Pick My Brain with Alan Jones NB
About Neel Bhattacharya
Neel Bhattacharya is the founder of LeadTrackAI, an Australian platform that uses an AI voice agent, SMS and email to contact new inbound leads as soon as they enquire, qualify them and book appointments for sales teams. LeadTrackAI started with solar and battery installers and has since moved into automotive and real estate. It also powers lead follow-up for Solar AI, a Melbourne growth agency for solar businesses.
Before founding the company, she spent more than a decade in product management in the energy sector.
On Pick My Brain with Alan Jones, she talked about the pressures of being a solo founder, why documenting a sales process matters as much as building the product, and whether to go deeper into solar and automotive or expand into new industries.
