Feedback management for sales is often a missed&nbsp;opportunity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to sales, the benefits of Canny aren\u2019t as obvious. But, Canny is an incredibly valuable customer feedback tool for&nbsp;sales.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s go over a few ways that sales teams can make use of&nbsp;Canny.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Keep track of what your accounts want<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sales process isn\u2019t always smooth sailing. Your prospects will often ask for specific functionality that your product doesn\u2019t currently&nbsp;support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By adding this customer feedback to Canny, your team can see the overall popularity of the requested&nbsp;features.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s make it even more seamless. You\u2019re likely using a CRM like Salesforce or Hubspot. You can keep working in the environment that\u2019s familiar to you and still track feedback. When you use our <a href=\"https:\/\/canny.io\/integrations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">integrations<\/a>, you don\u2019t even have to leave your CRM. Just add feedback within the CRM and it\u2019ll get automatically pushed to&nbsp;Canny.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also use other CRM fields to segment and prioritize those requests. In other words, you an easily identify what your most valuable customers are requesting. More on that&nbsp;later!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Product teams can see the exact customers that are interested in specific features. They can<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/canny.io\/blog\/roadmap-prioritization-guide\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">prioritize features better<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with that information. The more interest something gets, the more likely it will get&nbsp;built.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sales team can then use that customer feedback to follow up with&nbsp;prospects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also include helpful insights from your accounts about their use&nbsp;case:<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1951\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1951\" style=\"width: 2000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"border wp-image-1951 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/canny.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/internal-comment.jpg\" alt=\"Internal comments are one way to use Canny as a feedback tool for sales\" width=\"2000\" height=\"389\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/canny.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/internal-comment.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/canny.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/internal-comment-300x58.jpg 300w, https:\/\/canny.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/internal-comment-768x149.jpg 768w, https:\/\/canny.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/internal-comment-1800x350.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/canny.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/internal-comment-210x41.jpg 210w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2000\/389;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1951\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Include additional details as an internal comment<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>This can include information like:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Why they need a specific&nbsp;feature<\/li>\n<li>If the feature is a&nbsp;dealbreaker<\/li>\n<li>Whether or not they&#8217;d pay more for that&nbsp;feature<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of that is helpful information for your product&nbsp;team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also keep track of what specific accounts are interested in&nbsp;easily.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From within Canny, you can pull up your accounts to see everything they\u2019ve voted&nbsp;on:<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1949\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1949\" style=\"width: 2000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1949 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/canny.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/user-profile.jpg\" alt=\"By using Canny as a feedback tool for sales, you can easily access user profiles\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1352\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/canny.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/user-profile.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/canny.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/user-profile-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/canny.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/user-profile-768x519.jpg 768w, https:\/\/canny.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/user-profile-1515x1024.jpg 1515w, https:\/\/canny.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/user-profile-178x120.jpg 178w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2000\/1352;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1949\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Customer profiles in Canny<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customer feedback a great reference to have when going on sales calls.

This lets customers speak for&nbsp;themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This way, it\u2019s not just you telling the product team what prospects want. They\u2019ll be able to hear that customer feedback from actual users and prospects on what is most important. Insight about their specific pain points is actionable feedback that you can bring back to the product team! Talking to your prospects is one of the best ways of conducting market research. Actionable insight like that is invaluble for teams like&nbsp;ReadMe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">David Reed is head of sales and customer success at ReadMe. While he really cared about what their customers were saying, the volume of customer feedback was just too&nbsp;high:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cDocumenting requests and then fighting for them on behalf of the customer internally was a huge percentage of my time. Canny allows our customers to request features in their own words and sell the features for&nbsp;me.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can read more about why ReadMe uses Canny<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/canny.io\/case-studies\/readme\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:&nbsp;400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The product team is constantly juggling priorities. Being able to<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/canny.io\/blog\/understanding-customer-feedback-why-it-matters-who-is-saying-what\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">see the actual customers behind a request<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is very powerful. It helps give a sense of how important a customer sentiment is. Then the team can decide if it should be prioritized and added to the&nbsp;roadmap.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New features shouldn\u2019t be a result of who can shout the loudest. Instead of you and several other sales teammates fighting to get features built, use data. Having feedback and feature requests in Canny will make it easy to see what\u2019s most&nbsp;impactful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To take it to the next level, try segmenting your users. You can then easily see what your highest revenue-generating clients are asking for and prioritize those&nbsp;requests.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Improve your sales process and close more deals<\/h2>\n<p>There are many sales tools and processes that help sales teams to do their best&nbsp;work.<\/p>\n<h3>Some examples of these:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>In-house&nbsp;CRM<\/li>\n<li>Sales arsenal (case studies, training videos, one-pagers,&nbsp;etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Responses to sales&nbsp;objections<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting feedback on these tools and processes is great. If they can be improved, the whole sales team&nbsp;benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using Canny as a customer feedback tool for sales isn\u2019t just about customer feedback. You can also<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/canny.io\/blog\/using-canny-internally\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">use Canny internally<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 to get feedback from your own&nbsp;team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, your team can keep track of common objections that block a sale, like pricing and lack of certain features. If your team can work on countering the most common objections, you\u2019ll have a stronger sales pitch and a higher likelihood of&nbsp;closing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bench Accounting started using Canny to track customer feedback for their product. Over time, they discovered other uses&nbsp;internally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joshua Berkowitz, head of product at Bench,&nbsp;mentioned:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cFacilities uses it for workplace improvements. There&#8217;s a culture board. We use it to run beta tests. Sales reps post ideas they&#8217;re hearing from clients. It started to solve more inter-company&nbsp;problems.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can read more about how Bench uses Canny internally &amp; their success story<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/canny.io\/case-studies\/bench\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:&nbsp;400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The idea here is to keep track of anything that adds friction to your sales process. A missing help article, a weak response to a pricing objection, etc. Any customer insight can become a very valuable insight if you know how to use&nbsp;it!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without Canny, people are having one-off conversations that often don\u2019t go anywhere. Joshua felt the pain of people exchanging feedback via&nbsp;Slack:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt felt like a black box to the rest of company. Nobody knew what was happening. Requests would come in and nobody would see what happened to&nbsp;them.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With everything in Canny, you\u2019ll be able see the most high-impact initiatives. Other salespeople can chime in with their thoughts and experiences. In other words, sales management will become that much&nbsp;easier!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Stay in touch with product updates<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The product team is always hard at work on awesome new features. Hopefully, they\u2019re sharing them in some sort of<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/canny.io\/blog\/should-you-use-a-changelog-tool\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">public changelog<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:&nbsp;400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, public changelog entries and<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/canny.io\/blog\/status-changes\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">status updates<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> aren\u2019t only for customers. Customer-facing roles, like sales, can also benefit from staying in the loop with&nbsp;product.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Especially for large teams, it\u2019s easy for new features to go unnoticed. This is a missed opportunity for sales. These changes and new features might be highly relevant to your&nbsp;accounts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Canny, you can easily take a look at the<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/canny.io\/features\/changelog\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">company changelog<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to see what\u2019s new in your&nbsp;product.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also check out your roadmap view to see what\u2019s in the works. Maybe product is already working on what your prospects are asking&nbsp;for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Tip 1:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The product team can add ETAs on posts so you have a better idea of when it will be available. You can share this with your prospects. But remember to<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/canny.io\/blog\/managing-customer-expectations\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">under-promise and over-deliver<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:&nbsp;400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1510 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/canny.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/respond-feature-requests-1.png\" alt=\"how to respond to customer feature requests\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1167\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/canny.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/respond-feature-requests-1.png 2000w, https:\/\/canny.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/respond-feature-requests-1-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/canny.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/respond-feature-requests-1-768x448.png 768w, https:\/\/canny.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/respond-feature-requests-1-1755x1024.png 1755w, https:\/\/canny.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/respond-feature-requests-1-206x120.png 206w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2000\/1167;\" \/>\n<p><b>Tip 2:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The product team can also assign owners to Canny posts. That way, you know who to speak with if you have any additional&nbsp;questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a feature that a prospect asked for is finally live, it&#8217;ll be easy for the sales rep to see it. They won&#8217;t even have to keep checking. They&#8217;ll be able to notify that prospect right away, and close the feedback loop (and hopefully the&nbsp;sale).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#8217;s make it even better. If a sales manager adds that user feedback to a Canny board right away, they won&#8217;t need to do anything to notify that potential customer. They&#8217;ll get an automatic notification when that feature is built. Talk about great customer&nbsp;service!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Using Canny as a feedback tool for sales benefits your entire team<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a sales tool, Canny is there to amplify your&nbsp;voice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This includes influencing product decisions, as well as enhancing your team\u2019s sales processes. You\u2019ll be more organized, more involved, and better able to advocate for both current and prospective&nbsp;users.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joshua\u2019s team at Bench is no longer having conversations behind closed doors. Everyone is involved in improving different aspects of the&nbsp;business.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cPeople don&#8217;t think of Canny as a software tool, they think of it as their voice. It&#8217;s their primary channel to get eyes on a problem. It&#8217;s baked into the culture in a way that gives people a voice they didn&#8217;t have before. That&#8217;s the biggest impact Canny&#8217;s&nbsp;had.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe title=\"How Canny boosts sales\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q2S6i7M8eNA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, customer feedback management is a gold mine for sales.
