Claap? It's sick.
We managed to cut 20% of our meetings with Claap. It’s been instrumental to balance efficient meetings for creative review and culture with recorded videos for overall efficiency, async working across time zones, collaboration, and a record of agreements.
I think it was really a game changer. Everything is easier and you waste less time. The workload after a call where you need to prepare things and think through what you have to do was divided in two.
I've managed to shorten my sales cycle because I replace 30-minute meetings with prospects with three five-minute videos. I've literally seen ten days just fall off of that process and allow me to go quicker.
