COMCAST CELEBRATES DIVERSITY IN OREGON/SW WASHINGTON, PROVIDES OPPORTUNITY FOR SMALL BUSINESSES OWNED BY WOMEN AND PEOPLE OF COLOR

Comcast Oregon / SW Washington

The deadline to apply for the next round of Comcast RISE awards is June 17th. Comcast RISE is a multi-year, multi-faceted initiative launched to strengthen small businesses hard hit by COVID-19. Oregon/SW Washington small businesses owned by people of color and women are encouraged to apply for the chance to receive consulting, media, and creative production services from Effectv, the advertising sales division of Comcast Cable, or technology makeovers from Comcast Business, based on their specific needs. According to a 2020 study by the National Association of Women Business Owners, 42% of businesses in the U.S. are owned by women, with more than 1,800 new businesses being started every day. That’s nearly five times the national average. However, according to the same study, women-owned businesses are growing at only half the rate of those run by men, namely because women struggle to access capital and other resources to help them succeed. Additionally, according to the United States Census, in 2019, more than 1 million employer businesses in the United States were minority-owned. Since the program’s inception, Comcast announced nearly 50 Oregon/SW Washington small businesses as Comcast RISE recipients. Royalty Spirits, a Portland-based adult beverage business owned by entrepreneur Chaunci King, received a customized technology makeover from Comcast RISE. “The State of Oregon loosened some of the laws about selling online, so we started to use social media for our marketing and Comcast RISE provided us the equipment, service, and phone lines we need to thrive.” Comcast RISE, which stands for Representation, Investment, Strength, and Empowerment, is part of Project UP, Comcast’s comprehensive initiative to advance digital equity and help provide underrepresented small business owners with access to the digital tools and funding they need to thrive. Over the next 10 years, Comcast is committing $1 billion to programs, like Comcast RISE, and partnerships to reach an estimated 50 million people with the skills, opportunities, and resources they need to succeed in an increasingly digital world. In its first year alone, Comcast RISE provided more than $60 million in grants, marketing, and technology services to more than 6,700 small businesses owned by people of color - including Black, Indigenous, Hispanic, and Asian Americans. More information and the applications to apply for marketing and technology services are available at www.ComcastRISE.com. # # # ABOUT COMCAST CORPORATION: Comcast Corporation (Nasdaq: CMCSA) is a global media and technology company that connects people to moments that matter.

SaaS Labs launches hotly anticipated Dialworks to help sales teams get battle-tested

SaaS Labs

Training sales teams is arguably the most important part of any business strategy, yet it remains a time intensive and expensive exercise for teams in all companies. According to HBR, US companies spend over $70 billion annually on training, and an average of $1,459 per salesperson, only to generate disappointing ROI. Meanwhile, Gartner research suggests that sales reps forget 70% of the information they learn within a week of training, and 87% will forget it within a month. Today, SaaS Labs has launched the highly anticipated Dialworks, a sales acceleration platform to help teams get sales-ready faster. Through calls on Dialworks platform, leaders can test their reps' sales readiness in real world scenarios. SaaS Labs, makes solutions fit for the sales and customer support community in businesses around the world. Having powered tens of millions of phone calls for sales and support teams with their category leading cloud phone platform JustCall, sales training was the next big challenge on the horizon for SaaS Labs. “We found the sales training approach in companies today remains archaic and an old school style classroom playbook approach. This method isn’t fit for purpose in 2022 and no one is really spotlighting this or innovating in the space other than moving from text learning to video-based learning” commented Gaurav Sharma, CEO of SaaS Labs. “We’ve taken it upon ourselves to address the issue and create Dialworks to offer a relevant alternative to teams around the world to harness their sales talent. Using insights from our over 6,000 customers who use our customer support product JustCall, we identified that sales training was a huge issue in addressing customer needs. We analyzed thousands of calls, call analytics and rep performance and found that the only way to improve selling was to create training tools that ramped up learning by mimicking an actual workflow as closely as possible. Dialworks emerged from this insight with a clear aim of creating a sales coaching program that actually works and delivers for teams.” Dialworks is an on-demand sales training platform that replicates real-life scenarios for sales reps to train and upskill. With Dialworks, reps can connect with customers just like theirs, deliver pitches and get actionable feedback to improve. From objection handling and analytics to tailoring training regimens, the platform is aimed to help sales coaches do it all including: Eliminate hundreds of manager man hours wasted in mock calls Mimic real call scenarios replicating the job environment Monitor performance and get customer feedback at scale on pitching skills Generate tailored insights to help design better training programs Share feedback at scale and eliminate biases in hiring Tim Bauer, Senior Vice President at Allied Restoration Services added: “I absolutely loved the first release and can't wait to try out the successive releases. Dialworks gives an exposure to how things are like in the field and helps trainees feel and be productive and proficient in a much shorter training cycle. It saves thousands of hours for my top sellers which would otherwise be spent in helping new reps learn the ropes. The key thing it offers is the immediate feedback loop on their performance and helps them improve faster instead of wasting time on ineffective textbook techniques”.
