Sybill

Want me to show you more things Sybill can do?

AEs spend too much time in copy-and-paste purgatory. Moving deal information from transcripts to ChatGPT to emails and everywhere in-between. Tomorrow we're dropping something to fix that 👁️ 👁️

WELCOME TO COPY-AND-PASTE HELL. Zoom, HubSpot, Gmail, Google Docs, Slack… repeat until burnout. Every sales rep knows the feeling: You wrap up a call and suddenly you’re juggling 10 tabs, pasting notes into HubSpot, firing off a follow-up in Gmail, double-checking details in Google Docs, and pinging your team on Slack. By the time you’ve stitched it all together, the moment (and momentum) is gone. That’s why we built Sybill. No more copy-and-paste hell. No more scattered tools. Sybill captures your notes, drafts your follow-ups, and tracks customer sentiment in one place.

🎉 Sybill turns 5 today! 🎉 What matters most to us isn’t the milestone itself, it’s every single person who has found Sybill valuable along the way. 💙 Your trust, feedback, and support are what make this journey worth it. We’re so grateful for you. Here’s to the community that makes Sybill what it is 🥳

Today is Sybill's 5th birthday. Dec 25th, 2022 was almost our last day alive. 5 years ago today, we launched Sybill with a dream: build a "mind reader" for Zoom calls. The brutal truth? For the first 2+ years, we screwed up. Badly. • We chose PLG for a market that didn't exist yet • We spent 24 months building tech • We built for perfection instead of product-market fit By Dec 2022, we were dying. We had 3 months of runway, and had to shut down our India office. I had spent 8 months in fundraising hell with 0 term sheets, and our investors felt it was time to call it quits. They helped us line up 3 acqui-hire options. Then, 3 things happened in 10 days that changed everything: 1. The offers made me realize something: I didn't want to exit. I wanted to build companies for life. It was a moment of extreme clarity for me. 2. ChatGPT launched Nov 30th. My team saw it and went absolutely insane. We shipped an MVP of AI meeting summaries by Dec 10th. Users tested it, and they loved it. We grew revenue by 40% in Jan alone. 3. On Dec 26th, 5 AM, as I was returning from a late-night party in Vegas, I received an email from Sri Peddu with a termsheet. Out of nowhere. At 5 AM. On December 26th. The hardest part about startups isn't the failure - it's not knowing how close you are to success. What looked like the end was actually the beginning. Had we taken that acqui-hire, we'd have missed the AI wave by 10 days. Had we quit in Dec, we'd never have seen what Jan could bring. 5 years later, to the day, Sybill processes millions of sales conversations. We've helped thousands of reps make more money. P.S. - If you're in that dark place right now, this post is for you. Sometimes you have to maintain faith, trust the process and keep pushing forward.

A question we get a lot is "Do I need to connect my CRM to start using Sybill?" The short answer? Nope. The medium answer? The more data Sybill has, the smarter it gets. The fuller answer? 👇

If work apps could talk

What separates the AEs who hit quota from the rest? Time. AEs who win are the ones who at any given moment are spending their time on their highest value activities. And then they practice that kind of focus over and over again. They own their time. They're not knee deep in admin tasks, and they're definitely not spending time digging through their notes and transcripts to fill their CRM.

STOP WASTING TIME ON THE STUFF THAT DOESN’T MOVE DEALS FORWARD. Every rep knows the pain: 👉 Scrambling to take notes during calls 👉 Forgetting key details right after the demo 👉 Spending hours updating the CRM instead of selling That’s why they use tools that handle the busywork for them, so they can stay focused on closing.

The fact that I did in fact convince them for this 😅
