I am a part of The National Inside Sales teams at Target Media Partners, meaning we call businesses nationwide. ClearSlide gives my team the ability to conduct live presentation with or without a webcam. The webcam is a great way be there without having to physically be there. It also gives you the opportunity to combine a voice recording with a presentation deck and email it to a prospective client. ClearSlide then notifies you when the prospective client is viewing the document and how long they spend on each slide. I actually closed a couple of deals with this feature! It's definitely user friendly on all fronts, but if you need help with any features, ClearSlide has representative to walk you through the process.

Our sales department uses ClearSlide for marketing and sales interactions with potential and current customers. We use ClearSlides' live pitch (screen share) function for reliable client meetings when face-to-face meetings aren't possible. We utilize the analytics provided from marketing emails to target motivated buyers and help eliminate cold prospects. The analytics provided from the marketing emails help save our sales reps time and raise out close rates.

During my time at the AroundCampus Group (Formerly University Directories) our inside sales department used ClearSlide during our renewal period and we also used it for some new sales. I found that ClearSlide was generally easy for me as the presenter to use but often times it was confusing for our customers to get a gauge. My general observation was that they just didn't quite understand the concept of what ClearSlide was trying to do so it took a little bit of explaining. In terms of using ClearSlide in a sales capacity I think it has a market and that is for "new sales". Since most of what I was doing was account management and renewals, going through presentations on ClearSlide really didn't provide much value and often just made the renewal process even longer. It almost forced us to re-pitch our product when we didn't make enough changes to warrant a full presentation. In terms of the new sales we did virtually however, ClearSlide was extremely useful. It allowed us to present to prospects in a time efficient way and allowed us the opportunity to not travel out to the customers.

We used ClearSlide to connect and present to potential partner companies and their employees. ClearSlide is invaluable when thinking about convenience and daily limitations of clients. ClearSlide takes out the commute to the meeting place and allows a person to present in a professional, clean and easy way. You are able to present live, send a presentation and track the viewing.

ClearSlide is used by members of our sales team to present materials to clients and prospective clients. This allows our team to provide a visual walk through proposals and capabilities presentations. Our team also utilizes ClearSlide's conferencing system to connect with multiple clients at once to present this information. ClearSlide makes it easy to send presentations through email as well as track who is viewing the presentation so that we know when to follow up.

We use ClearSlide in Workforce Solutions-our business to business sales team. ClearSlide is used for prospecting new clients and engaging our current customers. In addition, we use ClearSlide for product or service campaigns with our clients and students.

From the field representative perspective, ClearSlide provides visibility into whether or not our message is being received and which part of our messages are more appealing to the audience. The feedback I receive from our representatives is that ClearSlide takes the guessing out of when and how to follow up on messages sent. In addition, they appreciate the tracking feature, it helps them understand where their messages are going within their clients.

From a leadership perspective, ClearSlide provides us valuable analytics into the activity and productivity of our team. We are able to coach through productivity gaps with solid data and share key topics that resonate with our clients to the entire team. My management team also utilizes the Live Pitch to share screens with their representatives regarding specific coaching topics or bottlenecks. We are a virtual workforce so the ability to share data in real time is important to our coaching.

ClearSlide is currently utilized in our Admissions department. We were looking for a technology solution to enhance our student experience as a prospective student was gathering information on their college search.

ClearSlide is used as a way to connect our customers with live pitches of potential service offerings and products that allow our teams to use targeted strategies from their discovery to provide products and services which may benefit our clients. The ability to mark specific points of a presentation, or email a pitch to a client to view on their own time is very beneficial. We can also track open rates, how long a contact has viewed their pitch, as well as the number of time spent on specific slides within a presentation. This allows us to target our business and provide a clear, focused approach with our methodology.

ClearSlide is great because it allows our account executives to deliver clear presentations on the benefits of our cloud based software here at SkySlope. Additionally, I use it multiple times per day to host webinars and in-depth multi-viewer trainings on our own software. It's been invaluable to me and my team to get our clients launched with our own software. Would totally recommend it as it also allows us to host webinars and screenshares with over 100+ participants at a time. Something other screen sharing sites aren't always able to do.

Our Sales department uses ClearSlide to reach out to prospects and leads. The benefit of ClearSlide is the simplicity of sending collateral and being able to track what happens after it is sent. For management, it's the ability to track each salesperson's activity such as time spent on a live demonstration of our product.

It is used across the entire company by the sales department, Sales Ops department and customer service department. We used it for communication with our customers to share screens, teach tools on our platforms and engage customers during presentations. We also use ClearSlide to communicate within our organization for team meetings and knowledge sharing.

ClearSlide is being used across the entire company. I began using it when I first started at CareerBuilder in 2011. I still use ClearSlide today. I believe that when you are telling a story to a client, trying to explain a process, give some imagination to a presentation- it is much earier to have pictures and animation than to just listen over the phone. This insures that your client will stay interactive and engaged in your presentation.

ClearSlide is used by our entire Sales team and Sales Operations. It has proven to be a success as it assists us in having a great insider's view into how our prospects are receiving our presentations and material. I very much enjoy using ClearSlide because it confirms for me if in fact my prospects are engaging with us in the right way and what they/when they see it. I highly recommend ClearSlide to any sales organization.

We use ClearSlide across Dun & Bradstreet / Hoover's, across the New Customer Acquisitions and Account Management channels mainly. It allows us to easily share our databases and jump right into the solution being discussed for a new customer or an account renewal. We are also able to send out email campaigns from nurturing leads to proposals and renewals to white pages for customer learning. It addresses many typical business problems, allowing for transparency when discussing the databases through a quick screen share process (no required downloading of software on the other end or trouble connecting), it also allows for quickly sharing data or documents through live demo or email template, tracking open rates and views or sharing, and even having a personal conference lien for group calls. It is much more than just a screen share program, the more you use it then more success you will have.

ClearSlide allows us to be to first online university to be able to show our prospective student what it might be like to be a student with us. Even before they enroll, with the use of the screen sharing option you know that they are following along and aren't checking their emails or Facebook while you're talking to them. You can show them the details that can be hard to try and explain over the phone. Also being able to know when a prospective student opens an email that you sent in real time is very helpful when you're trying to get a hold of them.
