On-Demand Webinar: Stop Toggling, Start Selling: How AI Actually Works

ON-DEMAND WEBINAR

March 19, 2026 10:00 AM

What you'll learn:

  • Why most AI tools fail - and the one thing that actually determines whether they work
  • How Red Hat's team went from fragmented, manual forecasting to a single view across 2,000 sellers
  • What "complete data" actually means and how to know if you have it
  • How to coach your team using real deal activity - not rep self-reporting
  • What to bring back to your leadership team on Monday morning

The problem we're talking about:

Most AI tools are working with incomplete data. They fill in the gaps with guesswork - which means your commit calls are still a coin flip and your "champions" haven't moved a deal in months.

This session is about why that happens and what it actually takes to fix it.

No spin. No demo. No vendor talking points. Sales leader Richard Harris sits down with Jamie Craig Gainey from Red Hat - a team that went from scattered CRM data and manual forecasting to a 50%+ increase in win rates - for an honest conversation about what's working and what's not.

Who should attend:

  • CROs and VP Sales - Understand why your AI investment isn't moving the needle yet, and what your data foundation needs to look like before it will.
  • RevOps and Sales Ops Directors - Learn how teams like Red Hat's automated activity capture across 2,000 sellers, and what that made possible downstream in forecasting and coaching.
  • Sales Managers - Because your next performance review will include a question about AI. You need to know what actually drives results so you can lead your team through it.

Register now. One hour. Real answers. Possibly the most useful thing on your calendar this month.

Backstory is an important tool for sales moving forward. Information lives in many places, meeting transcripts, emails, etc. Having information in one place via AI will be a game changer.

For a company our size, multiply those time savings across every rep and manager globally - Backstory basically pays for itself before you even count the deals caught earlier.

With Backstory, we removed the guesswork from our sales process. The data is clean, insights are actionable, and our team finally has a shared view of every deal in pipeline.

If reps aren't in a multi-threaded deal, Backstory flags it. That lets us act fast - asking who we need to get in front of before the gap becomes the reason we lost the deal.

With Backstory, you see if reps are single-threaded and the quality of their interactions. It's one thing to diagnose a pipeline problem. Backstory helps you actually fix it.
