Nooks

🎉We just raised our $43M Series B, led by Kleiner Perkins. 🎉 It’s a big day for Nooks. And an even bigger day for sales teams everywhere. Here’s why: We’re using that investment to double-down on our mission to humanize sales pipeline generation. And to announce our AI Sales Assistant Platform (ASAP). The world’s fastest-growing companies already use our AI Dialing Assistant to generate over 70% of their pipeline. Now, we’re adding two new assistants to the platform: ✅ The AI Coaching Assistant with automated scorecards and AI roleplay to cut onboarding time by 50% and more ✅ The AI Prospecting Assistant with account research, list building, and email writing to quickly identify and engage your best prospects These assistants integrate and reinforce each other. Helping your teams generate 2-3x more pipeline fast.  —- At Nooks, we believe the future is human reps working with AI assistants. Not being replaced by AI. Our assistants achieve that goal by taking care of busywork so you can focus on the strategic, human side of sales. Will you join us on this mission? 🚀 Start a trial with Nooks today. https://lnkd.in/g8EMsFuD Or, check out the open roles available across product, engineering, and go-to-market. https://nooks.ai/careers

I’m honored to be included in Nooks' 100+ Meeting Club for Fall 2025! ☎️ Apparently the 100+ Club makes less than 1% of SDRs, which is pretty cool if you ask me. This only helps prove that our process at OSP works - huge shoutout to Jon Aron, David Goodman S., Hazel Perez, and the leadership team for helping me get here!

Happy Friday, everyone! 💜 It’s been a busy and exciting couple of months doing what I love at Idelic and I’m thrilled to share some Friday news from Nooks that I’m apart of their 50+ meetings booked for Fall 2025! Definitely feels good when you are working hard. I’ve been dialing with one of the best CRMs out there — and it’s been a game changer for productivity and connection. The sky’s the limit when you’re using the right tools! Wishing everyone a strong finish to the week!

Calling wrong numbers and bad prospects will take years off your life 💀 That's why top SDRs are using Nooks to automate account research, list building and dialing so they can win on the phones. Check out our playbook with 30 Minutes to President's Club on how to do the prep work to double meetings before you even start making calls. LINK: https://lnkd.in/gXsg5CT3 🔥

Live cold calling blitz with Lauren Reeves and the US Swap team! It was one of the most energizing sessions we’ve had in a while 💪 Our AE, Harry Morrill, joined Swap for a full day of live calls and hands-on training with the team 📞 What made it so valuable: 💜 In-person learning: New BDRs could ask real questions, see the tool in action, and get instant clarity. 💜 Real-time coaching: Harry jumped in with feedback mid-call and shared insights from the AE perspective. 💜 Live results: Nothing beats hearing a pickup, watching a rep handle it, and helping them book that meeting on the spot. Cold calling remains one of the most powerful channels in sales and like any skill, it gets sharper the more you practice. Thanks for making the trip, Harry. The team loved it! 🤝 Video credit: Lauren Reeves 💜

Numbers matter. But how you lead matters more 🤯 Shoutout to our AE managers who put up a record-breaking Q3 at Nooks. Yes, investors will be pleased with the performance. But what makes me most proud is the leadership behind those numbers. Special thanks to the trio below: 💜 Kendra Berner: who pushed her team to 200%+, with all 7 reps at goal. She also ramped Faith Lau, Sadaf Ghadimi, and Ryan Zawada — all of whom hit quota. A masterclass in building and scaling a culture of winning. 💪🏽 Marcus Babcock: ended with the highest performing MM pod, well north of 100%. Helped codify our new BDR→AE playbook and closed b2b $100k+ deals in the final week. 🙏🏽 Shara Davoodi— did more with less, and found a way to smash goal with a small but mighty team. Closing three $100k+ deals down the stretch. His team was under quota capacity but still delivered above goal at 133%. -- People-first leadership is why the numbers look so good. p.s. still hiring :)

When Deel first brought on Nooks, it wasn’t a global rollout. They started small, testing it with their North America SDR team, hoping to improve connect rates and add more at-bats to their day. But it didn’t take long before something clicked. Within weeks, performance skyrocketed, talk time increased, conversion rates climbed, and SDRs were booking more meetings than ever before. Then something even bigger happened: “We quite literally became obsessed with Nooks,” said Kate Londgren, Associate Director at Deel. “It worked so well for North America that our global teams wanted in.” Fast forward, and Deel’s SDR org has made over 2 million calls on Nooks, spanning APAC, LATAM, EMEA and North America. Now, reps around the world are using Nooks daily to collaborate, learn from each other, and win together. No matter the time zone. Kate shared what made the difference: 👉 AI Coaching & Practice Rooms: SDRs can practice calls with a realistic AI persona before ever picking up the phone. 👉 Localized Dialing: Reps can dial with local area codes and speak to prospects in their native language, removing barriers in international outreach. 👉 Visibility for Leaders: Managers can finally see what “good” looks like, with reporting that helps forecast accurately and coach effectively. “When I think about Nooks, the word that comes to mind is game changer. It simplifies the manager’s life, the rep’s life, and even the prospect’s life. You’re never calling alone, there’s always someone in Nooks, somewhere in the world.” For Deel, what started as a regional test became a global sales transformation, powered by AI, collaboration, and a culture of constant improvement. 🎥 See Kate Londgren’s full story here → https://bit.ly/3KCZ053

EJ Eitel holds a 100% win rate on trials and compressed his enterprise cycles to just 3-4 months 🔥 Enterprise sales cycles usually stretch 9 months or more. Long evaluations, layers of approvals, competing priorities, it all drags deals out. But it doesn’t have to 🙅♂️ At Nooks, we’ve seen enterprise cycles shrink to just 3–4 months, even for six-figure deals. The difference isn’t luck or discounts. It’s process. How you source the deal, design the evaluation, and manage stakeholders from day one. One AE on our team recently sourced a cold call, ran a global pilot, and closed in three months flat, while maintaining a 100% trial win rate. We broke down exactly how it happened in our latest playbook: “Accelerating Enterprise Sales: Turning Cold Calls into 3-Month Closes.” 📖 Read the full breakdown here → https://lnkd.in/gDdCGbjG

We accomplished something special in Q3, and solidified our culture of winning here at Nooks. Behind it? An incredible team. Every function - from Sales and CS to Product, Marketing, and RevOps - played a key role in building the machine that has delivered six record-breaking quarters. Special congratulations to a few people who delivered extra big results: 📞 Faith Lau was the top SDR at Nooks, landing at 113%. Earning a promotion to AE. 🥵 Ryan Tettemer ended as #1 AE companywide, 219% to goal. 🤝 Cameron McCann led the CS organization in upsell revenue closed. 💜 Kendra Berner was the top performing sales leader. 203% to goal. 8/8 reps above quota. Besides our people, cold calling is the (not-so-secret) secret to our success. 45%+ of our wins were generated from cold calls, including our largest logo in Enterprise. Thank you Melanie Smith and the best SDR team in the business! We offer free trials for anyone who wants more pipeline, and we are hiring across all functions. Congrats on the amazing quarter. Let’s do it again!
