In their words

What CEOs and sales leaders are saying about their sales challenges and Folio’s AI-driven solutions.

“We have a sales process that our Chief Sales Officer uses, but it hasn’t really trickled down to all the different sales teams in a way that’s methodical or always being followed. You have a lot of older guys who’ve been in the industry for a while and they like to do it their way. Trying to get the consistency of a process and the visibility into what works, and getting the sales guys to sell on value instead of old habits, which is just “let me just get you the best price” is a pain.”

Exclusive Machinery Distributor

“They’re taking the national slides, changing the header and the logo, changing a couple words, and then they send it. Most of the time, though, it rarely meets the needs. So they usually then have to work at a more local level to create insights conveyed through buyer segmentation rather than the brand segmentation, based on the things that they know are unique to that customer at that moment in time. And it just doesn’t scale.”

Commercial Products Manufacturer

“I can free up my entire sales team, all my marketing folks, anyone in leadership, and they can build anything that they want at any moment in time. Also, you don’t give them any sharp edges where they can ‘hurt themselves’, or where they’re going to present the wrong stuff or say things the wrong way. The huge selling point to this is locking down messaging and not having my sales people going rogue.”

Robotics Manufacturer

“I have to create a whole “buffet” of materials, and create different doors to that buffet to serve that prospect in different ways. Salespeople are different. Some like slide decks or PowerPoint because of their age group. Others just like to send a URL from the web-catalog. I can’t keep up.”

Discrete Semiconductors

“Folio can actually change things so that centralized corporate resources won’t just be a meaningless average. Meaning that an organization can create national materials that can influence at a fragmented regional level.”

Business Products Manufacturer

“I’ve been in this space my entire career. Ultimately, what Folio does is highlight all the critical pain points and value drivers along the way so that they’re not lost. The quotes that we share now don’t include follow-up or previous discussion notes to capture all those value drivers. Our customer is sharing this information with their core team, but we have no visibility into how that’s received or who’s looking at it.”

Industrial Injection Molding

“They’re taking the national slides, changing the header and the logo, changing a couple words, and then they send it. Most of the time, though, it rarely meets the needs. So they usually then have to work at a more local level to create insights conveyed through buyer segmentation rather than the brand segmentation, based on the things that they know are unique to that customer at that moment in time. And it just doesn’t scale.”

Commercial Products Manufacturer

“A lot of companies, even sophisticated billion dollar companies, have not invested in advanced sales enablement capabilities and many have weak processes. So there’s a huge opportunity here where Folio enables those companies to speed up the velocity of their sales funnel and to close more business faster.”

Metal Solutions

“Folio would definitely help my inside team who is bombarded with requests for quotes. They have so many, they’re overwhelmed. They’re not even responding to some of the emails. When you’re big and you’re doing a lot of volume, you really have to be organized. And most of these guys are not.”

Industrial and Commercial Machinery Distributor

“I have to create a whole “buffet” of materials, and create different doors to that buffet to serve that prospect in different ways. Salespeople are different. Some like slide decks or PowerPoint because of their age group. Others just like to send a URL from the web-catalog. I can’t keep up.”

Discrete Semiconductors

“The toughest challenge is that we’re selling the most premium branded machines out of anybody in my industry. But our quality is worth that value. So, if Folio can help my sales guys explain why the machine is the perfect match, value-wise for the customer need, it would save me time trying to write it out. Then, I can get to more customers, to more quotes, and to more leads and give everybody a piece of my attention, because the hardest thing is managing the time to do all of that.”
