SalesCrunch Launches DontSuckAtMeetings to Share Worst Practices of Meetings

Meetings suck. But you don’t have to suck at them, that’s SalesCrunch’s stance.

NEW YORK (April 10, 2012) — New York-based start-up SalesCrunch today announced the launch of a new site called DontSuckAtMeetings.com, an online community for people to share their awful experiences in meetings to help others not suck so much.

Recently, SalesCrunch released an infographic by the same name that caught the attention of a whole lot of people. Twitter was ablaze for the better part of a week and several media outlets and bloggers crafted stories around the eye-opening figures SalesCrunch published with respect to how much time and money is spent on meetings.

The infographic was based on more than 10,000 meetings hosted on SalesCrunch’s next-generation online meeting platform over a period of 18 months ending February 2012. It was just a taste of the kind of customer-specific meeting data that SalesCrunch captures and shares with its business and enterprise customers. Others may call it best practices. SalesCrunch calls it meeting intelligence.

When asked about the company’s motivation behind DontSuckAtMeetings, SalesCrunch’s head of marketing, Jay Chalnick, offered the following:

“Meetings suck. But our mission at SalesCrunch is to help customers not suck at them. To that end, we make a wealth of practical and customer-specific meeting intelligence available to users. At the same time, we like having fun. Did you happen to catch our tender offer to acquire WebEx for a buck? DontSuckAtMeetings was created in the same vein as FMyLife, a popular community for users to share anecdotes about the unfortunate experiences that occur in life. Similarly, DontSuckAtMeetings has been created for all the poor souls who have ever been subjected to excruciatingly boring, inefficient or downright humiliating meetings. And considering that’s most everyone, we anticipate that DontSuckAtMeetings will be a popular site to share experiences and tips regarding what not to do in meetings.”

Backed by Accel Partners, First Round Capital, Nextview Ventures and AOL Ventures, SalesCrunch is a next-generation meeting platform focused on applying science to the art of selling. The company offers a software-free, social, and scalable solution that helps track and measure customer interactions and sentiment across a company, makes selling transparent and empowers organizations to meet the demands of a new generation of buyers to power profits.
