Hey Product Hunt 👋 Rory here, the Co-founder of trumpet 🎺. I’m beyond excited to bring trumpet to the Product Hunt community today. We launched our beta in June 2022 and have been onboarding users ever since whilst getting tonnes of amazing feedback and iterating on it. Since the beta launch we have released 325+ new features and 35+ new integrations! We currently have 3,000+ happy trumpeters on the platform 😃 I was the Sales Lead for EMEA at Hotjar and my Co-founders, Nick and Andrew, are exited founders of DesignMyNight. Combined we have over 20 years experience in sales and could see the sales cycle is broken. 💔 Why? Because buying software sucks. There's too much email ping pong, content to be consumed, competitors to be compared, ROI to be calculated, risk to be assessed, links and docs to be shared and stakeholders to be navigated. 😭 No wonder 9 out of 10 buyers want a better way to buy. 🤷 So we set out to change this, with a focus on Buyer Enablement and with Pods. Pods?! Pods are auto-personalised microsites where a salesperson and a buyer can collaborate to get a deal done, quicker. They are interactive, centralised and trackable spaces where the seller can add all the content (text, video, audio, attachments, embedding, integrations) and the buyer can make comments, annotations and interact with mutual action plans: All the way from cold outreach, to post-demo follow ups, to proposals and onto onboarding and account management. The FULL cycle. ♻️ Our trumpet users also get actionable insights into how their prospects, customers and partners are interacting with their Pods to better understand engagement, what content is working and ultimately - what good looks like. 📈 We wanted to see if this thesis worked…Will this method get more deals done, quicker and with happier buyers? So, over the last 10 months we’ve been crunching the data and speaking to hundreds of users and we think we’ve hit on something…. 💡 Our Pod open rate stands at 76% for outreach (vs 6% of PDFs opened on cold outreach emails), deal cycles are getting done 40% quicker and we have an 86 NPS score from the end buyer who actually enjoyed being sold too. Novel, we know! 🤯 So here we are, ready to bare our soul to the Product Hunt community, hoping you’ll love what we are trying to achieve here and change the day-to-day working life for sales, customer success and account management teams. 🙏 We of course will await all feedback with baited breath - no feedback is bad feedback in our eyes. We have a tonne more coming week on week and we can’t wait to share all the progress with you. 🚀

George Postlethwaite
I was an early beta user of Trumpet in my old role as Head of Sales at Otta.com. Two main points to bring out that we found Trumpet transformative for: 1. Outbound sales. We were just launching outbound sales with intent at the time and Trumpet was an amazing way to stand out from the crowd. We booked in calls as a result of the engagement with an outbound trumpet. 2. Helping customers through the buying journey. Customers were blown away by being able to comment and collaborate on the trumpets. This helped us to guide customers through the buying journey, especially important with larger global enterprises where many decision-makers were involved. The analytics on this was super useful for me as a manager to get insight into what was performing best for my team. In the future - I have recently co-founded a SaaS start-up and am going to use Trumpet for my fundraising, looking forward to impressing investors with my awareness of the hottest new tool in buyer enablement ❤️
Russell Mitchell
@george_postlethwaite1 such kind words George, really appreciate it. Genuinely couldn't have made trumpet without your vital early feedback, so thank you. Best of luck with the new venture, we can't wait to welcome you back to the band 🎺

💡 Bright idea
Trumpet has been a game changer for our sales function here at Speak On Podcasts. It has leveled up our sales process in a MAJOR way. Forget the bland email follow ups, or 7 separate PDF's you share with clients. It was so hard for our buyers (plural!) in one organization to share information and made an educated decision as a group. With trumpet that problem is now gone! We have closed 5 of our first 25 trumpet proposals (with many of those still pending :) ). Customers are insanely impressed with our proposals. One of the best parts of Trumpet is that we can actually see which proposals are getting insane traction and being shared internally with teams. No more waiting around wondering (or praying to the sales gods) that prospects are viewing your materials. We can now focused out time, energy and attention on those deals at the top of the pipeline. Phenomenal product.

Amy Kuner
@rory_sadler_trumpet @arnaud_belinga1 data you say? i hope you've had a look at our new analytics modal 👀 we have a much more detailed breakdown of page specific analytics/link clicks/downloads now so you'll have even more oversight 😎
Tom McCabe
We started using Trumpet at Mo.health as soon as we could get our hands on it. b2b sales is multi-stakeholder, and it's super powerful to be able to expand and evolve your sales material as questions come in from different business functions. The pod becomes a source of truth, an objection-handler, and a way to keep momentum up as you move through the cycle. viva la trumpet
Russell Mitchell
@tom_mccabe viva la TOM 🎉 Thanks for the kind works mate, really appreciate it... Also stealing the 'pod becomes a source of truth, an objection-handler, and a way to keep momentum up as you move through the cycle.' phrasing 🤌
