FAQ: Is My Content Ready for Showell?

Here's a common misconception when it comes to adopting Showell's content tools, we often hear: "I think I'll only be ready to use Showell when I have all my content in order." The reality couldn't be further from the truth!

Showell helps your content and sales funnels to thrive, no matter what level of content readiness you're at. This is especially true despite collaterals being in disarray, incomplete, flawed or needing improvement. In fact, content isn't static and is constantly evolving, so the goal post always moves.

There seems to be a chicken and egg issue, where companies feel their content isn't ready, so they can't use Showell. Still, because they're not using Showell, their content never reaches the optimal level of content readiness! Get what we mean? Let us show you how Showell can help you no matter what stage your content pipeline is at.

Then you can start focusing more on developing your sales network's content usage over time, even if the content isn't perfect.

If you're looking to implement Showell to distribute content better, gain distribution analytics and present effectively but currently don't have any collaterals to work with, fear not!

Take Magnus Falk, from Gaggenau, for example; it wasn't until after onboarding Showell with their teams that they restructured their content using Showell's tools. Not only did we provide them with a platform to centralize their content, but we also gave them a better perspective on which content they should use and integrate into our platform.

When you think about it, the content you create will never be 'perfectly' ready. It is an iterative process that grows based on new information or new visual ideas. Because content isn't static, starting with what you have is key. In any case, your salespeople will be using some type of content with or without Showell. Therefore, by providing them with a platform to easily access materials, even if it is in limited quantities, you're making their life easier. Don't waste time by getting content "ready"; get organized with Showell today!
