Overall, it's been a great experience with the product and the team, which is why we renewed.” “As a former BDR, I would've killed for Peerbound. It's a goldmine for outbound teams, serving up ready-to-send content tailored to each deal. As a customer marketer, I love that it puts our best proof in motion automatically. Why wouldn't every rep want this right in their inbox?” “It's a night and day difference working with you guys versus with them.” "Being able to draft and send quotes directly from Peerbound to the customer and tag the CSM eliminates waiting. Our PR lead will love this feature as it speeds up PR quote approvals massively." "This is why we chose Peerbound. We knew that y'all would continue to build and improve. I'm really proud of that decision and I can't wait to use this. This is awesome." "I found the Slackbot useful when trying to write copy or brainstorm competitor content. It is so helpful to have access to those quotes and links to calls for digging deeper." "I haven't been more excited about a tool than Peerbound. It's so easy, so intuitive, and it makes sense. The level of service is phenomenal." "The biggest update I wanted to share with you is that I pitched the Peerbound integration to Slack to the sales leaders yesterday morning. They were ecstatic-halfway through my presentation, they said, 'Stop, we're sold. Don't sell beyond the selling, we're already sold. How do we roll this out to everybody?' I told them we need to do a pilot, and they asked, 'Do we have to? Can't we just roll it out to everybody?' They were all super excited." "I'm super stoked about the impact that this tool can have for not just our team selfishly-it makes our job easier to not be that source of information. The amount of times people ask me, 'Hey [Peerbound customer], do you have a customer on this or that?'-me not having to answer that is so easy."
