The best sales tools want to work with startups with the largest long-term value. If you're a disruptor going after a big market, we'll point you toward exactly the tools you need to succeed, plus free credits to maximize your ROI.
Congrats on your launch! I am not sure to understand: not everyone can be accepted in Battlecard, but for what reason would you prefer not to accept someone?
@rubenwolff This is a really good question Ruben. We need to strike a delicate balance - in order for vendors to want to give us better and better deals, we need to filter for startups ready to grow.
One of the issues with offering discounts and deals is it attracts a lot of churn - aka, people who sign up just to explore the product, since it's free or cheap, but no real interest in using it. This is frustrating for a lot of vendors, and hence the reason they don't want to offer open ended deals.
We solve this problem by vetting startups!
Hey Product Hunt!
We are super excited to debut Battlecard, a product created through months of organizing and negotiating with dozens of partners. Battlecard is a very unique (free) membership that gets you over $25,000 in credits to incredible sales technology tools, including ProductHunt favorites such as Tella, Navattic, Streak & Wingman.
We had two observations:
(1) There are always emerging high potential startups ready to scale and grow, and
(2) sales technology companies looking to capture future big products as users
Battlecard simply brings those two things together - we vet applicants for their potential to scale, and then award those Battlecard acceptances with $25,000 in partner credits to some of the best sales tools on the market. This includes credits to popular sales tools like Dooly, Apollo, Close, Streak, etc, as well as very high-value, niche tools like Quickcard, Navattic, Tella, etc.
While Battlecard's vetting process is competitive (based on value prop, team, etc.), we do not and will never charge accepted startups for membership. Additionally, Battlecard offers complimentary, light guidance on what products are worth exploring, based on present sales and marketing needs, and will provide a framework on how to measure ROI when building the right sales technology stack.
Products included in Battlecard's passport solve problems in lead generation, booking demos, cold emailing and calling, building a winning demo experience, closing, and even customer success. We spent a lot of time curating a comprehensive mix of products proven to create lift and negotiating credits for each.
Hope you enjoy what we've built today, and will hang around this page to answer any questions. If you apply, you should hear back from us within 7 business days. The process is short and sweet, compromised of a 2 minute application followed by a short 10 minute video - and you access all $25,000 in credits immediately after + are assigned a point person from our concierge. Thanks!
@mathew_pregasen1 Has tons of experience in this space and is always giving back to other founders and sharing his knowledge. Battlecard looks like another extension of those efforts, and an awesome way to give awesome startups a leg up as they approach sales. Congrats on the launch! 🚀
@philipg Size agnostic - we expect to accept a healthy dose of pre-seed companies. What matters is having figured out what they are selling and how they will sell - only then does it make sense to invest time into a proper sales stack!
