About Poggio

Poggio is bringing the power of generative AI to sales teams. The Poggio platform leverages the cutting edge of AI to automate large portions of the enterprise sales workflow, including pipeline generation, account planning, account research and meeting prep, deal reviews, territory planning, and QBRs. Poggio amplifies the capabilities of salespeople so they can spend more time building relationships with their customers, and less time on non revenue generating activities.
