In a typical sales process, once a sales call ends, it’s up to the main contact person to share the key points and benefits with other decision-makers in their company. This can be difficult because they might not remember or explain everything as well as the sales rep did. This communication gap can slow down or even stop potential deals, costing companies a lot of money in lost sales every year, and this is where Mica comes in.

This innovative approach ensures that decision-makers who were not present on the call can quickly grasp key product features and deal terms, leading to faster sales cycles and more closed deals. Mica’s solution is simple yet powerful. After a sales call, Mica automatically processes the recording, identifying the key points that garnered the most interest from the prospect. It then generates short videos for each of these crucial topics. These videos are compiled into a shareable link, which can be easily included in follow-up emails or sent directly to the prospect. By offering this service, Mica not only helps in creating more informed contacts within organisations but also accelerates the decision-making process. Decision-makers can review the essential information swiftly, making it easier for them to move forward with the deal.
