Sales Teams Optimize Product Recommendations, Ensure Compliance, and Stand Out in Competitive Markets

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Nesh, the Sales AI platform for chemicals, materials, and advanced manufacturing, today launched new generative AI workflows to help sales teams quickly match products to customer requirements, ensure regional regulatory compliance, and differentiate products in competitive markets.

This release furthers Nesh’s mission to equip commercial teams with generative AI — enhancing customer conversations, increasing sales velocity, and accelerating revenue. A recent BCG Research study found that companies leading in AI investments see 1.5x higher revenue returns than their competitors by focusing on targeted, high-impact use cases.

“2025 will be the year companies move beyond experimentation with generative AI to focus on tools that deliver real ROI,” said Sidd Gupta, CEO of Nesh. “Our new AI workflows are purpose-built to help chemicals, materials, and advanced manufacturing companies tackle complex revenue challenges with tailored solutions, ensuring measurable value and a competitive advantage.”

Generative AI Workflows and the Future of Chemicals, Materials, and Advanced Manufacturing Sales

Nesh’s generative AI workflows revolutionize how sales teams in the chemicals, materials, and advanced manufacturing industries operate, enabling them to navigate complexity with precision, speed, and confidence:

Portfolio Optimization with Tailored Product Recommendations: Sales representatives leverage Nesh’s advanced product finder to identify the right product for specific technical applications or source an alternative product when facing regulatory or supply chain constraints. With increasingly vast, complex, or specialized product portfolios, sales teams benefit from precise product positioning to meet customer expectations.ESG and Regulatory Compliance: The Nesh Regulatory and Compliance Queries analyze product data, technical data sheets (TDS), and safety data sheets (SDS) against regulatory requirements to instantly flag potential compliance issues. The workflows act as real-time compliance checks, helping sales reps ensure products meet regional and customer-specific standards instantly.Competitive Product Differentiation: The Nesh Product Comparison Workbook extracts key data points from portfolio or competitive products to generate a standardized comparison. Complex information is simplified into customer-specific requirements, unique value propositions, and critical differentiators for specific use cases or applications.

Transforming Revenue Operations and Customer Service Standards with Generative AI

Colorcon is a global leader in specialty film coatings, excipients, controlled-release formulations, and packaging for the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries, serving over 4,500 companies worldwide. The company recently engaged Nesh to supplement their commercial and technical teams by quickly suggesting relevant products and solutions to accelerate customer communication and deal progression.

With recent advancements in Generative AI, Colorcon’s vast product portfolio provided a strategic opportunity to rethink how their field sales teams leverage product data from their technical experts. Colorcon’s Innovation Team engaged Nesh to support the sales process by simplifying solution recommendations for each customer use case, helping customers achieve their objectives faster.

“For more than 60 years, Colorcon has been committed to using new technology and innovation to deliver advanced, safe, and sustainable solutions across the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries,” said Ali Rajabi-Siahboomi, Colorcon Vice President & Chief Innovation Officer. “We are excited to leverage Nesh Sales AI to fully harness the data within our product portfolio to enhance and accelerate our commercial team’s ability to serve the needs of customers.”

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

Published

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
