Mateo runs sales at Tern, solo.
He told Ako: find me the right companies, learn what matters to each, and write the first email. I'll decide what goes out.
All day, Ako finds leads that fit, researches each one, and queues a personal intro. It built Mateo this review inbox, and it's the CRM. He just picks what to send.
This is one example of how a founder runs sales with Ako. Here's a day in that seat.
Ako sourced and researched these overnight. You just review and send.
