What is a digital sales room?
A digital sales room is a secure, shared space for sellers to inform, interact and negotiate with buyers. Also known as a dealroom, it is a branded, living resource for interactive sales collateral: from proposals, to case studies and testimonials, white papers, and even personalized introduction videos. With a digital sales room, buyers can access and engage with sellers' content via a single, shareable link.
Digital sales rooms give buyers a streamlined and convenient purchasing experience in a secure microsite or digital resource. DSRs also empower sales professionals by providing real-time insights into buyer behavior, including changes to proposals, additions of new stakeholders, and performance of sales collateral.

Does it work from a CRM?
Short answer: yes. It would not be an efficient sales tools if reps had to toggle between their CRM and the digital sales room platform to run a smooth sales process. Let's explore how a deal room impacts a revenue team.
For sales reps
They can operate a full sales cycle when integrating a digital sales room into their CRM environment, from creating a room using templates, syncing data fields via merge tags from their CRM to the room itself, tracking prospect interaction, all the way to creating a quote and get the deal signed.
For sales enablement
Sales enablement leaders can create templates of proposals and sales collateral in the digital sales room platform and ensure they are all up-to-date. Reps can then easily find them from the CRM environment and share the most relevant content to their prospects.
For revenue operations
Revenue operations, or sales operations leaders, can ensure reps follow a painless sales process directly from their CRM environment. They can further reduce inefficiencies by automating tasks from a digital sales room to their preferred sales tools.
For sales leaders
Sales leaders can combine their CRM sales pipeline with real-time insights from a digital sales room to better coach reps on closing deals and to create a more repeatable sales process to meet quota.
