It is specifically designed for Pre-sales and it's easy to maintain giving a great overview of the information that really matters to our roles. It would be helpful and a time-saver to manage calls, notes, recordings and meetings too, and even links to GDrive repositories or sharepoint
The demos can be used in a number of ways, whether you want it front and center on your website's home page, or more in the background. The dashboard and ability to easily edit was really nice to use. We went through several changes on our copy/creative and it was easy to make quick changes and then the demo was automatically updated on our web pages.
POC Management: The Evaluation Plans feautre ensures that we follow a clear and consistent process, so that we can track progress across each opportunity.
Feature Gaps: This is one of the most valuable aspects of Homerun Presales Platform. Having the ability to identify missing product features and more importantly quantify the potential revenue at risk because of them has transformed the way we interact with the product team. We can now bring data-driven insights to discussions instead of just regular feedback.
CRM Integration: Homerun Presales Platform can be syncrhonized with Salesforce, which allows us to grab the information we need from the CRM without the need to duplicate it and push anything that might be beneficial to the broader team back to the CRM.
More flexibility in external reporting: Homerun Presales Platform provides solid internal reporting, however, creating external reports can be a bit cumbersome. Right now it takes extra effort to export data to third party reporting tools (e.g., PowerBI), however I got exceptional support from the team to be able to accomplish this task.
Very easy to use platform, with integrations with other tools allowing data to flow between the different platforms. The real bright spot for Homerun is that it is designed with presales activities and cycles in mind, meaning it was very easy to fit within our existing presales process. Most aspects of the tool are also customizable so you can take what already works in your process and port that over to the tools provided. Within days of our initial training from the Homerun team, it became a tool that our team members use daily
The success team is very responsive and quick to address any issues – which rarely comes up. I appreciate Darren, the CEO, being hands on and working with my team to answer any questions and ensure they hit their targets.
Homerun Presales Platform is head a shoulders above Salesforce from a Sales Engineering perspective. Homerun Presales Platform independently tracks deal stages, allowing SE leadership to accurately understand the technical side of the opportunity. Homerun Presales Platform provides a clean, easy to use workspace where the important aspects of an opportunity are front and center, and not bogged down inside an outdates, bloated CRM platform.
We were able to configure ScreenSpace in a way where the demo will not go stale, even if we change our product. The overall value and features are captured. Other products were a bit too granular and would easily get out of date.
Gaining a presales-focused view of the sales cycle, allowing us to track our team's contributions in a structured and measurable way.
Improving our collaboration with the product team by giving us actual data on feature gaps and potential revenue at risk due to missing functionality. This will help drive more strategic roadmap decisions.
CRM integration (Salesforce) has reduced manual admin work, saving our team valuable time.
