How To Find Michele Kelly

Growing up, Michele Kelly idled time by reading the dictionary, writing sappy lyrics and making up stories. Playtime became a passion: to unleash the stories of others.

 Michele is co-founder of K+L Storytellers, a brand story and content agency for companies who want to be better understood through their story so they change the world. Given a yellow, No. 2 Ticonderoga pencil, Michele is lethal. She writes 10,000+ words monthly for clients with the urgency of Wonder Woman saving the world with language. Michele is a contributing author to three books, a 4x published ghostwriter in the nonfiction book category, and developmental editor on more than forty books. She is currently working on an anthology of fictional short stories entitled 9 Candles. The computer science grad from Florida Tech shares her heart and writing studio with husband and co-founder Roderick Kelly, plus three children and a pug named Sweet Pea who is often heard snoring on Zoom meetings.

Imagine having a smart assistant, like an Alexa or Siri, join your customer calls, transcribe your conversations during the call, take notes for you, summarize action items and prompt you with relevant information (and coaching from your manager) right in the moment when you need it, not after the fact…

Outreach Kaia (pronounced KAYA) is an intelligent virtual assistant that brings together real-time sales enablement and advanced AI to make every sales rep more effective, every customer conversation more productive and every coaching opportunity more precise— so you can close deals faster.

If you would like to see Kaia in action, schedule a demo at click.outreach.io/salesbabble-kaia today!

 

No matter how well-prepared or experienced you are as a seller, customers will catch you off guard. And you have split-seconds to react.

Unlike traditional conversation intelligence tools, Outreach Kaia is changing the game with true conversation intelligence in real time— giving you exactly the information you need, to handle anything that gets thrown at you.

Say a prospect asks you about a specific product that just launched, that you’re personally still learning the ins-and-outs of. Kaia hears this question, and automatically displays a content card with all of the information you would need to sell that new product right there.

Schedule a demo at click.outreach.io/salesbabble-kaia to see for yourself and watch those deals stack up.
