First impressions aren&#8217;t always the be-all and end-all when it comes to winning business &#8211; but what if it&#8217;s the only chance you get, and you really need to make it count?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the increasingly fast paced world of B2B sales, decision makers have less and less time to spend in meetings with potential suppliers, and you often won&#8217;t get the chance for a second, third or fourth impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you&#8217;re serious about winning business, you need to make that first impression the right one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our expertise is in helping businesses make great first impressions &#8211; with the help of interactive sales tools such as <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.popcomms.com\/pop\/sales-enablement-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sales enablement tools<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.popcomms.com\/pop\/touchscreen-experiences\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">touchscreen experiences<\/a>.

Especially since the chances are, you&#8217;ve already put in a good amount of work to get this far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your buyers have probably already done their research, and most likely (according to the above survey) even already have a preference before they even meet you.&nbsp;They&#8217;re also expecting a consistent level of communication and professionalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where an interactive sales tool &#8211; like a touchscreen experience &#8211; can really deliver when it&#8217;s time to deliver your presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.popcomms.com\/pop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Sales-enablement-interactive-presentation-showpad-wienerberger-popcomms-7-1024x640.png\" alt=\"white iPad showing the product carousel that is available to support Wienerberger narrative selling\" class=\"wp-image-9290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.popcomms.com\/pop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Sales-enablement-interactive-presentation-showpad-wienerberger-popcomms-7-1024x640.png 1024w, https:\/\/dev.popcomms.com\/pop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Sales-enablement-interactive-presentation-showpad-wienerberger-popcomms-7-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/dev.popcomms.com\/pop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Sales-enablement-interactive-presentation-showpad-wienerberger-popcomms-7-768x480.png 768w, https:\/\/dev.popcomms.com\/pop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Sales-enablement-interactive-presentation-showpad-wienerberger-popcomms-7-1536x960.png 1536w, https:\/\/dev.popcomms.com\/pop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Sales-enablement-interactive-presentation-showpad-wienerberger-popcomms-7.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.popcomms.com\/pop\/case-studies\/wienerberger-enhanced-sales-enablement-tool\/\" target=\"_blank\">Wienerberger&#8217;s<\/a> customer sales experience is easy and intuitive to navigate with consistent messaging and sales materials to meet the ever-growing needs of their broad customer base, ranging from large multi-national merchants, architects and developers to smaller local builders.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is an interactive sales tool and how can it help?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An interactive sales tool is essentially a visual, engaging and immersive experience that can be delivered on a variety of devices, smartphone, tablet, laptop or touchscreen. It can be used in all sorts of scenarios, including events and exhibitions and meetings and sales pitches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can really help deliver a professional, conversational presentation that grabs buyers&#8217; attention and keeps it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can help in the following ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Demonstrate the value of your product\/solution in a visual way<\/strong> &#8211; This is especially important if you have complex ideas or solutions you need to demonstrate clearly. Interactive diagrams or blueprints where you can home in on information can make it super easy to buyers to grasp<\/li><li><strong>Enable&nbsp; a two-way meaningful dialogue with buyers<\/strong> &#8211; The interactive element of a touchscreen allows the buyer to lead the conversation, so you can have a consultative conversation and quickly jump to the information they want to talk about next (no more scrolling through lots of irrelevant slides!) and tailor your content accordingly<\/li><li><strong>Take your buyers on a journey<\/strong> &#8211; Whether you&#8217;re tapping into your buyers&#8217; emotions with <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.popcomms.com\/pop\/blog\/use-day-life-interactive-presentation\/\" target=\"_blank\">a captivating visual story<\/a>, or you&#8217;re using a number of other fun methods of interactivity, like object or demographic recognition, you&#8217;re giving them an experience that&#8217;s memorable for all the right reasons<\/li><li><strong>Provide your entire sales team with an indispensable sales tool<\/strong> &#8211; This means that your presentations contain consistent messaging and look professional, without impacting too much on an individual&#8217;s own presenting style<\/li><li><strong>Host a bank of valuable content and information at your fingertips<\/strong> &#8211; An interactive sales tool can store A LOT of information &#8211; including content geared towards different audiences &#8211; so your team will have everything they need to deliver the right information, at the right time, to the right person<\/li><li><strong>An investment that often pays off in other, surprising ways<\/strong> &#8211;&nbsp;The initial work carried out when putting together messaging, structure and narrative \u2013 combined with the visual output \u2013 often translates and spins off into other marketing\/sales&nbsp;communications<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These are just some of the reasons why an interactive sales tool like a touchscreen can really deliver when you&#8217;re trying to make the best first impression in the boardroom.
