The average sales rep sends 3,500 emails to customers each year. Many of those emails contain collateral – whitepapers, proposals, case studies, presentations, etc. – that can help influence how a customer thinks about their project. But how do they know if customers actually read the stuff?
That’s where we come in. We provide sales reps analytics on the emails and collateral that they send to customers. This helps thousands of sales reps every day work faster & sell smarter by answering such questions as: How long did they spend reading the whitepaper? Who did they forward the proposal to? Did they view my invoice? Should I call them right now?
Docket lives seamlessly in the inbox of the sales rep, which means they can gain access to these insights without leaving where they currently work.
Docket was created in Austin, Texas by veterans of Jive Software, Salesforce.com and Solarwinds.
