October 4, 2023

Showpad is honored to announce that we have been named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Sales Readiness Solutions, Q4 2023 report. We believe our recent recognition is validation for our commitment to deliver game-changing value to our customers. We consider it a reward for the hard work Showpad has done across the platform, especially for training and coaching.

We are a global sales enablement front-runner with a comprehensive solution that helps sales and marketing teams improve win rates, close deals faster, and ramp new sellers quickly. And in today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, buyer expectations are shifting —and it’s imperative sales and marketing teams have the right tools to keep up.

Buyers now have greater and easier access to information, and buyers expect sellers to go far beyond providing basic information about a product or service. Sellers must help buyers make sense of the information, navigate complexities, and tailor conversations to the buyer’s specific business needs. In short, sellers need to be strategic guides to buyers.
