3. Find new products you can actually benefit from:

So, you'll have fewer people reaching out to you over and over again but the ones that do reach out will be serious about helping you out.

4. Boost Your Sales Game:

If you’re in sales or if you're a founder, Pitchfire helps you get quicker responses from prospects and potential customers. They’re more likely to respond because they get compensated for their time. This increases your chances of booking meetings and closing deals. Currently, sellers using Pitchfire enjoy a 60% response rate and book meetings 52% of the time! Even if the response you're getting is a no, you'll get a better understanding of your potential pipeline and have more knowledge into how you should sell or why you shouldn't sell into a certain company, so you waste less times on deals that aren't a fit or aren't ready.
