The challenges we faced

As SalesAR continued to scale, the increasing complexity of our operations revealed gaps that needed immediate attention. Managing more clients, larger projects, and multi-stakeholder deals brought significant challenges that impacted efficiency, communication, and workflow clarity.

1. Tracking Progress and Ensuring Accountability - In complex sales motions involving multiple team members and decision-makers, tracking progress across the pipeline became increasingly difficult. We lacked a clear way to monitor what had been completed, what was pending, and where deals were getting stuck. Relying on fragmented updates and scattered tools made accountability a challenge, further complicating our processes.
2. Scaling Transparency - With a rapidly growing client base and increasing project volumes, maintaining visibility across every stage of our sales funnel became a challenge. We needed a clear, structured system to ensure all stakeholders (both internal teams and external clients) were aligned, informed, and accountable at every stage.
3. Communication Overload - The complexity of handling multiple clients simultaneously created chaos. Coordinating conversations, tracking updates, and managing follow-ups required hours of manual effort. The lack of a centralized sales engagement platform made it difficult to streamline communication, leading to missed details and scattered conversations.
4. Approval Delays and Document Bottlenecks - Closing deals efficiently in B2B environments often requires smooth approvals, clear communication, and precise documentation. Without a robust system in place, these critical steps created bottlenecks. Delays in document sign-offs or aligning with client stakeholders slowed progress and introduced unnecessary frustration on both sides.

These challenges were more than just growing pains, they were barriers to achieving our goals of increasing B2B sales and delivering high-quality results efficiently. We needed a solution that could optimize our workflows, improve transparency, and enable us to manage our sales pipeline seamlessly.

While conducting research for a solution that would help us tackle all of the aforementioned issues, we discovered Along, a sales engagement tool that transformed our processes. From clearer communication to structured workflows, Along brought the consistency and visibility we needed to succeed. With Along at the center of our operations, everything started to click into place.

Finding the right solution - why we chose Along

The urgent need for integrations

As our client base expanded and our operations became more complex, it became clear that we needed a solution, and fast. Scaling a business without the right tools slows you down and creates chaos across the board. The challenge for us was finding a platform that could:

• Streamline our workflows and bring structure to our sales process.
• Align our sales team and clients to ensure everyone was on the same page.
• Keep us efficient while managing multi-stakeholder deals with numerous moving parts.

Without the right tool, we were spending far too much time on manual tasks, scattered communications, and progress tracking. We couldn’t afford delays or inefficiencies, so we needed a solution that could integrate seamlessly into our processes without missing a beat.

Challenges with competitor onboarding

In our search for the ideal sales engagement platform, we explored several tools, each claiming to meet our needs. Unfortunately, many fell short in ways that we couldn’t overlook:

• Onboarding processes were unnecessarily long and overly complicated.
• Most platforms felt bloated, loaded with features we didn’t need but were still expected to pay for.
• Instead of solving our challenges, these tools added new frustrations by creating layers of complexity where simplicity was needed.

What we truly needed was a solution that prioritized speed, simplicity, and flexibility, something we could integrate and start using without disrupting our day-to-day operations.

With Along, it quickly became clear that this platform was different and a perfect fit for us.

Seamless integrations for faster adoption

One of the standout features of AlongSpace is its seamless integration capabilities. For a company like SalesAR, which relies heavily on tools like Pipedrive CRM and automated document workflows, this was critical. Along plugged into our existing processes effortlessly, making the transition smooth and disruption-free.

Instead of rebuilding our workflow from scratch, Along allowed us to enhance what we already had, turning scattered processes into a cohesive, trackable system.

An intuitive, user-friendly interface

What makes Along really stand out is that it’s incredibly easy to use. Its clean, intuitive interface ensured that our team could adopt it quickly without requiring weeks of training or complex onboarding.

For our clients, this simplicity was equally important. The last thing we wanted was to introduce a tool that added friction or created confusion. Along delivered a straightforward, user-friendly experience that made collaboration feel natural and hassle-free.

Why Along was the right fit

Beyond its integrations and usability, Along aligned perfectly with the standards we hold at SalesAR. Our processes are built around structure, clarity, and efficiency, and Along supported these principles in every way:

• Mutual Action Plans (MAPs): These gave us a clear, visual framework to manage complex, multi-stakeholder deals. Every step was defined, trackable, and transparent, ensuring nothing slipped through the cracks.‍
• Centralized Alongspaces: All communications, documents, updates, and next steps are now organized in one place, making it easy for both our team and our clients to stay aligned.

With Along, we found the missing link that tied everything together. It was a complete B2B sales engagement platform that brought structure, visibility, and momentum to our processes. It solved our challenges and empowered us to focus on what matters most: closing deals and driving results.

With this platform, we’ve not only optimized our workflows but also set the stage for the next phase of growth at SalesAR.

What we found most valuable in Along

When we started using Along, it brought the clarity, structure, and momentum we needed, directly contributing to a 30% increase in sales efficiency. 

By aligning our team and streamlining processes, Along has allowed us to deliver stronger results while saving time and eliminating friction. Here’s what made the biggest impact:

1. Structuring workflows with Mutual Action Plans

Before Along, our sales process was scattered. Steps were communicated verbally, updates lived in multiple tools, and confusion often slowed us down. With Mutual Action Plans (MAPs), we now:

• Outline every phase of the sales process in a clear, visual format.
• Ensure all stakeholders (both internal teams and client-side decision-makers) know exactly what’s completed, what’s next, and who’s responsible.
• Maintain accountability at every step of the deal.

This structured approach has replaced ambiguity with precision, keeping all parties aligned and significantly reducing delays. Deals progress more smoothly, and no one is left wondering, “What’s next?”

2. Real-Time Client Visibility

Transparency is crucial in B2B sales, and Along delivers it perfectly. Clients can access their AlongSpaces at any time to:

• Track project progress, eliminating unnecessary follow-ups.
• Review shared content and documents without waiting for updates.
• Stay informed on pending tasks and upcoming steps.

This real-time access fosters trust, reduces back-and-forth emails, and gives clients confidence in our process. It creates a more collaborative and professional experience, which helps keep deals moving forward without roadblocks.

3. Smart buyer insights with the Along Brain

In B2B sales, understanding buyer behavior is critical. Guesswork has no place in managing complex deals. The Along Brain analyses buyer engagement and provides actionable insights, such as:

• Which content stakeholders are interacting with the most.
• Potential objections that might slow the deal.
• Suggested next steps to maintain momentum and close faster.

This intelligence-driven approach has been a game-changer for us. Instead of guessing what buyers need, we make data-driven decisions to address their priorities and push deals forward strategically.

4. Centralized document management

Scattered files and outdated documents used to create unnecessary chaos. With Along, we now have a central hub for all critical documents, allowing us to:

• Share contracts, proposals, reports, and other materials in one place.
• Ensure everyone, both our team and the client, has access to the latest versions.
• Streamline approvals, eliminating bottlenecks and reducing turnaround time.

This organized, centralized document storage saves hours of frustration, allowing us to focus on driving results rather than chasing files.

5. Better communication, less chaos

Managing multi-stakeholder sales processes often results in fragmented communication, missed messages, and time wasted sifting through endless email chains. Along transformed how we communicate by centralizing:

• All updates, tasks, and discussions into one platform.
• Critical information so everyone has instant access to what they need.
• Collaboration, making sure all team members stay aligned and nothing slips through the cracks.

This level of organization and efficiency has not only streamlined our workflows internally but also improved how we interact with clients, enhancing their experience at every stage.

The results

By integrating Along into our workflows, we’ve achieved:

• A 30% increase in sales efficiency.
• Greater consistency in managing and closing complex B2B deals.
• Stronger alignment with clients through a transparent and structured workflow.

As Vladimir Oleksienko, our Director of Business Development, puts it:

“Mutual Action Plans have made the collaboration with buyers on complex deals a total breeze.”
