Customer Reference Management

People in every part of your company need customer evidence at some point or another. One way you can handle this is to let each person, when the need arises, do their own thing and reach out to your marquee customers to make the ask. We call this “Random Acts of Customer Proof”. Or you could create and automate a Customer Reference Management process. With SlapFive, you can empower everyone to submit Requests, Requests can be routed to Trusted Contacts for review and approval, you dynamically search and filter to find the best customers to fulfill each request, you avoid using the same customers over and over, and you measure the revenue influence.

Anyone in the company can submit a request from any system or web page, in seconds.

  • Sales reps can request reference customers and content right from a Salesforce Opportunity.
  • The right people are automatically notified when a new request comes in.
  • Reference managers can log requests on behalf of people who send them by email or Slack.
