Cloud-Based Demos and Hands-On POCs Boost Sales Funnel Efficiency and Drive Higher Conversion Rates
To help speed sales funnel velocity for software companies, CloudShare, a leading provider of specialized cloud environments, announced the availability of its Sales Enablement solution. CloudShare lets companies powerfully showcase their software solutions on demand and within minutes, providing easily managed demos and proofs of concept (POCs) for unlimited users worldwide.
CloudShare’s solution enhances both the demo and POC stages of a company’s sales funnel, and also offers end-to-end invitation, tracking and management dashboards, providing unmatched visibility into a prospect’s engagement in real time. At the demo stage, sales engineers can spin up a predefined environment for prospects, which centralizes demo preparation and eliminates onsite travel by technical experts. At the POC stage, CloudShare provides managed, secure distribution of any sales POC for a tailored, hands-on software experience.
“CloudShare makes it easy for our sales engineers to demonstrate the many different technologies of Check Point around the world with a simple laptop instead of a rack of equipment,” said Avi Rembaum, VP of security solutions for Check Point Software Technologies.
