Leveraging AI for Revenue Intelligence: Insights from Burak Aksar, Co-Founder of Spiky
Summary:
In this episode of the GTM AI podcast, host Jonathan welcomes Burak Aksar, co-founder and software engineer at Spiky, an AI-powered revenue intelligence platform. Burak shares his journey from a technical background in machine learning to the world of go-to-market and sales. He discusses how Spiky leverages AI to analyze customer conversations, measure non-conversational metrics, and provide actionable insights to help teams optimize their revenue processes. Burak also shares his thoughts on the current state of AI in business and what he's excited about for the future.
Highlighted Concepts:
- Revenue intelligence: Analyzing data from various sources (sales, customer success, support, product, engineering) to optimize revenue processes
- Non-conversational metrics: Measuring up to 60 different metrics per second, including vocal, visual, and contextual data, to provide insights beyond just transcripts
- Actionable insights: Identifying trends across customer conversations and tying them to revenue outcomes
- AI stack: Utilizing a combination of proprietary models, open-source, and closed-source APIs to power the Spiky platform
- Explainable AI: The importance of making AI models transparent, scalable, and ethically sound
Quotes from Burak:
- "The revenue domain is already very complicated, and I think no one has figured out yet, including us, what are some winning behaviors and how do I basically apply this at scale?"
- "If you don't understand, I don't think you can optimize any process. It can't, it doesn't need to be revenue, but the things that I'm like really excited, if I flip the page a bit, I think, like we've been expecting this, but the large language models are becoming a commodity."
- "I think making these ethically, like ethically, successful is a very big challenge because let me make an analogy here. Even explaining one decision tree or random forest, it's super hard. Like it doesn't make sense to humans."
