ShoDeck Reviews

BuyerDeck makes it easy to quickly share content, gather relevant materials or supporting documents, and engage with your prospects. It removes manual processes to help sales reps automate their follow up, quickly tailor messaging, and see what is relevant or impactful to their buyers. It saves so much time allowing for instant follow up on calls/meetings, and makes it easy to keep buyers engaged throughout a sales cycle. Also fantastic for getting more stakeholders engaged at companies and mapping out the org chart.

I'm sure they're on the roadmap, but more integrations to marketing, CRM, and tools like LInkedIn would be great additions to the solution.

Faster follow up with prospects. Providing industry insights and solution content quickly and easily. More engagement and visibility into the prospects buying process.

I like the fact that it allows my account executive team to drive the sale in a structured digital format.

Not really a dislike, but would like more opportunities for webinars for new product releases so that 1. my team can get up to speed and implement the change and I think it would be a great opportunity for you guys to invite new prospects.

You have nothing to lose with a trial....

Simply keeping the digital content of the sale in one easy place with no excuses for lost material. a benefit is that it keeps the prospects accountable.

We love that we can align our sales process to the content and needs of our customers as well as keep all the information in one place. It gives our customers and team members complete visibility into what has happened and what next steps are for our prospects/customers as they engage with us. It also allows our product team to understand the content that is getting used and what is useful for our prospects/customers.

I would like continued integration with CRM solutions like Salesforce, Dynamics, etc.

This platform allows us to train our team on the selling process, get content to prospects very easily, and provides transparency for management in regard to where we are in the selling process with our prospects and customers.

Buyerdeck cuts down admin time, helps drive more efficient external and internal collaboration on new proposals, track opportunity progress and allows you to forecast more accurately. It's a more modern, dynamic and engaging way to send quotes rather than long boring emails. I find it a lot easier to respond to customer queries and to prioritize my time on specific projects when I use this rather than emails. I will never return to email proposals. Email proposals feel as tedious as writing physical letters in comparison to sending a Buyerdeck proposal.

My team don't always use BD as a first priority and it sometimes makes the buying process less engaging when half a quote is by email and the rest is via this portal. We have a lot of marketing content and it is hard to find if it isn't properly tagged.

Better time management

More transparency in internal communications

Increases consistency between proposals

Increases visibility of opportunities and accuracy of forecasting

A very intuitive and easy to use platform

I did not find a feature that wasn't helpful

Today's business world is hyper-competitive and the better you're able to differentiate yourself. This allows me to create a great customer experience for every one of my customers.

Its allows me to keep the entire internal team and customers I am engaging with up to date on projects and the timeline to closure and implementation. It makes taking the next step for the team or the customer clearly apparent, while giving everyone access to the data, tools, documents, and other resources we assigned to the project.

That more people haven't used the platform. That's really it. The product itself is outstanding and works very well. I also like the fact that people who are used to living out of their mailbox take to using it so quickly because of the user interface as well as the email alerts to their primary inbox.

Implementation and use of BuyerDeck needs to start from the top of any organization as a mandate so others will engage in the product and see its use and benefit.

I am reducing the timeline and complexity of projects. Its putting more time back in my teams day as well as the customers were engaging with. We are able to collaborate better with greater cohesion.

I love that I can get every one of my customers all the information we have and let them peruse it at their leisure. Not to mention the fact that I can track who is serious about buying by whether or not they are look at my content.

BuyerDeck does not have a particularly beautiful user display.

Getting useful info to clients.

I love the ability to have the entire conversation in one place. Also, the insights into docs being reviewed and for how long - this is key.

transfer of ownership of the project seems to be hard. I was recently promoted and I no longer use Buyerdeck as rep, I would like to remove me as the owner and assign it to another rep.

Increasing closed won percentages.

The ability to link internal employees & the prospects/ customers plus allows for the ease of the customers to add their colleagues into this portal to view content and will record and notify me the user of this activity.

I would like better integration into other technologies. This may exist but I have yet to dabble around with it in those regards.

Solving for a single portal that tracks content we send to prospects/ clients, tells us how long they have viewed the content, who has viewed the content, if they have signed the agreement, easy ability to add new content that is relevant to their particular business need with ease.

Adoption of this product is a little challenging but with a brief introduction to it the clients appear to enjoy it as much as we do.

Several things are great about Buyerdeck:

1--Central repository of content, ideally updated by your company's admin so that all of the content, webinar links, whitepapers, etc are the latest and greatest...no more fording through garbage on Box or your hard drive to find what should be shared

2--Passive type communication with Buyers--you can add/comment/change content on the fly and then see if the prospect is consuming it--prospects are busy enough and prefer to learn on their own time so this gives a good "pulse" of the progress of deals while being minimally invasive

3--Inviting team members to collaborate--one place where all people from execs, engineering, sales, and marketing can go to both view and contribute to the communications in a deal

4--Timeline function--this is a great tool when qualifying as well as keeping both sides of a transaction honest; the timeline assigns specific things to each party to keep a deal moving in the necessary pace and keep from stagnating. The prospects can change or comment on anything if they disagree, so it becomes much more collaborative

Not much really--I have been using this software since it was in pre-beta stage and it's incredible to see how much progress they have made. Gerald and his team are very open to suggestions and they are constantly asking customers how to improve the experience. One thing that could help is when pulling contacts from Salesforce into the Buyerdeck record if the user was able to select specific contacts--we have a lot of garbage in our CRM that pulls over sometimes but that is the only thing I would change.

Try it out--have not seen something like this before and it really gives a great view into prospect engagement.

Qualifying more effectively, sharing information in a central location [no more email attachments], being able to validate what content is relevant to customers
