Think of this as putting a very smart assistant inside your CRM that watches all your customer interactions, predicts which deals are most likely to close, and nudges sales reps on what to do next and when.
Traditional CRMs act like passive databases and rely on heavy manual data entry and gut-feel prioritization.
