Success stories

How did Sky Media achieve £2.5M in three months?

‍Sky Media, one of Europe's biggest media giants, soared past what even we thought digital sales rooms (DSRs) were capable of. After signing up for trumpet, just three months later, they'd already surpassed £2.5 million in sales. Better still, their outreach open rate shot up by 150%.

“Personalising Pods for each business is so useful. The Pod board tracking tool is a game changer.”‍

Ellie Salsbury, AdSmart Sales Executive

Sleek, concise, and results-driven, it's not hard to see why Sky's AdSmart DSR worked. Within just a few seconds in the Pod, you receive a clear explanation about the service, how it works, and how to get in touch. It's a master class digital sales room case study.

How did Otta speed up sales handovers?

We promise quick results. But Otta surprised even us – closing two mid-sized deals within 4 weeks of joining us. 

‍

Otta, a tech hiring platform, closed two deals in four weeks using trumpet Pods to bridge Sales and CS.

Their handover Pod acts as a single source of truth, cutting confusion and keeping clients engaged with open rates up to 84%.

‍

Otta is a tech-focused recruitment service helping companies find the right candidates and job hunters for the right role. Relying on their DSR for customer success operations, they used the platform to smooth the handover from sales to CS. 

As Stephanie Guerin, Sales Lead, revealed: "We hope that handovers from Sales to CS will live within trumpet, giving our customers a consistent source of truth for all things Otta, regardless of who their day-to-day contact is."

It worked! They achieved a substantial open rate of between 64% and 84% and received a large number of unique views. Moreover, trumpet helped them send hyper-personalised outreach while relying on the marketing team for help.

Which Industries Use trumpet Pods?

From volunteer management to SaaS onboarding, trumpet adapts to every industry.

Volunteero cut their sales cycle by a third, reduced onboarding from five weeks to three, and hit a 77.5% open rate.

“trumpet replaced messy email chains with one clear place for resources. It’s so versatile.”
— Ashley Staines, CEO, Volunteero

‍Customer success. Sales. Marketing. There's a seemingly endless potential for trumpet – and our customers keep on finding more. Looking through our digital sales room case studies, you'll find companies from almost every industry or stage in the buyer's journey.

Take Volunteero, for example. They work to streamline the volunteer management process, helping to manage volunteers' tasks, schedules, and progress for organisations.

When they joined us, their fundamental goal was reducing email chains and supporting client onboarding. No more confusing communications or cumbersome PDF attachments.

That's what we delivered! The results were astounding – their sales cycle time was reduced by a third, from 6 months to 4 months.

But that wasn't all – with a 77.5% average open rate and an average client implementation time of just 3 weeks (down from 5 weeks), they achieved their targets.

Small wonder they now use trumpet at almost every stage of the buyer's journey, whether that be improving the sales process, providing ongoing support and training to clients, or gaining the interest of investors.

What lessons did eola learn?

When clients first use trumpet, there's a little bit of a learning curve. We made the platform as simple as possible so teams can get up and running quickly. However, after years of being reliant on in-person meetings, emails, and PDFs, the sheer possibilities of digital sales rooms take time to adjust. You've got to think outside the box.

eola, a booking platform, used trumpet to deliver beautiful Pods packed with videos, stats and sharp visuals.

Results:
✅ Onboarding time cut by 78%
✅ £40K ARR closed in eight weeks
✅ More visibility with multithreading

How did Haystack shorten deal times?

‍Haystack wanted faster closes and better data. With Pods, they:

• Personalised proposals using real buyer data.
• Reduced closing time by 40%.
• Landed larger deals, faster.

Our deal sizes have grown, the time to close them has shortened, and the ability to create bespoke proposals with lots of data and stats underpinning is simple (meaning internally, we've become more agile). Make your own, and prospects', lives easier, and everyone wins".

– David Roddy, Head of Strategic Partnerships & Business Development

How Did PepTalk Engage Buyers for Longer?

Customer engagement is what drives a deal towards the close. Relying on emails and PDFs to inform customers and send proposals often leads to poor response rates and conversion rates. PepTalk was one client that saw the difference digital sales rooms can make.

They achieved monumental results by employing DSRs for sales, marketing, and customer success. Here's a snapshot:

‍

• Average Open Rate: 75%

• Total Pods Value: €2.7M

• Minutes viewing Pod in May: 131,719

‍

"trumpet is a great tool for sales, marketing, content, and CS that requires little to no training to get up and running. It's helped our company build sustainable processes across 4 teams as we scale into the US."

explained Haelee Reis, Content Marketing Manager.

Indeed, it's one thing for a DSR to get opened. However, PepTalk's success relied on that third metric – minutes viewed. That indicates that customers just kept coming back at every stage in the buyer's journey.
