Interview: Ido Bornstein-HaCohen, CEO of Conversocial

Author: Victor Antonio January 17, 2020 Duration: 27:13

This is a great AI conversation with Bornstein-HaCohen who joined Conversocial as COO in 2017 to oversee all commercial operations. Before coming on board, he achieved significant success growing and scaling companies with more than 15 years of experience in executive leadership positions at LivePerson, a leading Salesforce Consultancy and SAP. In early 2019, he was appointed Conversocial's president, expanding his responsibilities to include product and engineering oversight.


Victor Antonio hosts the Sales Influence Podcast, a resource for professionals navigating a marketplace where customers arrive armed with more information and inherent doubt. The core of the conversation revolves around a central idea: "Finding the Why in How Clients Buy." This isn't about rehearsed pitches or pressure tactics. Instead, episodes dissect the underlying psychological drivers and decision-making processes that actually lead to a purchase. Antonio leverages insights from consumer behavior research and neuromarketing, translating complex studies into practical strategies. Listeners will hear how subconscious biases, emotional triggers, and cognitive shortcuts shape buyer journeys, providing a framework to connect and persuade with greater integrity and effectiveness. The discussions are grounded in real-world application, aiming to equip salespeople, entrepreneurs, and business leaders with a deeper understanding that moves beyond traditional methods. This podcast operates on the premise that influence stems from empathy and insight, not just presentation. By exploring the science behind the sale, it offers a thoughtful perspective for anyone in a role that requires convincing others, making the content relevant across the business and entrepreneurship spectrum. Tune in for analysis that reframes how you think about your client's motivations and your own approach to the commercial conversation.
