“The automotive field is undergoing a fundamental change, becoming smarter and more tech-oriented, affecting related fields.

Autobound boasts its sales intelligence platform increases email reply rate by generating individually personalized sales emails using AI. The platform analyzes metadata on buyers and sellers from across the web, such as news events, shared experiences, company initiatives, personas, competitors, and more.
Software supporting mass emailing and task automation has gained widespread adoption since, with startups like Outreach and Salesloft tripling their (already unicorn) valuations in less than a year.
“Until now, writing high quality, personalized sales emails has been difficult for every seller out there. Sellers often resort to quantity over quality, which is a problem if they’re representing your company’s brand. Now that spray and pray methods are so widespread, the bar of what’s required to generate an email reply is higher than ever…” said Autobound’s CEO Daniel Wiener, who was previously the second-highest performing BDR in Oracle’s US sales division.
“Autobound’s AI suggests hyper-personalized content to the specific individual you’re reaching out to. Think ChatGPT, but for sales emails. We’re making it simple for any seller to write an A+ sales email instantly, so they can focus on revenue-producing activities like actually talking to buyers,” he added.
Wiener co-founded Autobound with Kyle Schuster, who used to be the top sales manager globally at Yelp, and Tanner McRae, who spent 6 years on Amazon’s R&D and ML teams.
