In this episode of Sales Tech Deep Dive, we sit down with Abhijit Mitra, CEO of Outreach, to explore the rapidly evolving landscape of sales technology. Mitra shares his journey from leading enterprise software initiatives at Oracle, SAP, and ServiceNow to joining Outreach in 2023. He discusses how Outreach has expanded beyond sales engagement into conversation intelligence, deal management, and AI-driven forecasting, unifying once-disparate categories like sales engagement, Salesforce automation, and revenue intelligence into a $25 billion and growing market. Mitra highlights Outreach’s differentiation as a "system of action", leveraging AI to streamline sales workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and provide real-time insights to sales teams. He also introduces AI-powered sales agents that proactively assist reps with prospecting and account research, reducing manual effort and improving efficiency. Additionally, he shares Outreach’s broader industry focus, expanding from high-tech to telecommunications, financial services, and global enterprise customers like Siemens. The conversation also touches on the future of AI in sales, debunking misconceptions about Outreach as merely a prospecting tool, and how AI-driven workflows will reshape sales execution. Mitra envisions a world where AI partners with sales professionals, enabling them to focus on strategic conversations and relationship-building rather than administrative tasks. For those interested in learning more about Outreach, Mitra invites listeners to visit the company’s newly revamped website and engage with their AI-powered SDR team. outreach.io
