Saleo vs. SharperAx

Saleo is well suited for SaaS businesses who want their SolCon and Sales teams to demo out of a real production account, not a fake one. With Saleo our commercial sales team can easily select an Industry template and go...literally no prep to show the product with industry data. Our SolCon team can build out a custom demo with the customer's data in a few minutes. There is also a sharing feature, so if someone built something cool they can share it with everyone. Also, our product marketing team has started using it for screenshots and videos.

SharperAx is great for a larger, distributed sales team with lots of messaging and content. It does not seem as appropriate for a commodity product which is mostly price driven.

Incentivized

• Industry Templates that can be easily shared and used by sales
• Creation of custom demo's by Sales Engineers in minutes
• Reducing prep time for demos. Click on a template and go.

• Creating a curriculum for training

• Crowdsourcing of best videos through the creation by the team and promotion of best videos.

• When we first rolled out, it was hard to changing a data point in multiple places quickly. This was just fixed by the roll out of personalization strings.
• We have very complex tables. At first the table editor needed some help handling the nesting. The newest release of Saleo fixed the issue we had.

• SFDC integration could be tighter.
• Better ratings on videos to allow more crowdsourcing.

Our CRO did not like using video recordings. He felt that would backfire on us. Our CTO would not allow us to make a copy of our application or it's data, so most of these solutions were eliminated. Saleo is the only solution that lets you demo out of a production account with no videos or copies of your data

None. I have not seen anything like it.

Incentivized

• We've reduced prep time for demo's by hours per demo
• Our commercial sales (velocity business) now demo's on their own with no help from SolCon
• For large enterprise deals, we create a custom demo every time now. That was not possible before Saleo

• All positive. Sales team ramps faster, resulting in quicker time to revenue for a sales rep.
• New messaging training is faster resulting in more effective sales.
