The Company
Atrium is a data-driven sales management platform that empowers AE, SDR, and CS managers to improve team performance with data.
Led by Peter Kazanjy (CRO and Co-Founder), Atrium’s revenue team follows a land and expand sales motion, so they’re focused on ensuring buyers are successful in the product early. They offer a Proof of Concept, where the Atrium rep sets up the prospect’s free account and guides them through the POC and to a purchase decision.
The Problem
As the Atrium team grew and began selling to larger organizations, they realized that their process for communicating and collaborating with prospects wasn’t scalable.
Time-consuming & unorganized ⏰
Atrium’s sales reps used an ad-hoc deal management process with their champions and decision makers that combined email, Google Slides, and spreadsheets.
- Deal summaries, timelines, & resources were often buried in threads with 50+ emails
- Hard for AEs to keep up with and time-consuming to track down context for each deal
- Confusing for buyers to understand the partnership’s next steps
Lack of alignment on requirements 🚫
If AEs aren’t aligned with the buyer on their challenges, timeline, and requirements at the beginning of the partnership, then the deal is likely to go off track.
- Lack of a structured process made it difficult for reps to map out the buying journey
- Couldn’t easily collaborate with buyers on their timeline and stakeholders in the decision making process
- Surprises like unexpected security requirements often pushed close dates back
“We wanted to be less reliant on Google Slides & Sheets as we grew, and present business cases in a more professional, scalable way,” Pete said.
The Solution
Sean Cardenas, Sr. Sales Strategy Advisor & AE Team Lead, started searching for solutions and got a demo of Accord.
“When I saw how professional it looked, combined with the collaboration & deal management features, the value immediately resonated,” Sean said. “I wanted to start using it right away.”
