The Challenge

The enterprise AE intelligence challenge

Enterprise AEs carry the most demanding quota in sales. Managing a portfolio of high-value accounts with six-figure to seven-figure deal sizes, navigating multi-stakeholder buying committees, and maintaining relevance across 12-24 month sales cycles requires a level of account knowledge that is almost impossible to maintain manually.

The research burden on enterprise AEs is immense. Preparing for a single executive meeting can take 60-90 minutes of combing through earnings calls, LinkedIn profiles, news articles, and annual reports. Multiply that by 20-30 accounts and dozens of stakeholders, and AEs are spending more time researching than selling. The result is missed signals, surface-level conversations, and deals that stall because reps cannot demonstrate deep account understanding.

Enterprise AEs also need to self-source an increasing share of their pipeline. Marketing-generated leads and SDR-sourced meetings are no longer sufficient to hit aggressive targets. But self-sourcing at the enterprise level requires the same deep account intelligence needed for deal execution — creating a compounding research burden that even the most disciplined AEs cannot sustain.

Customer Story

How Guild saves 30 minutes per account and 6+ hours weekly on research

The Challenge

Guild Education's strategic AEs managed portfolios of 6-10 accounts with deal sizes exceeding $20M and cycles spanning up to 24 months. Each account required continuous engagement with fresh, relevant insights — but manually researching earnings calls, press releases, and executive commentary consumed over 6 hours per week per AE.

The Solution

Salesmotion automated Guild's account research, saving 30 minutes per account and 6+ hours per week per AE. Automated earnings call alerts and weekly digests surfaced the insights that keep conversations meaningful throughout multi-year cycles — enabling reps to connect Guild's solutions to what is already publicly important to each customer.

It's not even just about saving time — it's about uncovering things we otherwise might not research. Salesmotion helps us connect Guild to what's already publicly important to the company.
