Business Development Manager for German Market

About Sophie

SOPHIE is your tireless, meticulous, and slightly overachieving sales assistant, built with one mission in mind: bringing the focus of the sales process back to the customer, not the software. We believe sales professionals should spend their time building relationships, closing deals, and making progress, not chasing down documents, double-checking invoices, or updating CRM entries for the fifth time today. SOPHIE is an AI-powered CRM automation tool for mainstream CRM systems that eliminates admin workload. By automating the collection, naming, and filing of documents (agreements, reports, quotes), SOPHIE keeps your CRM clean and organized, and fades the CRM system to background of your daily tasks.
