Product updates, employee base growth, and hiring plans announced following successful year
Showpad, the global leader in revenue enablement technology, kicked off 2022 with a renewed focus on empowering customers, employees and partners to buy, sell and be at their best.
After finishing 2021 with its highest bookings quarter in company history and year-over-year growth of 97%, the company looks ahead at a refreshed business strategy and new product growth to fuel continuous market momentum.
“It truly is an honor to be a part of the Showpad team at such a pivotal and successful time for the organization,” said Jeff Poczatek, VP of Global Commercial Sales at Showpad. “However, this is just the beginning – Showpad is relentlessly dedicated to empowering the most impactful buyer experiences, and we will ensure our platform does just that. The growth we experienced this past year is simply motivation to keep growing and innovating.”
Growth in 2021
Showpad rang in its 10th anniversary with over 1,000 customers across more than 50 countries in 2021. Some of the customers who added Showpad into their tech stack in 2021 include Taos – an IBM Company, and Domino Printing.
And for companies like Stanley Black and Decker, 2021 was focused on harnessing data and analytics to grow strategically.
“I knew implementing Showpad was going to be a quick win if we did it right,” said Jessie Hanna, VP of Sales Enablement at Stanley Black & Decker. “I didn’t think it was something we were going to have to work hard to get adopted – and it wasn’t. Showpad was adopted almost immediately across the board, right out of the gate.”
In response to platform growth, Showpad also reached a hiring record. As part of its strategy to attract top industry talent, Showpad celebrated the addition of its 500th employee, and over 200 new joiners in the past year.
