BackEngine is the AI chatbot built for B2B sales. It knows your products, your prospects, and your playbooks
About us
Every sales team uses AI. Most use it wrong. Your reps paste customer info into ChatGPT, get generic responses, waste time adding context, and still get answers that don't help close deals. BackEngine is ChatGPT built specifically for B2B sales. Unlike generic AI that knows nothing about your business, BackEngine knows everything: - Your actual customer conversations and deal history - Your products, pricing, and competitive positioning - Your playbooks, templates, and battle cards - What's actually working across your best reps This isn't another dashboard or analytics tool. It's AI that helps reps along every part of the deal cycle - drafting emails, strategizing, building proposals, preparing discovery questions, handling objections — all using what's proven to work. The result: - 70% less prep time. - Every rep armed with collective intelligence. - Generic AI chaos replaced with enterprise control. Stop letting your team struggle with AI that doesn't know your business. Give them AI that already knows everything Making every sales rep dangerously effective.

💬 “It’s not just about receiving feedback. It’s about acting on it.” Sue Ramos, MPH, from Viva - Executive Assistants, doesn’t come from a typical CS background. Before leading customer success in tech, she worked in public health, managing crisis communications during Hurricane Maria and researching disease prevention. That experience gave her a powerful mindset: solve the root cause, not just the symptom. In this episode of The Customer Obsession Podcast, Sue shares how she applies this principle to executive success, culture building and feedback systems that actually lead to change. 👉 Watch on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/dn6tXvsB Also available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. #CustomerObsession #CustomerSuccess #Leadership #Feedback #ExecutiveSupport #BackEngineAI

The smartest B2B companies know customer feedback is more than NPS or CSAT. 📉 Surveys give you low response rates and shallow insights. 💡 The real value is in the rich, organic feedback flowing through your calls, tickets, QBRs and everyday conversations. In this SaaS Fuel Podcast episode, Eli Portnoy talks with Jeff Mains about how BackEngine uses AI to turn that constant stream of feedback into actionable data every team can use. If you want to build the right product, for the right customers, and scale faster, customer insight can’t be optional. 🎙 Watch the clip and listen to the full conversation here: https://lnkd.in/gfQYQaMJ #customerobsession #SaaS #voiceofthecustomer #B2B #AI

Highlights from the conversation: ✅ The hidden risks of AI-fueled velocity most teams aren’t talking about ✅ Why async workflows and code governance matter more than ever ✅ How top orgs are rewriting the operating model for software development 🎧 Full episode: https://lnkd.in/drB7gheU Also available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. #CustomerObsession #AI #EngineeringLeadership #TechOps #BackEngineAI
