Ex-Salesforce architect unites CRM intel with data to create ultimate B2B sales prospecting pathway at OneShot.ai

OneShot.ai

Sales and RevOps startup OneShot.ai today announced the launch of an autonomous prospecting platform powered by artificial intelligence, the first end-to-end lead prospecting solution poised to disrupt the B2B sales industry. OneShot.ai was founded by Salesforce veteran Peda Pola and experienced sales leader Gautam Rishi. The platform uses AI to accelerate every step of the prospecting process. It helps teams identify potential customers by analyzing external intent signals alongside internal CRM and sales engagement data to determine patterns and create a detailed ideal customer profile (ICP). It then sources ICP accounts and contacts, conducts in-depth research on target accounts and contacts, produces highly personalized messaging, and reaches out to prospective customers across multiple channels on an optimal cadence using generative ai voice, text, video, and images. Machine learning algorithms continually monitor performance data and automatically optimize campaigns, and warm leads are delivered directly to the sales team. “The current state of modern outbound sales is broken,” says Peda Pola, co-founder and CTO at OneShot.ai. “The ‘spray-and-pray’ approach popularized by email sequencing tools has rendered what was once a highly reliable method to generate new business opportunities effectively useless. Yet companies are still spending a fortune on these tools and promoting these practices.” OneShot.ai takes prospecting back to first principles. Peda Pola added: “Traditional outbound sales relies too heavily on guesswork and not enough on data,” he says. “OneShot.ai helps sales teams take a more rational, scientific, and data-driven approach to prospecting. We use advanced machine learning techniques to process huge amounts of data so teams can make more informed decisions. This also frees salespeople from tedious manual work, which allows them to spend more time developing deeper connections with potential customers.” More than a decade at Salesforce provided Peda Pola with firsthand experience of the challenges of the B2B sales industry, and also the opportunities AI advancements have unlocked. “Every B2B sales team has a CRM,” says Peda Pola. “They’re all sitting on enormous datasets. Yet hardly any of them are tapping into the full potential of this goldmine of customer information. OneShot.ai automatically transforms the data at every team’s fingertips into real business opportunities.” The response to OneShot.ai’s meteoric rise has already prompted a surge of interest from customers and investors. “Over reliance on automation and the predictable revenue model ruined the effectiveness of outbound sales”, says Gautam Rishi, co-founder of OneShot.ai. “High costs and poor results caused B2B sales teams to give up on what is still a great strategy for revenue growth. The demand for OneShot.ai is astronomical not only because we empower reps to bring the human touch back to prospecting, but also because companies no longer need a hugely expensive tech stack to run outbound. In the current landscape of smaller teams and limited venture funding, teams need to do what they can with the limited resources and budget they have. Our customers are removing their legacy sales tech and going all in on OneShot.ai.” “OneShot.ai isn’t just focused on addressing a narrow problem, they’re creating a salesperson’s personal AI-powered prospecting assistant,” says Moritz Zimmermann, general partner at prominent venture capital fund 42CAP. “I’ve personally experienced the challenge of growing and scaling a sales team. The way we do outbound is due for disruption, and OneShot.ai—led by founders with both deep technical know-how and extensive enterprise sales experience—is well positioned to provide the solution.” As the technology industry continues to experience disruptions, OneShot.ai’s AI-Powered Autonomous Prospecting takes a unique stance to help revenue teams hit their targets. “B2B sales is changing”, says Peda Pola. “AI has unlocked the ability for sales teams to deliver, at scale, the thoughtful and personalized approach that modern buyers expect. OneShot.ai eliminates the time consuming manual tasks holding salespeople back, enabling them to do more with less. In a climate of economic uncertainty, this is a top priority for every company.” About OneShot.ai OneShot.ai is the autonomous prospecting platform that uses advanced machine learning and generative AI technology to put prospecting on autopilot. Our intelligent platform removes the tedious administrative work of researching prospects, finding leads, creating personalized messaging at scale, and the experimentation required for continuous improvement, allowing salespeople to focus their time on revenue-generating activities.

PathAI Announces Launch of AIM-TumorCellularity (AIM-TC), an AI-Based Tumor Cellularity Assessment Product to Inform Advanced Molecular Testing

PathAI

PathAI, a global leader in AI-powered pathology, today announced the launch of AIM-TumorCellularity (AIM-TC), the latest algorithm product available for use by laboratories utilizing the AISight Image Management System (IMS). 1 AIM-TC enables automated assessment of tumor cellularity, or tumor fraction, which is utilized to determine if there is sufficient tumor tissue to support advanced next generation sequencing (NGS) testing. Insufficient tumor DNA is a common failure mode in comprehensive genomic profiling and results in the destruction of precious tissue without molecular biomarker information to inform care decisions. AIM-TC solves for this by running on a standard hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) whole slide image and can automatically determine the tumor area and percentage of tumor nuclei. “As a molecular pathologist myself, I know how important accurate tumor cellularity assessment is. Many laboratories struggle with high NGS failure rates due to insufficient tumor content in the sample, leading to wasted time and expense.” said Andy Beck M.D. Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of PathAI. “Because of this, it’s become standard practice for pathologists to manually assess tumor fraction. We now have the opportunity to automate this step with AI, allowing pathologists to focus on other tasks.” Tumor cellularity assessment can be time consuming and onerous, particularly when the tumor content is low. 2,3 For high volume laboratories, AIM-TC can reduce the amount of pathologist time spent on tumor cellularity assessments while also providing standardized, quantitative metrics to support more accurate determination of the required tissue inputs. “AIM-TC is a great example of how AI can augment the pathology laboratory and eliminate routine, stressful and time-consuming activities, allowing pathologists to focus on what they do best,” said Tobias Kull, PhD., bioinformatician in the Molecular Pathology Unit of University Hospital Zurich. “We expect that if implemented widely in our practice, AIM-TC can save hundreds of hours of pathologist time that can instead be used for case sign-off and patient care.” AIM-TC is currently available in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and will be launched in 12 additional tumor types (including breast cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and urothelial carcinoma) in the coming months. To learn more about AISight, PathAI’s Image Management System, or AIM-TC, please visit our website, request a meeting with our team, or visit us at PathVisions in Orlando, Florida (Booth #206; October 29-31, 2023). 1 AIM Tumor Cellularity and AISight are Research Use Only.

Sienna Resources Gets License To Drill At Its Elko Lithium Project As Demand For Lithium Grows

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Investors looking at metals beyond gold and silver may be looking at lithium. It's a key ingredient to produce electric vehicles, a market that seems set to take off. In 2020, demand for global lithium reached 292,000 metric tons, and by 2030, it is forecast to hit 2.5 million metric tons. That growing demand is good news for Sienna Resources Inc. (OTCMKTS: SNNAF), the mining company focused on exploring for and developing high-grade deposits in politically stable, environmentally responsible and ethical mining jurisdictions. It just received approval from the Bureau of Land Management to drill up to five initial locations in its Elko Lithium Project in Nevada, which it recently acquired. Elko County Project Holds Promise The project, in Elko County, Nevada, consists of about 1,200 contiguous acres directly bordering the Surge Battery Metals Inc. (OTCMKTS: NILIF) Nevada North Lithium Project. Surge’s summer drilling program returned multiple zones of high values ranging from 1,000 parts per million to 8,070 parts per million lithium – the highest grades for exploration for the Nevada North Lithium Project. While the same results for Sienna’s project can’t be guaranteed, it is promising for the company’s business – and potentially its shareholders. “We are very excited about this area, especially in light of the fantastic lithium results being drilled by our neighbor, Surge Battery Metals,” said Jason Gigliotti, President of Sienna. “This area is shaping up to be one of the most exciting lithium addresses in North America and we are very pleased to be right in the heart of it with a planned work program to commence as soon as possible.” Surge Battery Metals’ stock has traded from a year low of $0.045 to a recent high of $1.15 as of this writing, aided by the results of its summer drilling program. Nevada Rich In Lithium As it stands, Nevada has one of the highest lithium production potentials in the country. It's home to America's only current lithium production and one of the U.S.’s largest lithium deposits. Given its location, it's perfectly suited to supply demand in the U.S. and in Asia. It also helps that Nevada has mining-friendly regulations on the books and is in a stable political environment. Mining for lithium also has the backing of the U.S. government. The White House’s American Battery Materials Initiative is aimed at securing a reliable and sustainable supply of critical minerals used for power, electricity and EVs. Meanwhile, the Department of Energy is awarding $2.8 billion from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill to boost domestic manufacturing. EVs Getting Ready To Take Off The mining results and Sienna’s plan to commence drilling soon come as the market for electric vehicles is taking off. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA), the leading EV maker in the U.S., plans to produce 20 million EVs by 2030 and it's not the only vehicle manufacturer focused on EVs. Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F), General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM) and Stellantis NV (NYSE: STLA), among others, plan to sell only electrified cars and trucks by 2035. Land Holdings Sienna is also among the largest landholders in Clayton Valley, Nevada. In June it completed its purchase of Silver Peak South Lithium Project (SPSLP) located in Clayton Valley, Nevada, building on its Blue Clay Lithium Project. This created one large continuous block of approximately 4,700 acres. Clayton Valley is home to the only lithium brine basin in production in North America and is just a few miles from Tesla's Gigafactory outside of Reno, Nevada. Major players in this basin include Schlumberger NV (now named SLB) (NYSE: SLB) and Albemarle Corp. (NYSE: ALB)) with Albemarle currently producing in the basin. “In the deepest part of this basin in Clayton Valley, which is the only basin that produces lithium right now, are Albemarle which is the largest lithium company on earth, Schlumberger (now SLB) which is the largest oil services company on earth and is moving into lithium, and then tiny Sienna Resources trading around $0.05,” said Gigliotti. With approximatley $2 million in cash on hand, Sienna seems to have plenty of money for the current exploration plans and intends to be active on several fronts for the rest of the year. Gigliotti also confirmed that the company’s ”management is extremely optimistic about the future and looks forward to what will happen with boots on the ground on these projects.” This post contains sponsored content.

This Encrypted Messenger App Could Help Wall Street Avoid New Fines Amid SEC Crackdown On FINRA Violations

Benzinga

By Rachael Green, Benzinga In the latest wave of crackdowns to come from the SEC’s two-year investigation into Wall Street’s use of messaging apps, a new batch of Wall Street firms were recently hit with multimillion-dollar fines. Over the last two years, the agency has already fined other major Wall Street firms like Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Morgan Stanley for failure to maintain records of the work-related communications taking place in these apps. With this recent batch of penalties, the SEC will have levied over $2.5 billion in fines on Wall Street to date. To get ahead of the crackdown, companies will need to take steps to make sure all communications are secure, private and archived to comply with FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) regulations. Sekur Private Data Ltd. (OTCQX: SWISF) (CSE: SKUR) (FRA: GDT0) is offering an easy-to-use, secure and transparent solution in the form of its SekurMessenger app. The encrypted messaging app offers full privacy for users and multiple layers of data protection to keep communications as secure as possible – and with its addition of an encrypted message archiving feature for businesses, it makes it easier than ever to maintain the records the SEC requires to stay compliant with FINRA regulations. The SEC Crackdown Takes Aim At Wall Street’s Use Of Personal Messaging Apps At the heart of the ongoing SEC investigation are Meta’s (NASDAQ: META) WhatsApp, Apple’s (NASDAQ: AAPL) iMessage, and Signal among other messaging apps that the companies had been using to discuss work. The SEC requires financial firms to maintain detailed records of their business, including all work-related communications. The way these messaging apps are set up and handle data is also often inherently not compliant with the strict data security and record-keeping requirements financial firms need to follow. WhatsApp, for example, asks for access to its users’ contact lists. Likewise, the lack of transparency about what data WhatsApp collects on its users, how it uses it and who it shares that data with are all concerns that make it hard to ensure FINRA compliance. “Here are three takeaways for those firms who haven’t yet done so: self-report, cooperate and remediate. If you adopt that playbook, you’ll have a better outcome than if you wait for us to come calling,” said SEC Division of Enforcement Director Gurbir S. Grewal. That means the onus is on companies to audit their own communication practices and take steps now to ensure compliance if they want a shot at avoiding the steep fines already levied against some of the biggest names on Wall Street. SekurMessenger Could Give Companies A Way To Proactively Bring Communications Into Compliance For companies that want to heed that warning from the SEC, switching to SekurMessenger could help ensure their communication practices are compliant. The app, which is available on both Android and iOS devices as well as on the web, offers a number of advanced security features including end-to-end encryption, proprietary VirtualVaults and Helix Tech. Not only does this keep conversations secure, but it also provides a way to maintain privacy as the app doesn’t ask for a phone number or any other personal identification data. The messages and any files sent or received between users are stored in a secure cloud hosted on Swiss-based Sekur-owned servers. That secure storage also provides a place to safely archive sensitive work-related communications and is adding more enterprise-related features – such as a fully private network and mass onboarding of employees – when the company rolls out its upcoming Sekur Enterprise plans in late November of this year. Businesses can also use archiving and auto export with SekurMail, the cybersecurity and internet privacy provider’s email service that offers similar advanced privacy and security features as the messaging app. Together, the two apps can make it easier for companies to maintain compliant records without compromising security or privacy when discussing sensitive work-related information. Both SekurMessenger and SekurMail offer private and secure communications with non-Sekur users through its chat-by-invite feature for its messenger solution and SekurSend/SekurReply feature for the mail solution. This makes it even more attractive as employees can offer the same secure and private communications with their clients without compromising their data and privacy.

Increasing clamour for interest rate pause in US — Anthony Ginsberg

HANetf Holdings Limited

HAN-GINS Cloud Technology Equal Weight UCITS ETF (LSE:SKYY) and HAN-GINS Tech Megatrend Equal Weight UCITS ETF (LSE:ITEK) founder Anthony Ginsberg visits the Proactive London studio to speak about developments in the world of technology and the performance of his tech-exposed ETFs. Ginsburg highlights that his Tech Megatrend ETF covers eight sub-themes and had good run in the first half of the year, followed by a slight dip more recently. He emphasises that they take a balanced approach, with holdings equally weighted and rebalanced every six months, unlike other heavily U.S.-focused tech indices. He also pointed out the convergence of tech themes, such as AI and gaming, which are blurring the lines between sectors.
