Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use ClearSlide regularly to put together presentations for clients. ClearSlide makes it easy to create presentations that can be shared with clients with a simple link creation. The ability to pull slides from other presentations and simply hide or show selected slides for a specific client saves tons of time when it comes to sending material to clients.

Pros

  • Easily share presentations
  • Track clicks and views of presentations
  • Create presentations

Cons

  • Edit features of slides. Once a ppt has been uploaded you are limited on what is able to be edited.
  • Google Slides integration
  • When copying a slide or presentation if enter key is pressed instead of the "Create" button it fails to create the copy.
  • Improvements to search functions.

Most Important Features

  • Slideshow management
  • Ease of sharable content.
  • Easy access to all marketing qualified content.
  • Link tracking features.

Return on Investment

  • Time is money and ClearSlide saves time.

ClearSlide's analytics offer insight to your prospect's engagement

Incentivized
Jason CarlageView profile
Director of Sales in Sales at Globalyceum (1-10 employees employees)

Pros

  • Analytics: for sales, especially when selling virtually, it can be difficult to know if your customers are engaged with the presentation. Clearslide will give you reports that indicate how long customers were viewing what you were presenting, if/when you lost them, and at what place in your presentation you lost them. It can also show you how long potential customers spent reviewing follow-up materials you've sent them.
  • Screenshare: the screenshare functionality, when using Google Chrome, is very seamless, and the customer can take over the screenshare without needing any downloads or plug-ins.
  • Presenting: It's quite easy to present material with Clearslide, and to move between materials that you are presenting.

Cons

  • When a prospect is not using Google Chrome, they have to go through a few steps to allow for screenshare. Not every prospect is comfortable with downloading software for a sales pitch, and some get overwhelmed.
  • It's not very straightforward to connect to audio. It doesn't happen automatically, and to enable it you have to click on "dial in via web client".
  • There is a charge for using the conference line. It's a nominal fee of a few cents per minute, but with multiple reps using the site for many hours per month, this can add up a bit.

Return on Investment

  • It had a positive impact on our business objective because the analytics showed us that we were much better off having prospects take over the screenshare and navigate through our website as we discussed it with them. We'd lose them when we just demo'd features but when they took control of the screen and drove the presentation, they became dialed in and engaged.
