Ask any account executive what slows them down, and you’ll hear the same answer again and again: internal chaos. The bigger and more complex the opportunity, the more people are involved behind the scenes – each with different needs, timelines, and communication styles.

When internal handovers, repeated updates, and scattered context slow everything down, selling suffers. Meander helps you uncover where active selling time gets lost – and shows you how to win it back through smarter collaboration and targeted improvements.
