Saleo vs. Walnut

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.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

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

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.

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

• Previously, our demos were often out of date.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.
