Backchannel Bot

Backchannel research can be extremely valuable, but it often gets ignored. We're automating this research to make it more likely that it gets done. By backchannel research, we mean asking past colleagues about their experience of working with someone. The use cases for this are 1. Researching a potential new hire. 2. Researching a potential new boss. 3. Researching a new prospect or vendor. Our bot works by first ingesting the LinkedIn profile of the person you want to research. It then gathers a list of potentially good people to contact, people that were most likely past colleagues of the person being researched. To use the free version, you can take these contacts and reach out to them yourself. On the Enterprise version, we will help you automate outreach either from your LinkedIn account or handle the outreach and research for you from our LinkedIn accounts. We are releasing this bot with two pricing options Basic: free to use, no cap on number of queries Enterprise: custom pricing, potential add-on’s include 1. More results per query 2. Additional custom, meta-data fields for each contact 3. Automated outreach to potential past colleagues. 4. Integration support Usage of this bot on Surudo is simple and intuitive. See the demo video below. Signup link for both Basic and Enterprise is in the comments. Happy prospecting!
