When it comes to Deal Acceleration Strategies, what alternatives were your customers most often using before buying your software?
Many revenue teams relied on traditional tools like CRMs, email chains, and shared documents to manage their sales and follow-ups with clients. These tools, while popular, were not always efficient in handling interactions seamlessly. The primary alternatives were:

Traditional CRM platforms: while essential for internal pipeline management, tools like Salesforce and HubSpot were not designed for client-facing interactions, leading to inefficiencies in communication and resource sharing.
