Show HN: Devs hate 30 mins sales demos. So a better way to do devtools GTM

[getvelocitydev]

Hey everyone,

How many of you hate the boring "Book a Demo" forms on B2B website? Now, how many of you have the same "Book a Demo" form on your website?

It seems like lead forms are inevitable, right?

But nobody likes to fill out those forms. So we built a better alternative for Devtools go-to-market approach at Chirp.

Chirp streamlines collaboration between developers and sales engineers by creating dedicated Slack channels, enabling them to work together seamlessly and close deals faster.

We don't take any data out of Slack and don't even ask for permission to read the conversations. Chirp's only task is to automate channel creation between the anonymous website visitor and the sales team on the other side.

Give it a whirl and do share your feedback.

Marketing website needs a lot of work. The videos of people waving and jumping into pools doesn't fit who you're selling to. It uses language such as "goes down by like 20%". A little casual tone for enterprise B2B. Its really unclear what your software actually does, and the calls to action make it seem like I'm about to get added to your Slack channel, which I really don't want until I'm ready to actually talk. Sorry for being a bit harsh but even as a tech person and heavy Slack user, this is confusing. Funnily enough, I'd love to see a demo video of how it works haha.

Agreed, we can do a lot better with the landing page. Right now, it's just a $39 Framer template with stock videos and we didn't change anything.

For the CTA placement, we are working out options to explicitly mention it is private and we don't have access to any of the conversation data.

The whole idea behind the Slack channel is to enable interaction only when you are ready. I understand a demo video will help a lot here. Thanks a lot for your feedback, we will be working on sorting issues one by one.
