Key differentiators
Build a sales process that improves with the evidence your team generates. Spiky helps you understand buyer responses, identify effective behaviors and bring those behaviors into live conversations—with adoption and results visible to leadership.
Give reps guidance shaped by what works in your own deals. Whisper delivers contextual questions, objection-handling battlecards and playbook reminders without adding a meeting bot. Connect it with Signals to deploy approved behaviors across the team and track whether reps apply them when the relevant moment arrives.
Find the deals whose evidence does not support their stage, the buying roles nobody has reached and the forecast assumptions that deserve a closer look. Signals connects conversation evidence with pipeline outcomes, helping leaders prioritize interventions and identify behaviors associated with stronger performance.
A buyer’s words may sound encouraging while their tone or engagement changes. Pulse brings voice, language and available visual cues together, helping your team identify moments that deserve another question. Use that context to sharpen follow-ups, review objections and coach reps on how buyers responded.
Your team already captures valuable customer conversations in Otter. Connect them to Spiky Signals to identify behavioral patterns, investigate deal risks and uncover approaches associated with stronger outcomes. Keep your recording workflow and give leaders more evidence to decide where to act next.
