Cold Outreach
Internal CRM with AI for sales reps' cold outreach
AI visualization, not a real screenshot
About the project
Cold Outreach is an internal tool for sales reps that I am currently working on. The app pulls information about companies from public data sources and lets reps interactively discover new potential customers. For a company they pick, AI then fills an email template into pre-prepared slots based on a description of the company, so the rep does not start from a blank page. The app also works as a CRM: it records contacts and communication and tracks when an email was opened and whether the recipient replied, so reps can see who is worth following up with.
