Our fourth episode of Coffee with Customers features Eric Portugal Welsh, Director of Revenue Operations at Demostack. Eric unified Jira and Salesforce to create a distributed Customer 360 across sales, customer success and product development.
Demostack is not unique in that it relies on Jira for product and engineering management, and Salesforce for go-to-market programs. And like many companies investing in RevOps today, the Demostack team saw the need for creating a strong link between product development and real customer feedback. They also see an opportunity to bring product usage data (BigQuery) into the hands of sales and customer success teams.
Feature requests and feedback are vital to Demostack’s customer acquisition efforts. This is because, with such a customizable platform (for creating custom demos), new customers often drive new feature requests for the product team via the sales team.
Learn how Demostack solved the need to track issues, feature requests and statuses, used transaction logs to identify process gaps, created bi-directional sync between Jira Issues and Salesforce cases, and more.
Eric discusses how he is using Syncari to unify data across Salesforce, Jira and soon BigQuery to provide a complete single view of Demostack customers to every member of the Go-To-Market team — helping Demostack more quickly identify gaps and improve customer experiences.
