Using online presentations can increase sales

Technology company, Citrix Online, has published a research paper to show that a good number of businesses are increasing their sales through delivering online presentations. Could this be a useful sales tool for you? 

The study was taken in the US so the results may not reflect the UK market but what it said was this:

  • more than half respondents reported using online presentations to deliver product demonstrations to customers and prospects.
  • 59% of respondents believe online presentations allow sales teams to reach out to greater numbers of prospects more often without incurring costs associated with travel and scheduling. One respondent said: “By presenting our products online we reduced our cost of sales almost 50%.”

In short, the message is businesses can keep costs low, share more information and make more sales, by using online presentations.

The research paper ended by saying:

“A few years ago, online presentations were a luxury for a few large, well-resourced organizations. Today, the technology is in high demand across businesses of all sizes and is rapidly evolving from a “nice-to-have” competitive differentiator to a “must-have” competitive requirement for closing more sales.

Thanks to GoToMeeting Corporate’s low flat-rate pricing model, online presentation technology is more affordable than ever for growing businesses.”

As you can see from the above, Citrix ain’t too bad at making their own sales!
