Built for better decisions

Explain the number

See the true health of each deal and understand what changed in the forecast and why.

Protect revenue

Identify risks early, including: opportunities losing steam, missing stakeholders, or weak engagement.

Focus the team

Prioritize the deals that will move results, adjust coverage, and guide coaching conversations.

Moving revenue from reactive to predictable

Answers across every revenue signal

From pipeline development to forecasting and renewals, we deliver contextual answers grounded in real activity — not assumptions.

Built into the way you already work

Backstory sits across your existing stack — CRM, email, meetings, and product signals — turning disconnected activity into clear answers about deal health and pipeline risk.

Trained on billions of revenue signals

Over nine years and billions of deals, Backstory has learned the patterns behind revenue success — so leaders can see risk earlier and know what to do next.

Red Hat

We've been delighted with our People.ai partnership. The People.ai team has been instrumental in helping us see the product's full potential and how it can impact our sellers' process throughout the buyer journey. For instance, we started off only thinking about automation, deal health, and opportunity tracking. We quickly learned there's so much more People.ai could do to support the entire revenue cycle.

With People.ai data, we’re discussing with our sales enablement training team and senior leadership to leverage the insights for better planning and execution. Now that we see what’s going on in the field, we know what we need to work on for sales coverage or finding the right people for these roles.

Eric Chapman
Vice President Sales Operations and Enablement
Hexagon

People.ai has been instrumental in helping us identify gaps that need to be filled. For instance, if reps aren’t in a multi-threaded deal with stakeholders, People.ai can flag that, which allows us to take action and have discussions like ‘Who do we need to get multi-threaded with?
