Jifflenow accelerates buying decisions
All enterprises—and especially B2B companies—depend on customer and prospect engagement to grow revenue. Jifflenow is changing how marketing and sales teams build revenue pipelines by providing an efficient, SaaS-based mechanism to integrate prospect and customer engagements into any marketing and sales activity. Prior to the pandemic, enterprise sales teams scheduled customer meetings at large in-person industry and corporate events. Now, with Jifflenow, they can offer a wide variety of focused customer meetings and sign-ups to sessions as a call to action in their marketing campaigns and at all types of virtual and in-person events.
“Just as Marketo pioneered marketing automation, Jifflenow has pioneered meeting automation—and meeting automation is the final aspect of the modern customer journey yet to be automated at scale,” said Nima Shahian, founder and managing partner at Trousdale Capital. “There is a clear need to automate the incredibly labor-intensive process of scheduling, managing, and analyzing meetings attribution at scale, and Jifflenow is the most advanced, enterprise-grade SaaS platform leveraged by leading organizations for in-person, hybrid and virtual events, as well as the countless other customer engagements that drive the sales cycle.
