SpearFysh’s Note Taking App Helps Salespeople Stay Organized

By Julie Muhn (@julieschicktanz) Posted on September 10, 2013
Categories: FinovateFall 2013, SpearFysh

This post is part of our live coverage of FinovateFall 2013.

Afterwards, SpearFysh demonstrated how its app can improve the note-taking experience during and after sales calls.

“Our Intelligent Note-Taking App helps a salesperson execute a pre-loaded agenda of a sales call that they see on the tablet screen during note-taking. In addition, it allows the salesperson to take notes, capture audio of the conversation, and tag critical data for 100% recall of the “voice of the customer” and sales process analytics.

Our Web App enables interaction sharing with everyone at the organization that is involved in the sales process. Sales call data and the “voice of the customer” is converted from speech to text, indexed, and mined for sales intelligence to improve coaching and executive decision-making.”

Product Launch: May 2013

Metrics: $3.18M raised to date, 12 FTE, pre-revenue

Product distribution strategy: Direct to Business (B2B)

HQ: Twinsburg, OH

Founded: May 2011

Website: spearfysh.com

Presenting Marc Miller (CEO) and Greg Pacholski (President)

The full demo video will be available at finovate.com in mid-September.
