Three public signals, and our read of what they add up to.

Sep 29 · Stephen's post

Designing an agentic team

A bigger tech budget instead of more headcount, and agents doing work people used to do. If sales runs the same way, the agents need a source of truth on people.

Three ideas for AlphaSense

What we'd hand your sales agents first.

Picked for a vertical sales org that's moving work to agents, not for what we sell. Each one runs on the counts above.

Why it fits · sellers by vertical, buyers who keep moving

Every new strategy and research leader, routed to the team that sells to them.

An agent watches the seats AlphaSense sells into, corporate and buy side. When someone new starts, it checks the industry, picks the vertical team, and drops the account into that rep's day with the reason attached. This month that's names like Deutsche Bank, Citadel and Millennium.
