The pandemic has increased the need for savvy, digital sellers. McKinsey data shows enterprises doubling down on the technology needed to modernize and support working and collaborating remotely. Currently, only 28% of B2B businesses have hybrid sales roles, which is projected to grow to 64% in the next six months.
“Modern selling requires creativity, business acumen, and the ability to translate complex ideas in a simple way. Having the right technologies and practices in place, is essential to executing an effective modern selling approach,” said Dustin Deno, SVP of Global Sales at Showpad. “The buying process is non-linear, and successful revenue teams guide the buyer from uncertainty to transformation. Showpad is the modern enablement technology that revenue teams need in an age where B2B sales is greatly shifting.”
Growth at Showpad
As organizations evolve business models to meet the expectations of today’s informed buyers, Showpad has seen immense growth on its Platform and across its organization. The company is celebrating its 10th anniversary, touting 58% year-over-year Platform growth in 2020 and 1,200 customers across more than 50 countries including Bridgestone, Kimberly-Clark, Unilever.
During the pandemic, Showpad brought buyers and sellers closer together, seeing a 350% year-of-year increase in buyers on the Platform, and a 600% increase in engagement between buying and selling teams. In 2020 alone, revenue teams used Showpad as their guide in the buying process, more than doubling the use of sophisticated virtual experiences for guided selling.
“We’ve been in business for a decade, and have learned a lot over these past 10 incredible years. The Showpad revenue enablement platform is specifically built for this new era,” said Pieterjan Bouten, co-founder and CEO of Showpad. “We’re thrilled to be connecting buyers with sellers through modern selling solutions that empower people to be at their best. Thank you to everyone who has supported Showpad, and thank you to all of our dedicated and talented employees, customers, partners and investors who raise the bar each and every day.”
“As we continue to pivot to hybrid selling in order to meet the demands of the modern buyer, we see Showpad at the center of our selling strategy,” said Eric Andrews, VP of Sales Enablement at Infor. “Showpad has helped our sellers re-engage with our content and increased collaboration across the revenue team.
