Why Revenue Teams Stop Using Generic LLMs for QBRs
Generic AI tools are free. They're easy to access. They can draft content. So why do revenue teams abandon them for Steerco? Because drafting is the easy part. Everything else is the problem.
2+ Hours of Editing for Every Output
ChatGPT and Generic LLMs give you a draft. Then you spend two hours editing it. Formatting it. Adding your branding. Fixing the structure. Making it presentable. The AI did 20% of the work. You still did 80%. Steerco outputs executive-ready presentations. No editing. No formatting. Ready to present the moment it's generated.
The Prompt Skill Gap Is Killing Consistency
Your best prompter gets great results from Claude. Everyone else gets generic outputs. You end up with wildly inconsistent customer experiences based on which rep happens to be better at talking to AI. Steerco delivers the same quality regardless of who uses it. No skill gap. No variability.
Explaining Context Every Single Time
Every ChatGPT conversation starts from zero. Who is this customer? What are their goals? What happened last quarter? What does their usage look like? You spend more time providing context than you save on drafting. Steerco connects to 150+ data sources. Context is automatic. Every time.
QBRs Still Feel Generic
You're using AI for your QBRs. But they still feel templated. Still feel like they could be for any customer. That's because Generic LLMs like Claude don't know your customers. They don't have their data. ChatGPT can only work with what you paste into the chat. Steerco builds presentations from live customer data. Every QBR feels specific because it is specific.
Copy/Paste Workflow Is Exhausting
Open Perplexity/Gemini. Open your CRM. Copy customer data. Paste into chat. Generate output. Copy output. Open PowerPoint. Paste. Format. Repeat. LLM tools never connects to your actual work. Steerco embeds into your workflow. No copying. No pasting. No switching between tabs.
General-Purpose AI Doesn't Understand Your Job
Generic LLMs (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Grok) write poems, debug code, and answer trivia. They can also draft a QBR outline. But they don't understand what makes a good business review. LLMs don't know revenue workflows. These tools are a generalist doing a specialist's job. Steerco was built for GTM teams. Every feature exists because revenue professionals need it.
For Revenue Teams Tired of Editing AI Outputs
Choose Steerco. Generic AI gives you drafts. You spend 2+ hours editing, formatting, and making them presentable. Steerco gives you executive-ready presentations. No editing. No formatting. Ready to present the moment it's generated.
For GTM Teams Struggling with the Prompt Skill Gap
Choose Steerco. Some team members get great results from ChatGPT. Others struggle. Output quality varies wildly. Steerco delivers the same quality regardless of who uses it. No prompt engineering required. No skill gap. Consistent excellence across your entire team.
For Revenue Teams Who Need Customer Context Automatically
Choose Steerco. Generic LLMs like Claude start every conversation from zero. You explain context. You copy data. You paste information. Steerco connects to 150+ data sources. Customer context is automatic. Every presentation starts with full context without you lifting a finger.
For GTM Teams Who Want Strategic Planning Built In
Choose Steerco. ChatGPT (or Gemini) drafts text. It doesn't manage customer outcomes. If you need living success plans, goal tracking, and presentations that connect to your strategic planning workflow, generic AI can't help. Steerco is a complete customer success platform, not just a text generator.
For Revenue Teams Who Need Customer Intelligence
Choose Steerco. Generic AI has no access to your customer data or external market signals. Steerco combines 150+ internal signals with external intelligence: press releases, 10-Ks, funding rounds, leadership changes. Surface expansion opportunities and renewal risks that Generic AL will never see.
For General Tasks and Non-Customer-Facing Work
Consider generic AI. ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok and Claude are excellent for brainstorming, writing internal emails, answering general questions, and drafting non-customer-facing content. They're free, accessible, and powerful for general-purpose tasks. But when the output goes to a customer, use Steerco.
