Jiminny - everything you need to know
Jiminny’s conversation intelligence was created to help teams be their best selves. Find out about our journey so far…
Why Jiminny exists.
We started building the Jiminny platform in 2016 with three founders, a ton of ideas and the drive to make a real difference to sales teams.
Jiminny was created not only because sales and revenue leadership can be tough, but because we believe it doesn’t have to be. By failing to meet the evolving needs of modern revenue teams, companies lose good salespeople.
When managers lack the time or tools to coach, and teams lack the data to understand their prospects and customers, no one works to their full potential.
Creating high-performing teams
Creating a high-performing team starts with the right environment. A workplace and workflow that not only attracts, supports and retains top talent, but also develops and empowers individuals.
That’s where Jiminny comes in. We built our platform to provide teams with the data, visibility and insights they need to win more deals, coach at scale and crush targets - all whilst creating a happy and high-performing environment.
If there are two things we’re most passionate about, it’s our product and people. That’s why so many businesses around the world are using Jiminny's Conversation Intelligence platform to help their teams be the best they can be.
How Jiminny started
Jiminny was created by husband and wife team, Tom and Shelley Lavery, and their long-time friend and colleague, James Graham.
With over 15 years of experience in high-growth VC/PE-backed SaaS companies, Tom Lavery was previously SVP at Reward Gateway, equipped with a wealth of knowledge on building and running successful sales teams.
Shelley Lavery was previously Group SVP of Sales at Reward Gateway, with over a decade of experience in coaching B2B sales teams under her belt.
While James Graham had risen up the ranks to Principal Software Engineer at Reward Gateway, applying his technical expertise to the problems businesses face today with creative solutions.
Together, they saw an opportunity in the conversation intelligence space, to equip every team - from sales and revenue generation through to product and marketing - with a tool that enhances customer interactions and improves the performance of every individual.
