Your AI teammate for group sales
Hippo Mate does the 70% of group sales that's pure admin — capture, build, answer, chase — so your Director of Sales spends 100% of their time closing. He works the deal while your team sleeps.
Captured RFP — Acme Sales Kickoff
Built proposal & ranked priorities
Answered planner — attrition policy
Flagged hot — Gartner reopened pricing
All inquiries handled. Gartner just reopened pricing and forwarded it to procurement — good moment to reach out.
Mate captures 100% of incoming RFPs the moment they land — email, Cvent, or your booking portal — and reads what each planner actually needs.
Hand off the busywork. Mate builds the proposal, answers planner questions, and chases the follow-up — autonomously, around the clock.
Faster responses, sharper proposals, and perfect timing on follow-up. Your team closes more, with a fraction of the admin.
