Challenge
The stranger on the other end of the line
Today, as trends show the increase in moving outside sales teams to inside sales teams every year, sales people are now faced with the challenge of creating connections with their prospects via the Internet and phone. How do they maintain the personal approach that was once generated by in-person meetings? How do they adequately portray the importance of their product to a client sight-unseen? Nick Mandelstein, Account Executive, Strategic Accounts for SurveyMonkey Audience, faced these same challenges prior to his team’s adoption of ClearSlide.
Solution
Making warm connections in the cold world of inside sales
ClearSlide’s tool SurveyMonkey had been searching to help give it’s inside sales team the upper hand in these virtual interactions. The ClearSlide platform closed the gap created for remote selling by increasing customer engagement.
“It is a foolproof way for inside sales people to present and walk through our presentations and collateral. It has changed the way I interact with customers,†says Brent Chudoba, VP & GM, Surveymonkey audience.
Result
Now an avid ClearSlide user, Nick has seen positive results far exceeding his increased ability to engage customers. The platform enables him to have insight into what is happening with his collateral once it leaves his hands.
“When I was first starting out I didn’t know what content would be helpful for customers, now I am able to see which sections they find to be beneficial and adjust my presentations accordingly.â€
As a result, ClearSlide saves Nick time as he is now able to send out more relevant content to more prospects.
