Content Use Cases for Customer Voice
Once you see what SlapFive and the customer voice can do for your business, the toughest decision you’ll face is which problems should you tackle first.
We strongly suggest prioritizing 2 to 3 of the biggest pain points. Here are just a few examples of use cases for SlapFive. See what I mean?
Marketing
Sales
Customer Success
Customer Journeys

Ditch the classic case studies and replace them with digital customer journeys that showcase customers responding to the questions your buyers care about the most.
Objection Crusher
Challenge:Â Salespeople struggle to handle a frequent objection they get from buyers.
Customers talk about how they overcame the underlying issue or why it wasn’t an issue for them.
Adoption Accelerator
Challenge: Customers are renewal risks because they’re slow to adopt what they’ve purchased.
Show customers the benefits their fellow customers are experiencing by using your features and services.
Website Lead Magnet
Challenge:Â You spend money to drive visitors to your site but not enough convert to leads.
Place customer stories on specific pages of your website to validate claims being made on that page.
Urgency Creator
Challenge: Deals stall because it’s not a high enough priority for buyer or they don’t feel the pain.
Instill fear and create urgency by having customers describe the dire consequences if they hadn’t taken action.
Success Secrets

Conversion Driver
Challenge:Â Marketing generates leads but not enough convert into sales opportunities.

Competitor Knockout
Challenge: A competitor disrupts deals by claiming they’re better, less expensive, easier to use, etc.
Customers talk about the incremental value you deliver over the competitor and why they chose you.
Value Capture
Challenge: At renewal time, the customer and account manager may not remember all the value realized by the customer throughout the year to justify the renewal.
Capture value realization stories from your customers throughout the year, at critical success milestones, and present them back to the customer during renewal discussions.
Buyer's Guide
Challenge:Â Marketing generates leads but not enough convert into sales opportunities.
Create a digital buyer’s guide in which customers talk about how they identified vendors to evaluate, and what critical criteria they used to narrow down their options and make a decision.
Buyer Journey
Challenge: Buyers go dark because they’re too busy to evaluate solutions or don’t know how to evaluate.
Have customers talk about what they did in the buying process, what decision criteria they used, who was involved, and how they did it while juggling their daily duties.
Cross-sell/Upsell
Challenge: There’s tremendous untapped potential for expansion within your existing accounts but it’s hard to reach new users.
Have your customer champion share their success story with colleagues in other departments or business units.
Sales Storytelling
Challenge:Â Your sales people need to be better able to tell stories about customer successes when talking to customers.
Generate a collection of stories by industry, role, geography, and company size and use these as part of your sales onboarding and training.
Customer Feedback
Challenge: You want to keep your finger on the pulse of your customers to understand what they like and don’t like.
Gather input into product roadmaps, feedback on customer service, and ideas for improvement. Share genuine customer voice, full of emotion, with your executives and functional leaders.
Sales Win-Wires
Challenge: You want all your sales reps to learn from the strategies your best reps use to differentiate your solutions and close deals, but you don’t want to interfere with their selling time.
Prompt sales reps to answer a couple questions on their phone right after they close a deal, and automatically generate a sales win-wire that can be shared with the whole company.
