We use Clearslide to house all our marketing material as well as track activity against specific collateral when it is sent externally. Clearslide is being used primarily by our sales and marketing teams. The platform allows us to control the material that are sales team uses in their pitches and ensure they are only using the most current and relevant collateral.

I use ClearSlide regularly to put together presentations for clients. ClearSlide makes it easy to create presentations that can be shared with clients with a simple link creation. The ability to pull slides from other presentations and simply hide or show selected slides for a specific client saves tons of time when it comes to sending material to clients.

Clearslide is our one-stop shop for all things file sharing. We often need to share multiple proposal iterations or large files with clients, both big and small, and Clearslide allows a simple way to do that without tripping any email filters or firewalls. In addition, Clearslide provides solid intel about who opens each file, at what time, and from where, which allows our sales team and client services team additional intel on how we service and reach out to clients and prospects.

Clearslide has been a lifesaver for my company since we decided to purchase it. It is used by our marketing and sales planning teams to start our sales process, and then our sales team and client services team to seal the deal. We use it to house all of our sales and pre-sales materials, making it an easy one-stop-shop for any document our teams need. Everything is simple to find in easy to search locations, making our process smooth, and each team has an easy time using it.

It is only being used by the sales org to help determine how long clients are spending on certain slides in presentation decks/sales decks we send out. It is helpful because you can see how engaged the client is with the material we send over.

We used Clearslide to present our product to customers and to train customers. We wanted something that allowed for easy screenshare to engage our prospects, and we also were interested in some of the analytics it provided that told us how engaged potential customers were.

Clearslide is used to communicate with prospective students via email and on live demonstrations via the web. We used the data to track engagement of students with the material we sent them and that would help us gauge interaction and buy-in for the sale. This also gave us confidence in our presentations to the student because we would be able to tell where they were focused on as far as information is concerned and mold our sales presentations around that topic or subject.

We use ClearSlide to publish PowerPoint/Google slides presentations for clients to review. We track who has viewed it, so we know who to follow up with. We also track where the viewer is from, what their email address is, what their title is and we use all of that information in a follow-up email.

It was being used across the company sales teams. It helped to make sure that our clients were thoroughly reading their proposals that we sent them via email, and we could see which pages were most closely scrutinized. This allowed us to address their concerns right away without having to probe too deeply.

CS is primarily being utilized by our revenue teams as a way to quickly access content and share collateral with prospects or current clients. A select number of research team members also utilize the platform to quickly send collateral to prospects or clients. CS is intended to streamline access of content across multiple revenue verticals and to track client engagement with collateral sent to them as part of the sales process. Our revenue teams also use CS as a conference line and presentation platform for client-facing meetings.

Clearslide provides a place where our corporate marketing can place marketing and approved sales assets like presentations, videos, surveys, contracts, etc and allows sales access in a variety of ways. One can send in an email or campaign of multiple emails and track the use of each asset. Probably the most compelling use for Clearslide is presenting the assets. Clearslide can allow you to present to an audience of people without having to deal with WebEx/GoToMeeting download necessary for your attendees. They simply click on your URL and they are at the conference. As someone who has spent years around WebEx and other Web conferencing programs this is a huge advantage. The business problem we face is we need to gauge the trustworthiness of our prospects to view and share our information with their teams. Prior to Clearslide, we had no way to verify they were viewing or sharing our materials in the way we would ask. Clearslide measures the view time and tracks the view time of each page of the materials even when forwarded from original recipients. All in all, if your business needs to control the marketing materials for a large group, to ensure consistency in branding and messaging this is a perfect solution and salespeople will love how easy it is to present to prospects.

ClearSlide is being used by the Sales department as a content management tool. The sales team uses it to store email templates, track clicks/opens on emails sent, and to share content among peers. This addresses the issue of having to generate a new email every time you need to send an email or respond to one. This tool also helped us share successful email templates easily

The Professional Diversity Network uses ClearSlide specifically for our Business Development Team. It allows the team to easily and efficiently hold business meetings with current and prospective customers and outline how they would be able to utilize our services. The email functionality is also something that is widely used as it allows the team to see gain insight as to who and when customers are viewing our sales materials.

ClearSlide is being used in our sales department and I believe several markets across our enterprise (not just Raleigh) have access to ClearSlide as well. Account executives, managers, and even our regional leaders are encouraged to use it as much as possible. The idea is to use ClearSlide for sending larger presentations to clients that are not in-market. Another benefit is to have real-time knowledge of when your proposal is being looked at, by who and what slides are a focus. That gives us, as salespeople, an edge up.

Clearslide is used by the inside sales team. It helped us with a few things:
  • Mass emailing to our clients
  • Screen sharing for our demos
  • A hub for documents across the floor
  • A hub of email templates across the floor
  • Being able to see who has opened our emails and what they viewed

I use Clearslide to facilitate both in person and remote slide deck presentations and demonstrations of our product. We also use Clearslide for conference calls and other presentations. I spend an equal amount of time in the office as well as selling in the field and use the Clearslide remote control app on my phone to run through slide decks in person with prospective clients.

ClearSlide is a tool we utilize across our organization. Sales are probably the heaviest user of this tool. ClearSlide is the platform we use when presenting to prospecting clients, sharing materials internally within meetings, and to create links that track the views of pieces of collateral we are sharing with prospective clients. The main business problem it solves is related to sharing/presenting materials.

Our organization uses ClearSlide in sales and account management roles. The inside sales team are the primary users. While our outside sales team also use it when managing larger territories outside of major metro areas. I've personally used it in the Greater Boston region for 2+ years to reduce the amount of time spent driving to visit clients.

We use Clearslide primarily to give online presentations, screenshare demonstrations, and to send trackable links to marketing collateral. Clearslide is used by the sales team, both Account Executives and Sales Development Reps, at every stage of the sales cycle. The trackable links allow SDRs to gauge interest in content sent. They easy to use presentation links allow AEs to quickly give demos and presentations at a moments notice without the prospect or client having to download any software or log into anything. It's a super easy and quick way to show off our products.

ClearSlide is being used by our entire sales department. It helps accelerate the sales process by identifying which prospects are engaged and which are not. It allows me to allocate my time more efficiently and dedicate further resources knowing which leads need more attention.
