SmartCue

Overview

SmartCue is a sales effectiveness platform that helps B2B SaaS teams deliver consistent, customer-centric product demonstrations. It works by overlaying contextual cues and tailored scripts directly on top of the live software, guiding sales reps to address specific buyer personas and pain points without getting lost in technical complexity.

What it does

• Creates interactive demo scripts that sit on top of live SaaS applications.
• Provides real-time visual and textual cues during demonstrations.
• Offers self-serve, interactive demo libraries for prospects to explore.
• Tracks demo performance metrics and engagement analytics.
• Standardizes demo quality across the entire sales team.

Who it's for

• Account Executives
• Sales Development Reps
• Presales Engineers
• Sales Enablement Managers

Why it works

• Confidence: Eliminates 'demo jitters' by providing reps with exactly what to say at each stage of the product.
• Customization: Allows for the creation of persona-specific flows without requiring multiple demo environments.
• Onboarding: Drastically reduces the time required for new reps to start delivering high-quality demos.
• Buyer Experience: Focuses the conversation on customer problems rather than just feature clicking.

Founder story

SmartCue was founded by a team of sales and technical experts (led by the leadership at Getsmartcue) who realized that the biggest barrier to closing B2B deals was a 'bad' or 'messy' product demo. They built the platform to act as a digital 'teleprompter' for the modern SaaS salesperson.
