We strongly suggest prioritizing 2 to 3 of the biggest pain points. Here are just a few examples of use cases for SlapFive. See what I mean?

Customer Journeys

Buyer's Guide
  • Challenge: Prospects are confused because they don’t know how to evaluate and compare solutions, or a competitor gets in first and sets the playing field.
  • Create a digital buyer’s guide in which customers talk about how they identified vendors to evaluate, and what critical criteria they used to narrow down their options and make a decision.
Differentiation Validator
  • Challenge: Its hard to stand out because all competitors make the same claims and sound alike.
  • Get buyers to place more weight on a true differentiator by having customers talk about why that attribute is so critical to their success and how you are better at it.

Buyer Journey
