Bill and I both are sales people who have been a part of large sales organizations for a combined 25 years of experience. We have walked a mile in those shoes.
We know what parts of the job are awesome, BUT we also know what parts of the job flat out suck.
Sales teams were never given an easy to use tool to engage with as many customers as they wanted to, all at once. We looked at how others were trying to solve this problem and we came to our own conclusion: every other department gets cool software. Overwhelmingly, sales people got left with crappy refurbished laptops and CRM’s that weren’t built for them.
We heard horror stories over and over “if it’s not in the system, it doesn’t exist!” or “use the CRM, that’s what it’s there for.”
When we first started our company, we actually started as a service. Our service helped clients contact old leads to have sales conversations. Once we got a hold of those customers, we would try to sell them. Sounds pretty simple right?
We found that without technology, the job wasn’t only hard, it was miserable. Cold calling was in-effective. We spent hours leaving voicemail messages that no one returned. We wound up manually emailing, or using a mass emailer that got caught up in spam filters. We found our CRM couldn’t help us, it was just too complicated for most of our staff.
We ended up patching together a bunch of different softwares to tackle this problem internally. Our systems were far from perfect, BUT they worked.
We spent 90% less time cold calling. Our engagement went from 5% to 53%. We increased revenue for our clients by $75M annually. Most important? Our sales team loved to come to work everyday.
That’s when we knew. THIS was our product. Hatch in a nutshell? Hatch lets sales teams engage with hundreds of customers at once and keeps text, email, phone and social conversations all in one place.
Our core mission, and these two things:
If our customers aren’t selling, we aren’t happy.
We have worked hand in hand with sales team across the country during the development of our product. We are so excited to share our product, mission, and company with you.
