Help Sales and Marketing Teams...
"Getting insight into what user's use or like the most, and where they see the highest value for the product. There is always a WOW moment with a happy customer: ‘Wow that's gonna save/make me so much time/money’. If you are able to identify those moments and give that to the sales/marketing teams to shape the sales message... it will really help!"
Jorge Bestard, Growth Manager, Olapic

Help CEOs...
"What people love about the product and why some people decide not to buy it after trying. That allows marketing and sales to figure out who to sell to. Next is what do people want in the product that we didn't consider. That allows product to build features to get more customers."
Chris Bennet, CEO, Soldsie
