In the dynamic business world, effective communication is key, and meetings are the cornerstone of this communication. Recognizing this, we at Shuttle have developed our first module, B2B Meeting Intel, to address a common challenge we encountered in our previous startup: the struggle to gather vital information before every meeting.
The Problem: The Need for Pre-Meeting Insight
Before any meeting, especially external ones, the scramble to gather information is a familiar scene. Amidst a busy schedule, finding relevant details about the people you're about to meet can be daunting and time-consuming. We often find ourselves scrambling online before meetings, trying to understand who we are meeting, looking for commonalities, and attempting to build a rapport. This lack of preparation can lead to missed opportunities to establish meaningful connections and understand the context of the meeting.
The Value of Building Rapport and Context
Building rapport is more than just a good practice; it's a strategic tool that can significantly impact the outcome of a meeting. Knowing your meeting participants' backgrounds, interests, and professional journeys can pave the way for more engaging and fruitful discussions. Similarly, understanding the context – the 'why' behind a meeting – enables you to tailor your approach, anticipate needs, and address concerns more effectively.
Launching B2B Meeting Intel: Your Pre-Meeting Advantage
To transform this chaotic process into a streamlined experience, we launched B2B Meeting Intel. Here's how it works:
1. How It Works - B2B Meeting Intel automatically gathers and compiles information about your meeting attendees.
2. **What Data It Provides**: It creates a comprehensive dossier including LinkedIn profiles, employment history, and other relevant social media information.
3. **Where You See the Data**: We integrate this information seamlessly into your existing workflow. Whether you're using Web, Slack (coming soon), or Email, B2B Meeting Intel provides this data right where you work, ensuring you don't have to disrupt your routine to stay informed.
A Dossier for Every B2B Meeting
Imagine having a personalized dossier for every work meeting, offering insights and information at your fingertips. This level of preparedness not only saves time but also equips you with the knowledge to build stronger professional relationships and make every meeting count.
Future Evolution: Integrating with Your CRM
We envision B2B Meeting Intel evolving to integrate with CRMs like Salesforce, Hubspot, pulling unique data relevant to your company. This integration aims to provide a more comprehensive view of your meeting attendees, enhancing your preparation and strategy for each meeting. Stay tuned to our product updates!
B2B Meeting Intel is just the starting point of our vision at Shuttle. We invite you to try it and share your feedback with us.
To infinity and beyond,
