Zoom Video Communications (ZM) has enhanced its sales enablement tools with the launch of the Zoom Auto Dialer and improved Zoom Revenue Accelerator (ZRA), addressing the entire revenue cycle from outreach to deal closure. These innovations incorporate automation and AI to optimize sales workflows. Key features include smart dialing, voicemail drops, and CRM integration with platforms like Salesforce and Outreach, which reduces manual follow-up time and boosts contact rates. New AI functionalities enable accurate meeting transcriptions and tailored sales summaries. Notably, the ZRA now facilitates territory-based structuring for efficient sales team organization.

Although Zoom has improved its security measures, the settlement highlights the importance of data transparency for maintaining shareholder trust.
