🔥🚪👀 𝗢𝗙𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗘 𝗗𝗥𝗢𝗣 𝗜𝗡𝗦, weekly profiles of cracked teams | Ep 4: @tryattention (w/ @anisbennaceur1 ) As long as I’ve known Anis, I’ve been impressed by just how capably and consistently his team sells Attention. Today I learned the secret behind this sales success: a dungeon for underperforming reps. In all seriousness -- while @mwickenburg1 focuses on building beautiful product, Anis runs a stellar GTM org that thrives on hustle and takes many of its cues from Frank Slootman. Check out the video to learn more about the AI agents for AE gruntwork and sales enablement automation that’s being used by customers like @scale_AI @bamboohr and Abridge. Oh, and Anis's plan for NYC baguette domination. (Lookout, Le Pain Quotidien!) cc: @EniacVC @JacobFleisher Hadley Dan ---- #startups #venturecapital #officedropins

Had an interesting learning from my past startup: I could either buy mixer.co for $12k or mixer.com for $60k. We went with the cheaper option, which I regretted - Microsoft ended up creating a live streaming platform and bought mixer.com which killed us from an SEO perspective. For my current startup I bought attention.com as soon as I could and it was a great decision.

Many like the idea of working at early startups. Everyone claims startup grit - most implode by month three. To surface the truth during an interview, you have to stress-test whether someone’s actually a fit for early stage startup life. Here are 5 non-obvious stress-test tactics from @anisbennaceur1, Co-Founder and CEO of @tryattention during their sales hiring process: 1. YC “hack-the-system” probe: Entrepreneurial candidates make for the best hires early on. YC’s famous question “Tell me about a time you hacked the system to your advantage.” is an excellent way to surface the scrappy creativity early‑stage startups live on. Watch for sparkling eyes and rapid‑fire examples. @anisbennaceur1 counts how many emerge unprompted. 2. 10 PM ping test: Speed and urgency is everything in startups. During the vetting process for growth hires, @anisbennaceur1 pinged both finalists at 10 pm on a Wednesday with an urgent ask (he does this regularly during interview processes). One left a concert to send thoughts back within 5 minutes. The other replied with a polished answer the next morning. Needless to say who got the job. 3. No-haggle offers: When @tryattention issues an offer, the number never moves. Candidates who press for an extra five grand walk, and that’s exactly the point. Startups win on slope, not base salary deltas. The rep who joins for upside out‑sells the rep who joins for guarantees. Haggling seeds cultural debt - if comp is elastic, so are deadlines and quality bars. 4. Never hire just one first AE: Hiring one AE is like flying blind on a moonless night. You can’t tell if the instrument is broken or the pilot is. Solo sellers blame pricing, leads, calendar, and you have no data to contradict them. Add a second AE and every excuse hits a brick wall of real‑time comparison. If both fail, you have a bigger problem. 5. Post mortem: After each hire - especially flops - @anisbennaceur1 runs call transcripts through o3 for a post‑mortem, asking the model to surface weak questions, subtle red flags, and sharper probes (while being extra harsh and critical). Those AI insights feed straight back into the script for the hiring engine to keep improving.

“The toughest interview of their lives” Is what many call the final round interview with @anisbennaceur1, co-founder and CEO of @tryattention. In the latest focal podcast episode, he shares how he pressure-tests for founder DNA in sales hires - using tactics most startups would never dare try: • Citadel-style stress tests • No-haggle offer policies • YC-inspired scrappiness probes • 10 PM ping traps • Heavy anti-selling Because if you’re scared off by intensity, you shouldn’t work for @tryattention. Link to the episode in comments.

Well, yesterday, @anisbennaceur1 from @tryattention walked me through one of the latest AI Agent they built, called 'End of the Week Scorecard Report'. And let me tell you, it's the bomb! Honestly, I wish I had access to such a thing 5 years ago.

My take on the right playbook: 1) Businesses layoff 25-40% bottom performers. 3% doesn’t move the needle. 2) create a healthy foundation of strong unit economics per FTE. 3) inevitably scale back up your business with strong talent (due to increasingly competitive nature of markets).

People ask how to invest in the fastest-growing startups in NYC. The answer? Back companies that start with "Attenti." Attentive was the fastest-growing company for years and is now a monster, and Attention 10xed its ARR last year and just announced their Series A. Easy peasy!

one of the habits that transformed my ability to run founder-led sales (and now delegate as the team scales) is having a review process for sales motion. at unify, we use @tryattention to record and analyze our calls in less time. attention uses ai to automate the analysis that a sales manager would, saving skyler and i tens of hours per week. highly recommend using in your tech stack (shoutout to @anisbennaceur1 and @mwickenburg1). 1) nail the talk:listen ratio on your discovery calls. on a discovery call, you can get a pretty good sense of how it went through talk-to-listen ratio. quick tip: talk less. my rule of thumb is to talk a maximum of 40% of the time. the more information you can harvest on a disco call, better you understand your customer and how to provide them value. 2) know your customer's compelling events. we've found that our deals move fastest when there's a clear compelling event—whether it's a new website launch or a big outbound okr that they're not sure how they're going to hit. we lean into compelling events as the reason why someone should move to unify today vs. in the future. attention automatically extracts the compelling events from a transcript for us 🙂 3) keep track of the prospects existing tech stack. we used to find it difficult to pull our customer's tech stacks out of calls. the idea is simple, but in practice it often is a lower priority to do consistently. we also want to be collecting the type of tech stack that they're using so we can actually make an informed judgment call on how to pitch our value to them. for example: if a prospect uses @salesforce, @G2dotcom and @clearbit, we (at unify) should understand that and use that in the pitch. we have to help the prospect understand how we can help them get more value out of these data sources. the more tailored we can make the pitch, the more value our customer sees. tldr: 1) talk less. listen more. 2) know your customers compelling events 3) personalize the pitch with the customer's tech stack. any best practices that you'd recommend?
