FAQ

Investment banking questions.

Which option is right for my team?

If you have a CRM and tools you like and need better timing, start with In-Market Data. If you know your market but do not have time to prospect, start with Agent Sam. If your contacts, outreach, and deals are spread across tools, start with Sam OS.

What does in-market mean in investment banking?

A company most likely to need a banker in the months ahead: a raise, an acquisition, an exit, or a refinancing. Sam weighs many signals for your coverage and products, and ranks who is most likely in-market.

Does it work for capital raises, M&A advisory, and debt?

Yes. Sam is tuned to your products. Capital markets teams see companies most likely to raise, advisory teams see companies most likely to pursue an acquisition or exit, and debt teams see companies most likely to refinance.

Can In-Market Data go into my own CRM?

Yes. In-Market Data integrates with the system of your choice, such as Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics, Pipedrive, Zoho, your dialer, or a spreadsheet. Or send it to Agent Sam or Sam OS and let Sam reach out for you. The option is yours, and you can use both.

Can I keep my current CRM?

Yes. In-Market Data can feed your CRM or dialer. Agent Sam works alongside Salesforce, HubSpot, and others. On Sam OS, we help you import your contacts and history.

How is In-Market Data priced?

Per market, because every market is different. Each market has a limited number of seats, and some are already spoken for. A short discovery call settles it, and you see your market before you decide.

Does anything go out without my approval?

No. Agent Sam drafts every message and waits for you. Approve one at a time or in batches.

Can I start with one and add the others?

Yes. Many teams start with one and add the others later. Moving from Agent Sam to Sam OS keeps your Playbooks, contacts, and campaigns.
