about us

Guiding sales teams on the proven path to success

The People.ai enterprise revenue intelligence platform helps teams speed up complex enterprise sales cycles by engaging the right people in the right accounts.

We do it by helping teams clearly see who to engage within each account and exactly what to do to deliver the highest-yielding deals and blow out their numbers every single quarter.

Company mission

Put the right people at the center of every deal

Our mission is to help companies accelerate growth, revenue, and innovation. And we know that can only happen if a sales team is talking to the right people in the right accounts.

So our platform gets teams there by helping them stop chasing the wrong people and start talking to the ones who matter most.

Then they can sell more (and faster) with the same headcount. They’re more confident in their targets because they can pinpoint and rescue the deals that are in danger of not closing. We’re here to make sure sales teams never miss another projection again.

Company Values

What We Value

We believe in acting on data to make better decisions, and most of all, in empowering people. We live our values every day by creating an inclusive and collaborative culture that seeks solutions and champions excellence.

We Take Care of Our People

At People.ai, we hire great people and challenge them to do great things. We provide opportunities to build skills and set your own career path. We constantly challenge each other to get out of our comfort zones in order to grow personally and professionally.

The Customer is Everything

Without our customers, we don’t have a business. And we never forget that. We put our customers at the center of every decision we make. We understand that although we are the ones building People.ai, it’s not all about us—it’s really about the value we can deliver to our customers.

End-to-End Ownership

At People.ai we’ve embraced the value of end-to-end ownership. Every project has a single owner; one person is in charge of making it happen.

Every Problem Has a Solution

We believe there are no unsolvable problems. It just takes time and teamwork to come to a resolution. Our problem-solving methodology is pretty simple. We think first about our customers and how the problem—and potential solutions—may impact them.

“Very Good” Today Is Better Than “Perfect” Tomorrow

We encourage our teams to take smart risks. It’s ok if those projects don’t pan out — we learn from it and move forward. Every member of our team is passionate about the work they do, and we hold people to high standards. But, we’re also realistic.

Disagree and Commit

We recognize there are multiple ways to approach and tackle a problem and we encourage the discourse, but the ultimate goal is to find a path of resolution.

Radical Transparency

This means we understand how every task we work on—regardless of your role or department—is part of the bigger picture. This value also extends to management transparency, open office space, and organizational shared goals that keep us all moving together as a team.

We are Data-Driven

Data is critical when it comes to making decisions that affect our customers so we will always use data to understand the dependencies and the upsides and downsides of any decision we make.
