Speaking about Outlay, Laxman Papineni, Co-founder & CEO of Outplay, in a statement said,
“A 2017 study showed that 57 percent of sales reps miss their quotas. Sales reps are less effective and efficient when they use just a CRM or multiple tools to get their job done. Our Outplay platform is easy to use, set up, configure and roll out across sales teams, helping sales leaders to get immediate insights into the business. This saves both time and costs for the companies who use it,”
“We’re a new challenger brand to the sales engagement sector and are confident that our next-generation technology will allow sales leaders to generate granular, insightful reports and truly stay connected to prospective customers.”
