Close deals with prospects faster

Get closer to prospects and customers

Meeting in person may not be possible at the moment, but your relationships don’t have to suffer. Build stronger relationships with customers and maintain deal velocity by connecting in a Slack channel.[footnote reference=”” note=”Claims and figures are based on specific teams using Slack Connect at their companies. Results may vary at your organisation." /]

Sales teams use Slack Connect to:

• Create personal and persistent connections to customers
• Get feedback on a proposal, and work together to build a mutual plan 
• Keep subject-matter experts, such as legal or finance, in the loop to help to close a deal

[stat_row stat_1="4x | faster deal cycles for a sales team" stat_2="60% | faster responses from customers"/]

A channel that’s shared with a customer looks and feels like a channel that you use with your internal team. People from up to 20 different companies can join, so everyone can stay aligned and drive results in one shared space.

2. Send the invitation

Follow the prompt to share the channel outside your workspace. Send your partner an email invitation right from Slack, or copy the link provided and email the invitation directly.

3. Wait for your partner to accept

Stick the kettle on. When your customer clicks on the link, they’ll be taken back to Slack, where they can accept the invitation and set up the channel on their end.

4. Get your admin’s approval

Depending on your settings, the invitation may be sent to an admin on each team for approval. Admins can manage channel invitations by clicking on their workspace name > Administration > Manage shared channels.
