Introducing Demodesk – The intelligent meeting platform for remote sales

It’s time to meet a new Sales Confidence partner. It’s a pleasure to welcome Demodesk to the Sales Confidence community. Let’s find out more about them.

One of the great things about running Sales Confidence is being able to partner with world-class sales tech companies that truly want to improve the lives of salespeople. Some of the brilliant partners we have on board include SalesLoft, MindTickle and Varicent . Today, we’ve got a new name to add to the list – Demodesk.

I’m excited to announce our new partnership with Demodesk and its co-founder and CEO, Veronika Riederle. After talking to Veronika and her team, it’s clear that there’s synergy between Demodesk and Sales Confidence; linking up in this way will bring considerable benefits to you, the Sales Confidence community member. 

What is Demodesk?

Most of us are working remotely at the moment – and perhaps for the foreseeable future. Demodesk is here to make life easier for remote salespeople like you, as well as help you make more sales.

Demodesk is a meeting platform optimised for customer-facing reps:

• Guide sellers in real-time 
• Cut down ramp-time, have more consistent and engaging pitches, close deals quicker by centralizing your entire team’s sales content.
• Automate scheduling 
• Automate scheduling workflows with custom booking pages, lead routing rules, round-robin team scheduling and automated calendar invites and reminders.
• Automate CRM admin 
• Demodesk seamlessly connects with your CRM (Salesforce, Hubspot, Pipedrive, Gong.io and more) and automatically syncs meetings, recordings, notes, follow-ups and more.
• Engage customers 
• Simplify your meeting experience and avoid downloads or distractions. Interact and collaborate with your customers in real-time  for more engaging meetings.
• Coach and analyze at scale
• Call recording, shadowing and meeting analytics help sales leaders understand what's happening in the call, identify best practices and coach teams at scale.

Another Demodesk feature I really like is being able to automatically load presentations and playbooks at the start of every meeting – making it easy for salespeople to access collateral. It helps teams standardise their sales narrative so they’re always using best practices, following the correct path across all sales conversations. That kind of thing is gold dust for a sales leader.

For salespeople themselves, I’ve heard users say that Demodesk gives them their evenings back because they can automate so many admin tasks. As someone who focuses a lot on mental health and avoiding burnout, you cannot underestimate the value there.

Introducing Veronika and Lauren

Veronika Riederle is the co-founder and CEO at Demodesk. It’s been great to get to know her as we have cemented this partnership.

Before founding Demodesk, Veronika spent five years at Bain & Company. She has also been through Y Combinator, the world’s famous incubator for startups that launched Stripe, Airbnb and a host of other household names.

As well as creating a brilliant product, Veronika has built a refreshing culture at Demodesk. There’s no ‘bro culture’ or egos. It’s all about turning every salesperson into a top performer. It’s led to them attracting some absolute top performers, who see the value in the product and want to work in a business like this. Veronika is also a champion for other women in business to look up to. 

As for partnering up with Sales Confidence, Veronika put it this way. ‘We are thrilled to be partnering with Sales Confidence. We both share a commitment to helping sales reps grow in their careers by equipping them with the resources they need to become a top performer.’

Demodesk’s VP of Revenue is Lauren Wright. Lauren was previously at Glassdoor as Director of Sales for EMEA. She has vast experience in building high-performance, diverse teams. 

Synergy with Sales Confidence

I can’t wait to introduce Veronika, Lauren and Demodesk to the Sales Confidence community, as there is such a massive overlap of our core beliefs.

Here at Sales Confidence, we’re pretty selective about who we work with. I’m delighted to have a company on board that genuinely cares about salespeople and improving their experience. Demodesk values the sales community and wants to elevate the sales profession – just like Sales Confidence. 

Meet Lauren Wright at the next Sales Confidence event

As you know, until we can meet again in person, we’re staging our Sales Confidence events online.

Our next event is on May 19th for Sales and Revenue Leaders. Lauren Wright from Demodesk will be presenting her 7-minute talk. I can’t wait to introduce Lauren and find out what she has to say. You know it’s going to be packed with value.
