conversations
Munich|12.10.2023 - The technology company bao, which develops an AI-based solution for real-time support and analysis of sales conversations, announces its collaboration with Urban Schmitt. Urban, one of the leading sales coaches in Germany, will contribute his extensive knowledge and expertise in sales to the further development of bao's solutions.
Urban Schmitt has had a remarkable career that has given him experience in various industries and positions. Formerly working as a television editor for industry giants such as ZDF and RTL, Urban Schmitt has not only gained a deep knowledge of the media landscape, but has also honed his skills in negotiations. With more than 10 years of experience as an independent sales and communications trainer, he has worked with clients such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft, as well as political players, whom he coaches for election campaign speeches.
As an external partner at bao, Urban Schmitt focuses on the further development of the bao co-pilot. Here he helps, for example, with fine-tuning the AI models for perfect sales calls. In addition, his experience directly benefits bao's customers by improving the sales conversations and strategies mapped on the bao platform.
"We are very pleased about the close partnership with Urban Schmitt," says Dr. Patrick Strunkmann-Meister, CEO and founder of bao. "In my conversations with Urban, it very quickly became clear to me that he is the perfect advisor for our customers and - increasingly in the future - our own artificial intelligence. AI still needs a little time to reach Urban's level. But together we will get closer step by step. A truly forward-looking partnership!".
Urban Schmitt's reasons for supporting bao are clear: "Every company faces the challenges of cold calling, and bao fills a significant gap here. Even today, many sales teams still rely on outdated methods and miss the personal touch in their conversations. For me, the fascinating thing about bao is the combination of standardized conversation management and yet - or precisely because of this - noticeably more personal conversations."
