1. Lavender – AI Email Coaching Tool for Sales Reps

‍

‍

❤️ Who’s gonna love it: SDR teams writing cold emails, sales leaders tired of editing every rep’s outreach, anyone who’s ever Googled “why is no one replying?”

If you haven’t heard about Lavender, it’s a pretty badass AI tool that makes your emails, well... better. Instead of having to scour through hundreds of your teams’ emails to help nail their messaging, Lavender steps in to act as your very own coach.  

They call themselves an “email intelligence platform” and, in real-time, rate things like tone and phrasing to maximize the chances of actually getting a reply. It will even take a first stab at your email for you.

‍

You'll also want to check out their newest product, Ora — an AI prospecting agent that leans on Lavender to research lead triggers, auto-optimize emails, and send them at exactly the right time.

2. Fathom – AI Call Summary & Action Item Generator

‍

‍

️❤️ Who’s gonna love it: AEs who multitask on Zoom, managers who need clean notes (without nagging for them), and reps who always forget to follow up

Fathom isn’t brand new, but if you and your team aren’t using it, you’re absolutely going to want to give it a shot. Not only does the tool take notes for you on your most important goals, it also sends out a summary and all of your action items the very second your call ends. And even better? Instead of worrying about getting “next steps” out of your head, you and your team can focus on actually selling.  

So you have your call notes. Your boss is in the loop. And your follow-up is on point.

3. Sendspark – Personalized Video Prospecting at Scale

‍

‍

️❤️ Who’s gonna love it: BDRs running ABM plays, marketers who want sales videos that don’t look like 2006 screencasts, anyone trying to stand out in a sea of text

Consider this our love note to Sendspark. The platform is super simple (and honestly, so is the concept), but the end result is pure magic.  

Imagine you’re planning a cool new ABM campaign for a list of 100 people. And you want to include an awesome, customized video... for each and every person.

Well, Sendspark makes it easy peasy lemon squeezy. Their platform allows you to record a single video, but use AI to customize it for each person on your list. The end product is a video that looks like 1:1 outreach — complete with details like your prospect’s website in the background, and a customized greeting for every single person in the beginning. All done in the amount of time it takes to create a single video.  

If that doesn’t make your sales heart swoon, we’re not sure what will.

4. Bebop.ai – Sales Intelligence + Prospecting Battle Plans

‍

‍

️❤️ Who’s gonna love it: Strategic sellers who love a shortcut, full-cycle reps juggling outreach and prep, anyone who wants prospect research served on a platter

If you haven’t already tried Bebop.ai for sales prep, there’s a solid chance you’re going to fall in love. The app builds you a personalized battleplan that literally gives you a line-by-line walk-through on how you can sell to a prospect (we’re talking sales angles, potential objections, and the best contacts — all custom tailored to how your business can appeal to theirs).  

Not only is it one of the fastest ways to understand how to close any deal, it also includes a killer prospecting feature that’s backed by one of the best data sources in the world. Even cooler? They recently added the ability to search for influencers, as well as include people and companies from LinkedIn in your prospecting searches. Not to mention its recent facelift increased the tool’s speed by 2900% (not too shabby).  

Ok, ok — we might be a little biased on this one. But seriously, it’s a game changer!

5. Scratchpad – CRM Updates Made Painless (and Fast)

‍

‍

️❤️ Who’s gonna love it: Reps who swear they’ll “update it later,” sales managers cleaning up dashboards before pipeline reviews, and anyone with a complicated relationship with their CRM

If there’s one thing sales teams loathe, it’s having to do non-sales-related activities (like updating the CRM).

Well, Scratchpad makes keeping things up-to-date so much easier, all with the power of AI. Those deal notes, pipeline views, or call summaries that you want entered into your CRM? Scratchpad handles them instantly — no more toggling through 14 tabs or “I’ll update it later” promises that never actually happen.

It’s basically like giving every rep a personal sales assistant who knows exactly where your deals are, what’s missing, and what next steps are about to slip through the cracks. And bonus: It integrates seamlessly with Salesforce, so your ops team won’t give you side-eye for using it.

‍

‍

So what's next?

Sales teams everywhere are gearing up to finish the year strong. And let’s be honest, your competition isn’t about to hand over their secret playbook. But with the right tools in your corner, you don’t need their sauce. From faster outreach to smarter prep to frictionless follow-through, these platforms give you the edge you need to outmaneuver, out-close, and outperform.

Q4 pressure? Meet your unfair advantage.
