San Francisco, California, United States - October 19, 2023

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.”
