Overview

According to a McKinsey Report, Sales Reps spend 20% of their time just searching for the right information.

Imagine how many more deals your organization can win if they spend that time selling?

Guru ensures your sales team has expert-verified answers to anything that may come up in a sales cycle. Answers to product questions, competitive positioning, case studies, and objection handling are now built right into your web browser and put in front of the team when they need it.

Guru 'Context' takes the idea of having knowledge right in your workflow one step further. With Guru Context enabled, your team will see the relevant knowledge or assets you want them to see based on the URL or apps they are working in.

As an example, in Salesforce as a Sales Rep configures an opportunity and indicates fields like industry or competitor, Guru will assemble the case studies and competitor positioning you want your reps to use. No more digging around for information and wondering if it’s right, or shoulder tapping experts to ask them the same question again. (A short demo video is found here)

It's like Google Now, but for your team's knowledge.
