Consensus vs. Storylane

I have customers asking me frequently about new functionality that they have no intention of buying. This helps me give them a high level explanation and demo without setting up a separate meeting. If they have additional questions, I can have a more tailored follow up call based on specific questions which makes everyones time more efficient. It is not appropriate for cold outreach.

Storylane is the best platform for creating SaaS product tours to explain the functionality of your product. You can create multiple demos and replace the static non-interactive videos with demos created using Storylane. If there isn't anything functional in the product, consider using videos instead of a demo tour. Also, you can consider videos when visual appeal is a bigger factor than functionality explanation.

• The ability to tailor demos and demoboards to show various functionality of the product.
• We appreciate the features Consensus has to customize demos in various forms.
• The customer service and post-sales trainings the Consensus team has held for our company have been extremely beneficial. I personally appreciated learning how demos are better received when they're not 'perfect'

• Allows you to easily grab the visual assets to create a walk through.
• The analytics that are integrated give you a very specific view of engagement.
• Even the most complex web pages can be saved in Storylane, definitely a robust engine.

Incentivized

• The front-end UX could be improved to look and feel more like a mature SaaS solution
• There's a limited amount of help resources to assist throughout the video building process
• I'd like to see more integrations with broader SaaS solutions to unlock more use cases (i.e. Engaging in group formats, long-form webinars, etc)

• It's not intuitive when I want to modify some of the text in the boxes
• It's difficult when I wanted to copy a slide from one demo and drop it into another demo. It's never worked properly and this seems like it should be a relatively easy technical lift to offer - also it doesn't say that it won't work, it just simply made a mess of my slides.

Consensus has been a valuable and vital sales tool at every stage of our sales cycle. In the very early stages of prospect education, you can send videos to get them familiar and up to speed with our product without a solution consultant's involvement. It is also a very powerful tool at the later stages of the sales cycle, with the ability to tailor demos and intro videos and record exec alignment itro videos, which we have had great success with

It only took me a matter of minutes to onboard myself to Consensus and start utilizing it with my clients. The platform is very simple to set up and straight forward to use. Most platforms take time to learn how to use and navigate but Consensus was very easy to pick up and use as a first time user.

Very easy to use as the extension integrates very well and is easy to setup in less than a day. The documentation provided also has very useful links that are easy to understand and implement. The CS team is also very proactive in helping setup and solve for queries if they do arise

None. Consensus has been my first exposure to long-form demo/content delivered besides using zoom to record a demo and then sharing a link with my prospect. Consensus has changed the game in regards to how I engage with prospects from a product perspective

Storylane seems very comparable to Walnut in terms of functionality and ease of navigation in the tool. I'm using a full sandbox experience in Walnut, so it's not quite apples to apples, but the basic functionality is similar. I used product tool tips, AI text-to-speech, and screen capture in similar manners with similar results.

Incentivized

• I closed 3 deals last year by prospects using Consensus and finding additional modules they wanted to purchase.
• Consensus speed up the buying process in 6 of my deals last year to close in quarter.
• Consensus saved me time from doing additional live demos.

• I cannot attest to the ROI as I created Storylanes for my company shortly before making a career change. I anticipate that it will shorten the sales cycle as it will help champions convince decision makers who were not present during a live demo.
