"Excellent and easy to use sales tool!" 

So easy to create and use content to share with customers. The set up and initial training/customer support made it very easy. The site looks very visualy applealing and I frequently use it for trainings, sales calls and for sharing collateral with customers. It is great to share collateral with customers without needing wifi. It is also great to be able to share links to customer via email of powerpoints and large video content that otherwise would be to large to send via email.

"User & Client - outstanding experience" 

I feel that Showell is the best sales tool I have used. The analytics are great but for me the best thing is the ability to centralise all your collateral and easily share and present in person or online.

"An effective tool for sharing documents with my clients" 

I’ve been using Schowell for more than three years, mainly to share information, prepare offers, and run presentations with clients. Over time it has become a very practical tool in my daily work. What I value most is the simplicity — it keeps everything organized in one place, so I don’t need to jump between different files or programs when meeting with customers. It’s intuitive, reliable, and makes client discussions flow more smoothly.

"Fantastic platform for enabling the sales team to shine!" 

Compared to other offerings, Showell is highly capable and great value for the business. The sales team can access the curated files they need, wherever they are, online and offline, on any device they use. Video, documents, drawings and their own files all accessible in one location. A single source of truth! Plus it is extremely straightforward for the team to share large or many files that otherwise would not be possible over email. All recipients land on a branded share page which looks professional and most importantly enables the sales team to see who has accessed the content and when.

"Very highly recommended piece of software - I haven't come across anything else that is comparable!" 

So I find the app/software as a whole very intuitive on the whole, and I use it a lot as a result. It's clearly laid out, but also has nice animations that make presentations etc pop to potential clients.
