How do you research an account before a sales call?

To research an account before a sales call, mention Maito in Slack with the meeting. It reads the invite and the deal history in your CRM, checks the company's site and recent news, then writes a one-page brief with who they are, past activity, what changed and questions to ask.

How it's done today

Rep skims LinkedIn, the website, news and old CRM notes minutes before the call.

What Maito does

  1. Read the calendar invite
  2. Look up the company, recent news and funding
  3. Pull past emails, deals and tickets
  4. Write a brief with talking points and open questions

Dana 1:12 PM

@Maito prep me for my 2pm with Acme.

Maito APP 1:13 PM

Acme, 2:00 PM, with Hannah (VP Ops) and Raj (IT) Who they are: logistics software, 340 people, $45M Series C in August. History: 25 seats since March 2025 ($18k a year). Open HubSpot deal to grow to 60 seats, $31k, last touched Oct 2. Catch: Marcus, your champion, left Acme in September. Raj is new to the thread and isn't in HubSpot, so Hannah may now be the only one who knows the deal. Ask them: • Who replaced Marcus as day-to-day owner? • Does the Series C change the 60-seat plan? • Is IT reviewing security before signing? From your calendar invite, HubSpot, and Acme's site and press page.

Dana 1:15 PM

@Maito give me one opening line for Hannah.

Maito APP 1:15 PM

'Congrats on the Series C, Hannah. Before we pick up the 60 seats, who's running this on your side now that Marcus has moved on?'
