I am a little bugged by how you tricked me into signing up, asked my details including a phone number but then made me book in a time with your team. This is deception in my opinion. You asked me whether I wanted a free trial, which I did. I signed up but now I have to speak to someone to get it ? Why not say that upfront then ?

We have not yet perfected onboarding for Accord, especially for new users. Not every company needs Accord today. We add the highest value for multi-stakeholder opportunities.

Given that, we ask for time to understand your current sales and/or onboarding process, translate that to repeatable playbooks within Accord, and introduce the best practices we've found on how to engage your customers using the platform.

That being said, if you'd like a free trial workspace (which I'm happy to create) shoot me an email wayne at inaccord dot com.

We are a 30 people team with 10 reps on the floor. We use pipedrive and the bar to win a smaller team like us is set too high. We currently pay $2500 P/M but with this tactic, I suspect you will never win my business.

You’re a sales and onboarding startup and you haven’t learned yet that this isn’t how people want to buy or be onboarded? Good luck.
