Big Four Firm Accounting • $15.5M Fortune 50 Deal • 7,000+ Users

How Zoomforth helped a proposal team at a Big Four firm walk the talk on digital and close multiple Fortune 50 deals

The microsites are a wonderful tool to help us in client pursuits. They allow us the ability to really go deep on our difference, accolades, client case studies, and videos that we normally would not be able to present in a PowerPoint or RFP response. In addition, the ability to add industry-specific insights and information provides us the opportunity to keep the client engaged throughout the entire process and increase our win rate.

The Challenge

In a saturated market, this Big Four accounting firm was seeking a more meaningful way to engage in the sales cycle and demonstrate their digital DNA. Many of their competitors were not only offering similar services, but their proposals looked nearly identical. Communication was lacking dynamicity while email and PowerPoints as the sole medium felt outdated.

In reviewing their methodology, the firm identified an opportunity to differentiate themselves by introducing a more digital mindset to RFPs and proposals.

The Solution

For the past three years, this pursuits team has leveraged Zoomforth to create microsites to deliver proposals, to enrich and anchor orals, to enhance and centralize ongoing project delivery, and to support and educate the team by creating repositories for internal use.

In that time their prospects, clients, and team have benefited from an engaging and differentiated experience on the front end, and agility and ease of use on the back end.

In their first test of Zoomforth, they created a microsite that not only engaged the client on an unprecedented level, but — in leveraging the analytics the site produced — led to them winning the deal. Since that initial engagement, their use of Zoomforth has transcended to engagements beyond pursuits — including ongoing relationship management and internal support, with clients recognizing it as a huge differentiator as compared to delivering through PowerPoint decks.

The Impact

The use of microsites in the sales process has allowed the firm to show their clients that they are truly digital. They are able to move away from printing out thick paper decks and presenting structured slide shows to be more dynamic with their clients. Microsites allow them to put the depth of their thought leadership and experience at the fingertips of their clients — all in an interactive, digital format that is simple to update on the fly.

The firm has seen year-over-year growth in productivity, win rate, and client satisfaction. More than 7,000 users of internal microsites across the firm have improved employee engagement and user experience.

As a result of the success that the team has found using Zoomforth, coupled with Zoomforth's willingness to collaborate on its product roadmap, Zoomforth is now rolling out the platform within other member firms.
