A content evaluation system for large-scale sales departments. Tracks efficiency of various content pieces, and suggests high-performing content for the deals.
Analyzing several companies' complains on sales processes, we noticed some common issues to be solved.
Non-transparent patterns across the teams
For a regular salesperson it's not always possible to have a sneak peek on his/her team "rockstar" habits. And it's even more complicated to find out what's going on in the other teams.
Biased personal opinions
A salesperson and a marketer can have opposite thoughts on whether a content piece is beneficial for deal progress.
Old habits vs. new content
People mistrust freshly introduced sales content because of their habits or lack of communication across the teams. Some continue presenting irrelevant and/or outdated decks & articles to the clients which leads to deal losses.
Navigation within the content universe
Having hundreds of documents in their personal & common storages, salespeople struggle to find a proper document. Thus people spend time creating their own documents from scratch, which multiplies the chaos even more.
Solution we came up with
Collect all the items
We'll set up a system that collects sent out links and documents from cloud storages, emails and CRMs.
Track each one's performance
Having an established content library, we'll analyze how the items performed based on the deal movement.
Suggest the best content
We'll recommend the most relevant & best performing items for ongoing deals, minding the deal stage and several other conditions.
Keep getting feedback
Each new interaction & content piece will be rated as well - so the "success scores" are always up-to-date.

Manual suggestions
Besides the machine choice, people can recommend nice content to each other too.
Reporting
Several types of reports are provided in order to measure the impact of different content sharing approaches and policies - within the whole company or at a personal level.
Content sources management
