A huge game changer for SCsSEs

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

One really helpful use case of Saleo is when our primary points of contacts need to pitch our software to the ultimate decision maker and the decision maker was not available for prior demos. Saleo is critical in providing a guided demo that they can use to really deliver the message they are intending

Pros

  • giving champions an easy to use demo without getting lost
  • in rare events of back end issues, Saleo is critical as it allows us to demo without interruption
  • helps POCs come to life!

Cons

  • My biggest feedback was being able to add in additional click through screens after a tour was created. I was pleasantly surprised to see that this feature was already rolled out the last time I logged in.
  • a more interactive training experience could be beneficial for first time users.
  • a public facing roadmap or email of newly released features on a recurring basis could be helpful

Return on Investment

  • So far I have used Saleo for 2 of my opps and have a successful 2/2 win rate. I am close to going 3 for 3 as I am writing this. average ACV across all 3 are in the low 6 figures.

Great tool to streamline my work to clients co-workers

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Saleo has helped enable more than just Sales engineers to be able to demo our product. Our product demonstration hinges on the story that data tells and to manually get our product to have that data without Saleo was incredibly time consuming. i use Saleo for in person presentations in order to showcase our product in a way that looks live and is really easy to create. I also use Saleo to send examples of our product to our clients and create bespoke and custom experiences. i also love that I have all of these tours to easily share internally to examplify the work that i have done. i create a ton of custom environments that I do not want to lose my efforts on and is now memorialized in a Saleo tour.

Pros

  • Augment data
  • Create live-like demo tours
  • Ease of demoing

Cons

  • Customizing tokens
  • Create tours more quickly
  • Organizing tours easily

Return on Investment

  • Manual labor cost
  • Ability to turn on a dime with our product functionality and keeping tours up to date
  • Not worrying about data

Pixel perfect demo's for our sales team

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As Chief Product Officer, I was tasked with figuring out a better demo environment for our sales team. Our internal teams use our software, so for a while, we demoed out of our production instance. That production account became problematic to keep clean and organized. Taking engineering resources away from our roadmap to create a demo environment was not an option. Our CRO rejected the idea of recorded videos and our CTO rejected making a coping of our environment for security reasons.

We tried Saleo because it's using a real production account with no fake URL's. The amount of prep time our SolCon team spends building a custom demo went from hours to minutes. Our velocity team can grab an industry template and show the prospect our product in the context of their business. One of the side benefits that I did not expect is the product marketing team uses Saleo for new features and release marketing.

Pros

  • 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.

Cons

  • 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.

Most Important Features

  • Template Sharing
  • Personalization Strings
  • Table editing

Return on Investment

  • 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
