The Problem

SystemsCo, a manufacturing systems integrator, faced challenges maintaining consistency and efficiency in their sales presentations. Before implementing TeamSlide, Sales struggled with several issues that hindered their ability to communicate with clients and prospects effectively:

Content Disarray: The company’s PowerPoint presentations were scattered across various sources, leading to outdated and inconsistent content. This disorganization resulted in confusion among the sales team and compromised the brand image during client interactions.

Time Wastage: Sales members spent excessive time searching for specific slides in their slide library or requesting content from internal experts. This manual process slowed down the presentation creation process and diverted valuable resources from more strategic tasks.

Inconsistent Messaging: Without a centralized repository for approved slides, the company faced challenges ensuring that the messaging conveyed to clients and prospects was consistent and aligned with the brand guidelines.

Use case:

• Brand consistency
• Version control
• Metadata

The Solution

The company implemented TeamSlide, a sales enablement tool designed to enhance the efficiency and consistency of the sales presentation creation process with a slide library.

• Centralized access: TeamSlide provided access to all content through its PowerPoint add-in without impacting SystemsCo’s content systems.
• Efficient Search and Selection: TeamSlide’s tagging system allowed the classification of specific slides.
• Consistency and Branding: TeamSlide’s version control allowed Sales to receive updates to their presentations with content approved by internal experts.
