Turn your CRO strategy into winning behaviors across your team

Zime turns each part of your CRO strategy, like cross-sell or deal registration, into the right behavior for every AE, SE, CS, and partner. Built from your tribal knowledge.

The strategy execution gap

Every shift in CRO strategy needs a shift in behaviors

Zime has 1,200+ proven behaviors for every part of your strategy, across 35+ seller roles.

The gap

You don't have the behaviors to run your strategy

Technical demos

  • AEs don't hand off the tech stack and pain point
  • SEs don't run the same demo
  • Follow-ups don't set the technical next step

Close the strategy execution gap, and see it in your deals

Zime tracks the behavior, the buyer's response, and the deal, so you can fix it in pipeline review before the quarter is gone.

  • See who ran each behavior

    A behavior reaching a rep does not show the rep ran it.

  • See how buyers responded

    Record it separately from the rep's activity.

  • See where deals moved

    Progressed, stalled, or moved backward, to inform coaching.
