The idea of the founder Jake Chronin for the sir came from an experience in college. For summer, he had the option to work in an amusement park or sell kitchen knives door -to -door. He chose the latter and earned good money from it. The following year, he opened an office to hire other sales representatives and sold them knives. But he realized that he could not be on the ground to help all junior representatives to help the coach.
A few years later, after working in McKinse, Cronin began to build the sir – to code the core product itself.
“When I was running a knife sales office, I realized that a lot of sales work is manual, and good software could have a lot of value,” he told Techcrunch in an interview. “As much as I researched on sale, I thought that the biggest opportunity here is not in data promotion or customer relationship management, but it is in improving the life of the sales representative who are on the ground.”
Siro moves sales meetings through an app. The features include a company-wide dashboard, where sales can present successful calls and sort them by engagement with peers, allowing other representatives to get an insight about hearing top calls and improving on-round sales trips.
Cronin stated that Siro trains models for specific industry vertical – for example, HVAC sales coaching. The company also uses a common-purpose model to assume how a seller is creating coordination and rejecting.
