ClearSlide is the OG of Sales Engagement Platforms. We invented the category, have the most dynamic customers, the broadest platform and the most compelling vision for the future – to be the system of engagement to make every customer interaction successful. Every email, every meeting, every presentation and proposal should be amazing, and result in that beautiful, virtuous cycle between buyer and seller that ultimately results in a new sale, a renewal, or a closer business relationship between both parties.

I joined ClearSlide almost two years ago to lead our product and design team because I was convinced that transforming selling with amazing products and technology was both a huge business opportunity and a noble endeavor. We’ve all been on the receiving end of terrible sales experiences – spammy emails that are content free, sales conversations where the rep was completely off message and unprepared, web meetings where just joining took 10 minutes. That sucks and in this day and age, it’s inexcusable. That was one of the principles upon which ClearSlide was founded.

Today, I’m proud to announce we’ve reached a significant milestone in our company’s history on our path to making every customer interaction successful. After months of planning and designing, great input from our unbelievable customer base, and a ton of grit from our entire team, we’ve launched the biggest release in ClearSlide’s history, that we’re affectionately calling our ION Release. Lithium ion batteries power amazing devices and experiences – iPhones, Teslas, you name it. And now sales is “ION-powered” with ClearSlide.

What is ION?

Our new ION Release advances our market-leading Sales Engagement Platform, with next-generation capabilities to manage opportunities, teams, and individual reps based on actual customer engagement data. It includes new Engagement Quadrant dashboards to quickly identify deals at risk, coaching opportunities across sales stages, and with actionable “next-step” insights to improve forecasting and business results.

It also includes a new “For You” content experience with recommended sales and marketing content tailored for every customer interaction – from prospect to close. ION’s re-imagined “My ClearSlide” experience puts content, communications, and analytics at sales teams’ fingertips in a more personalized and intuitive way making it easy to access all aspects of this powerful new platform.

The Road Ahead

Making every customer interaction successful is a broad vision. As the leader in this growing market we know the ION Release will fundamentally change how our customers sell and deliver superior business results.

But while today was a big day, we’ve got much more work to do. The investments we’ve made in our platform, APIs, and application experiences & technologies are going to unleash a wave of innovation that I simply can’t wait to showcase.

In the immortal words of Coach K, next play…
