Director in Sales (1-10 employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I create a space in Perplexity, which is essentially a persona that describes my company and what I sell. I also upload collateral for what I sell. Then I query Perplexity with questions relative to prospects I am selling to, using their name, title, and the company they work for.

Pros

  • Research the company that my prospects work for.
  • Research background on my prospects.
  • Combine those two and come up with about one page on how to approach them based on the space (persona) I created.

Cons

  • Sometimes navigation is a little tricky.
  • I would appreciate a better delineation when asking questions about different prospects. Currently, I have to re-enter the space to create a separate question thread.
  • Maybe more suggestions on how to use it for what I am trying to accomplish.

Return on Investment

  • Better initial calls with prospects.
  • More in depth knowledge to create a conversation.
  • Have advanced some opportunities has a result of using Perplexity.
