Customer engagement doesn't happen by accident. 

Traditional sales and marketing campaigns leave customers cold. While they might open an email or browse a few pieces of content, your efforts are just one among many. 

Collaboration platforms like trumpet, include numerous features to spark engagement and foster an ongoing dialogue.

• Centralised Communication: A digital sales room offers a centralised communication spot, streamlining collaboration and allowing sales teams to work with buyers in real-time. In-app chat provides instantaneous support, reducing response times, while engagement through multiple channels increases interaction and personalisation.
• Efficient Deal Progression: Streamline the sales cycle, maintain momentum with mutual action plans, speed up contract signing, and minimise friction in the document review process. 
• Alignment and Accountability with Mutual Action Plans: Mutual Action Plans (MAPs) in digital sales rooms improve engagement and transparency by assigning tasks with due dates, providing a clear deal overview, and reducing email clutter by allowing files to be uploaded directly within MAPs.
• Enhancing Stakeholder Engagement: Digital sales room's collaboration features boost interactions with stakeholders, enhancing engagement, onboarding, and accountability. This leads to increased satisfaction, loyalty, and focus.
