk about how an AI-driven approach can help dramatically speed up risk and impact analysis of the vulnerability by automatically and continuously identifying and prioritizing instances that access critical databases or file systems in the environment. Finally, we talk about what to expect from Dynatrace Perform in February.
