Exceed.AI is an intelligent AI assistant that engages your potential customers in conversations over email, chat, website and even SMS. It seamlessly integrates into your existing systems, whether it’s your CRM or your marketing automation, running automatically and autonomously in the background. And, it knows to identify when a lead is ready to talk to your sales reps, qualifying it and booking a meeting directly on the rep’s calendar.
The genuine value of Exceed is that it knows how to handle various aspects of the tedious and time consuming tasks of sales and marketing. It also ensures that sales leads get tireless follow-ups in an effort to overturn the fact that 44 percent of sales reps will give up following up on a lead after one or two attempts.
Exceed recently closed a $4 million funding round. These funds will be used to grow sales and improve and expand the services. They received innovation grants from the Israeli government.
According to Yaron Ismah-Moshe, Co-Founder and CPO of Exceed.AI., Exceed has helped several companies to increase sales productivity by 19-35% with its virtual sales assistant.
How It Works: Exceed’s Workflow & Features
Sales leads are qualified automatically by engaging potential end customers in two-ways conversations.
Exceed uses AI to automate conversation with sales leads; interactions can be customized by the client. This takes away the time consuming, tedious lead qualification part of the sales process.
Key features include:
CRM Automated Updates
Exceed.AI updates the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system with customer conversations and any bits of information gathered during the interaction, like position change within the company, contact left the company, contact asked to be contacted at a later date and so on. Sales people are notorious for failing to update the CRM, Exceed’s AI assistant isn’t.
Dynamic Nurturing
AI assistant identifies lead’s place in the buyer journey and initiates nurturing accordingly.
Lead Qualification
Ability to engage a lead in a wide spectrum of approaches in order to recognize readiness of lead to being approached by a human sales rep.
Meeting Scheduling
Scheduling of meetings for sales reps with ‘sales ready’ leads; significant time saving for sales reps by avoiding back and forth communications.
AI-Driven Personalization
The use of firmographics and users profile data, combined with natural language ‘understanding’ allows for real-like, two-way conversations that are tailored to specific leads.
Self Onboarding
Extensive resources and support documentation enable swift and simple onboarding.
Exceed Partners and SaaS Success
Exceed integrates with leading CRMs and marketing automation platforms such as Hubspot, Salesforce, ZOHO, Oracle, Sugar CRM, Pardot and more.

I think the humanized versions are far easier and cheaper at this time. Now, if the tech gets clearly better than humans, it will be illegal for humans to drive at all.
