Consensus vs. Walnut

Most recently, my team has wanted to convey the ease of use of our product and with its many facets. With this in mind we made a targeted demoboard for our sales team to help during disco/pre-sales. This has allowed my team to then tailor live demos based on the performance of the demo.

Great for SaaS companies looking to demo their products. We use it on sales calls and send it afterward. It can also be used before booking demos to show to potential customers, or by customer success to create a self-guided tour of a product. The customization options are great, as is the ease of creating demos.

• allows you to edit and trim videos
• tracks who opens and watches videos and how much time spent on video
• Great educational tool, create libraries of ligature

Incentivized

• Relatively easy to create demos
• Analytics
• Sharing

• Sometimes navigation could be clearer
• New users adding to the system to be easier
• more notification when received and read by customers

• Some of the UX around the demo creation is still a bit janky. For example, your work does not save automatically - you need to be constantly saving it or all your work will be lost.
• The organization of all of the demos is improving, but things still get lost.
• Ideally it would be easier to replace certain attributes in bulk.

Videos had been recorded using platforms previously but the distribution of these videos was often uncontrolled and untraceable. Consensus provides a platform where we can control, distribute and track shared content. It also allows us to build up stakeholder maps based on video engagement. The platform provided means we no longer have to choose what communication send out with the video; as the platform manages that aspect.

Previously we created clickable demos in InDesign and XD. While clickable, they were nowhere near as realistic as Walnut, they lacked analytics, couldn't be customized, and they needed a designer to keep them updated. With Walnut, we can also add or remove features in a demo depending on what the customers' needs are.

• good impact by closing the deal cycle quicker
• opened new avenues for items customers not previously considered
• allows insight into other unforseen stakeholders in the DMP - multithreading

Incentivized

• Previously, our demos were often out of date. This led to less satisfied customers buying things that weren't quite what we had. Customers now have a better idea of what to expect.
