Every company founder knows that, given 5 minutes to show all new users the product and answer their questions, they'd nail their monthly recurring revenue targets. The problem is that setting up lots of screen shares each day is a teeth grinding process. Below we'll show you two apps that make product walk throughs effortless because each step is instant, there's no setup, no downloads, no fear that it'll fail to work and no waiting. Traditional phone systems and blurry screen sharing tools are dying, this is the age of VOIP and instant interactive co-browsing.
Even billion dollar companies grow demo by demo
Intercom grew into a billion dollar platform but just look at this quote from their co-founder about how they grew:
I know most people are looking for our “one top tip” or the magical “hack” that got us customers, there really isn’t any one thing. We grew email by email, Skype by Skype, webinar by webinar, and looking back I can’t distill it down to any one thing.
Des Traynor, Co-founder Intercom
Setting up walk throughs of your product using traditional screen sharing is hell
It's grinding.
You go back and forth to schedule where and how you'll do the demo.
When it's time, you have to use a 3rd party software, go to some other link, download some software.
Then there's the fear it might go wrong and then maybe the client will see a blurry screen which makes the product look average.
After that, you end up lecturing them on how it works and they tune off at some point because they're struggling to listen as they're not actively involved.
You don't have to do this any longer.

Why co-browsing is growing so quickly

An example of a smooth demo process for teams
Calendly + Aircall + Upscope co-browsing = smooth process
- Have clients book time with your agent through Calendly.
- Call them using Aircall.
- See their screen in one click with Upscope co-browsing.
The only thing your team member needs to do is turn up and make the call or even receive the call depending on the instructions you add in Calendly.
Our own process at Upscope is to use Calendly with instructions to come to our home page and message us on our live chat when they want to start the walk through.
We then begin the co-browsing session and make the call over the browser. It works well because they can turn up when they're ready and we can get on with our work until they arrive, there's no waiting around.
