About Ignition

Ignition is the world’s first client engagement and commerce platform for professional services businesses, to streamline how they engage clients and get paid.

Over 5,000 accounting and professional services firms globally use Ignition to win new business using impressive digital proposals; engage clients with a clear scope of work, and get paid on time by automating payment collection.

To date, Ignition has helped facilitate more than one million client engagements and over US$2 billion in client payments.

The challenge 

Ignition wanted to showcase the value of its product since businesses like to experience a platform before they sign up for a trial. Ignition had significant web traffic, but they needed to engage these website visitors and move them further down the funnel. 

To address this, Ignition mapped out a visual customer journey of their product. This helped their prospects better understand how Ignition’s product can solve their pain points. Furthermore, Ignition wanted an impactful way to explain the benefits of its platform to its prospects.

The solution

Enter, Storylane — an enablement platform for product-led growth (PLG). Bronwyn Karaoglu, Ignition’s VP of Marketing, saw the advantage of using technology to empower users to self-educate at their own pace and provide added clarity and convenience in the digital experience, which aligned with Ignition’s brand values as well.

Using Storylane, Ignition’s marketing team was able to connect with their prospects and show them the promise of the product in a more engaging way.

Storylane’s one-click integrations and high touch support helped better measure Marketing Qualified Leads (MQLs). The analytics from Storylane has equipped Ignition's marketing team with lead information, demo completion rates, and click-through rates for a free trial – all in their HubSpot CRM. 

“I was very surprised at how Storylane performed. We didn't really know what to expect. We knew it would be really insightful for people to be able to see the product without necessarily jumping on a demo or having a free trial. But the results were incredible, for the first month and they still continue to be great.” 

— Michael Hadjipourou, Global Marketing Automation Manager at Ignition

Sales Engineering

The sales engineering team at Ignition created demo variants for different customer cohorts with Storylane. These demo flows have customizable variables like company name, name of the accountant/champion, and logos. When a sales representative shows a demo, they create a custom link with personalized elements. This helps them give a custom demo immediately. 

They can also nurture their prospects with a quick demo in their outreach campaigns. Sales can gain insights into the engagement metrics and which prospects to follow up with. The sales team has the option to send a guided demo with a secure link set up with a passcode and an expiry date that can be shared with the prospects. 

The Future

“Storylane fits in perfectly with how we want to nurture our customers, how we want to optimize our funnel, and how we ultimately want to run as a marketing team, which is data-driven.”

— Harry Solomon, Director of Global Demand Generation at Ignition

With the success of Storylane’s product tours, Ignition plans to implement Storylane's demo experiences for their new product releases and use them for email campaigns, too. Ignition is excited about Storylane's potential for providing in-depth product experiences and demos for their prospects. 

"Previously, there was scope for error and we’ve gone from a process that could be time consuming and painful to a process that’s super quick."
