When the quarter moon rises and shadows grow long, And your pipeline feels cursed and everything's wrong, Beware, weary seller, of creatures that creep, The deal demons lurking while prospects don't sleep. First comes the GHOST with its vanishing act, Your champion's gone, radio silence, in fact. No emails returned, no calls coming through, Just crickets and tumbleweeds haunting your queue. Then lurks the UNKNOWN COMPETITOR'S shade, Mid-presentation it strikes, your confidence frayed. "How do you compare?" asks your prospect once more, To a rival whose name you've not heard before. Behold the WRONG STAKEHOLDER, deceptive and sly, You've courted their trust, but lo! They can't buy. No budget, no power, no influence at all, Just months of your effort now doomed for a fall. The OVERPROMISE MONSTER breathes down your neck, "Just tell them we'll build it!" (Your deal's now a wreck.) The ink's barely dry when the truth comes to light, Your customer's angry, your renewal takes flight. And worst of them all? The OUT-PREPARED FOE, Who lurked in the shadows; you didn't yet know. Until the deal's lost and you're left there to see, They knew every weakness while you winged it carefree. These horrors are REAL. They're not campfire tales. They're reasons the best of our deals can derail. But you need not face them alone in the dark, The right AI teammate can be your bright spark. 🎃 Read the full horror stories (and how to survive them): https://lnkd.in/erj2mf4C

Most AI "solutions" create more tasks to manage. Ava is a teammate who strategizes and collaborates alongside you, before, during, and after every call, on every deal. At VivunNEXT, we're showing how an AI teammate changes what's possible: → Reps get real-time assistance during calls (not just post-call analysis) → Every seller has expert-level backup (not just your enterprise team) → Teams sell faster, smarter, and more consistently (without adding or subtracting headcount) Thought leader sessions include: → Craig Rosenberg (ex-Gartner) on where AI fits best in your tech stack → Dayforce and Gladly sharing their AI rollout and adoption strategies → Demos of a rep working a deal with Ava from first call through closed won PLUS: Vivun roadmap updates and new resources to build your AI GTM strategy Nov 6 | 9am PT or on-demand www.vivun.com/vivun-next

The hardest part of innovation isn’t starting; it’s starting again. Faced with the inevitable obsolescence of our SaaS product, we had to rebuild from the ground up. Here’s how Vivun evolved our product and our customers into the AI age.
If your startup is older than 2023 AI has created a lot of existential questions for you. Do you bolt on? Do you stay the course? Do you rebuild? I shared our journey with Crunchbase in order to pay it forward to fellow founders and operators. ❤️ For those tired of hearing stories of the 5 person team going from $1 - “a bajillion” in revenue in 4 months, I offer a much more grounded story of what CEOs and companies are really going through. From first hand experience of doing it at Vivun. Check out the full piece here 👇 https://lnkd.in/g2g638Ne If you have specific Q’s or want more details, ask in the comments or DM me. Here’s to all the founders and teams out there who work hard every day to bring their innovations into the world to help their customers. 🥂 #AIforSales #SalesLeadership #B2BSales

A teammate before, during, and after every call, on every deal, for every seller 💪
Proud to announce Ava Assist today. Real-time help from the first AI Teammate for Sales… before, during and after calls. Result? Win rates up. Average deal sizes up. Here’s how 👀 👇 ✔️ Prepare Before Meetings: Role-play upcoming conversations with Ava to walk into every meeting prepared and confident. ✔️ Perform During Meetings: Receive real-time insights, competitor intel, and product answers on the spot while staying focused on the buyer conversation—with the seller able to control whether Ava listens silently or actively engages. ✔️ Follow Up After Meetings: Get guided next steps and coaching based on the context of the past conversation—so deals move forward without delays. And unlike Agentforce which requires you to custom build every use case, at Vivun we’re offering a 30-day free trial for teams to experience how Ava unlocks capacity across their sales process. Visit https://lnkd.in/g9CA4JA7 to get started. Full press release in the comments #AIforSales #SalesLeadership #B2BSales

Is it time to get off of zoom? In the latest V5 episode, Wendy Petty CRO of WorkFusion, reminds us that the strongest reps aren’t hiding behind video calls. They’re out meeting buyers, building trust, and moving deals. Reps need time in front of customers. Wendy talks about why enterprise selling still demands a human touch, and how leaders can push their teams (and themselves) out of the remote rut. Remote tools are part of the job, but they’re not the whole game. This one’s for anyone rethinking what great selling looks like going into 2026.
