Reviews, testimonials, and case studies are your most valuable marketing assets. You can use them throughout the entire sales cycle. And feedback informs every product decision you make.
One of the unique aspects of Deeto's customer knowledge platform is it enables you to create microsites for each buyer persona. It can then personalize them with a prospect’s info and send them automatically based on criteria like their role or company size. This gives you the chance to differentiate your messaging, showcase relevant customer stories, and build trust with them.
In this blog post, we'll dive into four ways Deeto's personal microsites increase top-of-funnel intent for your business.
A personal microsite is a persona-based web page that allows you to display your most relevant social proof to prospects. When the prospect clicks on, they see content tailored specifically to their needs and preferences, without you having to lift a finger.
How it works for the SDR or AE:
You can also create triggers that will automatically send the microsite to prospects based on their behavior or actions. For example, if a prospect just responded to your first cold outreach, you can set it up to trigger a personalized microsite to nudge them towards taking the next step in the sales process.
From there, the customer can click on the link and see the relevant social proof for their needs, with your SDR or AE’s name and face attached to it.
And for groups of similar customers, you can templatize the process. Deeto lets you create different personal microsite pages for each of your ICPs. Once you've done this, your team all have a new, authentic touchpoint that requires zero effort on their end.
At the top of the funnel, it's all about building awareness and creating interest in your product. Your goal is to start the conversation and get a meeting on the calendar. To accomplish that, your outreach needs to be personalized, relevant, and trustworthy. Personal microsites are the best way to hit all three of these points.
The average business professional sees 121 new emails come into their inbox per day. A sizable chunk of them are cold emails from companies just like yours. And in B2B sales, less than a quarter of them will even be opened.
Personalization is your biggest differentiator when it comes to getting your prospect's attention. Deeto's microsites cut through the noise by immediately addressing a prospect's unique challenges and interests, rather than making generalized claims and promises.
Tailored content encourages deeper interaction. When prospects find information pertinent to their situation, they are more likely to engage with the content, explore further, and consider how your product or service can address their needs.
That's why personalized CTAs generate 42% more qualified leads. And it's why companies that personalize the B2B buying experience see an average of 1.4x revenue growth compared to those that don't.
At the top of the funnel, too many companies fall into the trap of sharing generalist content to “cast a wide net.” But 86% of buyers say word-of-mouth is the most influential factor in their purchase decisions. User-generated content (think: quotes, testimonials, user stories) is one of the best forms of this because it presents tangible evidence of your product's value.
Leading with testimonials, success stories, and real-world applications from satisfied users establishes trust and positions your brand as a reliable partner. Microsites give you the ability to achieve this level of personalization at scale.
At the top of the funnel, prospects are exploring solutions. They haven't yet formed specific brand preferences.
When the content you share is solely created by your business, it comes across as biased and promotional. With a microsite, you're speaking directly to your prospect's customer segment, role, or specific needs. And it's more impactful because you're demonstrating the value of your product or service through the words of someone else.
As you work with different decision-makers (e.g., a technical buyer vs. a C-level exec) throughout the sales process, you can get even more personalized. By creating microsites with different industries, roles, and use cases in mind, you can tailor the content to each member of the buying group's specific priorities.
A microsite is the perfect channel for personalized content delivery because it's more visually engaging and professional than a standard email or landing page. It features your rep's name, company logo, and brand assets for instant recognition. And because it's self-contained, there are no distractions or competing messages.
Together, these factors make your prospect more compelled to (a) click on it, (b) read through it, and (c) follow the CTA.

Thanks to generative AI, you can mass-produce virtually any type of content: blog posts, sales emails, even full-on case studies.
Now...solely relying on AI for customer engagement is a recipe for disaster. In 2023, 92% of companies said they use AI-driven personalization in marketing and sales, but the key word here is “driven.”
Those who use it successfully aren’t replacing their team with it — they’re using it to 10x their team’s productivity and deliver personalized experiences to more customers at once.
To successfully use AI in your sales, marketing, and customer success efforts, you have to know where you need that human touch, and how AI can supplement that.
According to McKinsey, nearly three-quarters of all customers expect companies to give personalized interactions. And for B2B buyers, 80% of them expect a B2C-like experience when it comes to personalized content and seamless interactions with your company.
Your team members are there to lay the groundwork:
It's on your sales team to build relationships with potential customers and convert them. And it's on your CS team to activate your cusotmer base and turn them into advocates. If you don't take the time to get to know your users, AI won't be able to bridge that gap.
B2B sales involve multiple decision-makers (all with different needs). They have long sales cycles that require a different approach at each stage, and negotiations are complicated.
Your sales team needs to know which content, customer references, and data points to use for each member of the buying group at each step of the process.
While AI can personalize content and suggestions based on data points, it can't replicate the human touch in one-on-one interactions. Your sales and CS teams have to be skilled at understanding the unique needs and preferences of each customer and tailor their interactions accordingly, and they need to be the final gatekeeper for any AI-generated content or recommendations.
AI isn't a replacement for marketers, sales reps, or CS managers. But, if you lay the foundation with quality data and a well-defined strategy, it’s the missing puzzle piece that'll help you understand your customers, simplify content creation and distribution, and scale your sales and marketing efforts.
You can use AI-powered software to collect information about your customers' firsthand experiences, preferences, and pain points with your product.
With Deeto, it's as easy as making an Instagram post. Just send them an invite to onboard themselves, and they'll set their contribution preferences.
By analyzing your customers’ contributions Deeto will provide an overview of their sentiments, in addition to consolidating all of their information in one place. From there, you can personalize your engagement strategy for at-risk customers, those with the highest engagement levels, and those who use a particular version of your product.
When it comes to integrating UGC into your sales process, the biggest challenge is going out and actually finding where that content is. If you use multiple platforms for things like product feedback and customer advocacy initiatives, nobody has the complete picture they need to authentically engage with customers.
With Deeto, your sales, marketing, CS, and product teams work from the same platform. It gives them a complete view of what customers are saying, what they’re doing, and how you can use that content and data to make more connections with people.
It also has strict guidelines for user ownership and content approvals, meaning your customers' data is safe and secure.
The other major challenge when it comes to distributing your marketing and sales collateral is the fact that every customer is different. They’ll have different use cases for your product.
Even within a buying group, two members will have different interests in the decision-making process. If you share the exact same social proof and UGC with everyone in your pipeline, you’ll quickly find it’s irrelevant to most.
AI, like Deeto’s, can assess a customer’s profile (company type, use case, etc.) and present sales reps with personalized UGC and social proof based on that assessment. Instead of sifting through a bunch of irrelevant content, they’ll be able to share content that speaks to their buyer’s use case and pain points, which drives deals forward significantly faster.
Your CRM has all your customers' purchase history, communication records, business or personal info, and more. Integrating it with your AI tools will help them create more accurate customer profiles, segment them, and run automation workflows that serve them the right content and offers.
When the two are connected, every activity in your customer knowledge system (e.g., a reference call) is instantly updated in your CRM, so everyone's on the same page.
Deeto handles the end-to-end process of activating your customer base and turning their insights into usable assets for your sales, marketing, CS, and product teams. Centralization and AI-powered insights make it easy to connect and communicate with prospects at scale in an authentic and data-driven way. Book a demo and see how it works.
Discover how AI personalization drives authentic marketing in today’s evolving digital landscape.
Relationships are the core driver of CS programs. But that in no way means you have to do it all by hand.
It's true that a fully automated approach will never work (no one likes talking to bots), but the right mix of AI and human touch can help you scale your program and activate your customer base while delivering personalized experiences for each one.
So, how can your Customer Success team use AI in a meaningful way?
We're so glad you asked...
Sentiment analysis is one of the best use cases for AI.
Word-of-mouth marketing — specifically, user-generated content — is one of the best ways to reach your audience. But people publish so much of it that it can be hard to cut through the noise. That's where AI comes in.
NLP (natural language processing) algorithms can identify words, phrases, and linguistic patterns in written and spoken content, then categorize them as positive, negative, or neutral. Advanced sentiment analysis tools can even detect the intensity of sentiments and specific aspects of products being discussed.
Most companies already use this to track mentions on external platforms like product review sites and social media. But you should also apply this to your internal customer knowledge (e.g., reviews, product feedback) and support tickets to fully understand what your customers are saying about you.
Collecting customer knowledge isn't as simple as throwing out a survey, asking everyone to rate you, or waiting for someone to reach out. There are tons of different ways to use your customers' insights and firsthand experiences with your product.
Not every customer will want to sit for reference calls with new prospects. And not all of them will want to test new features.
You can use an AI-driven platform like Deeto to collect feedback from customers through individualized and personalized contribution asks. When they join your program, they select their preferred contributions. From then on, you are always able to engage them per your needs, and even reward them for their support.
You're probably familiar with segmentation as it relates to marketing and sales. You divide your audience into smaller groups based on shared characteristics, behaviors, or interests.
But have you thought about applying it to your paying customers?
Using AI algorithms, you can segment customers who've joined your success program into groups based on their feedback and contributions.
And with Deeto's smart-matching capabilities, you can instantly distribute the best customer references to your sales team, target specific customers for product feedback, or dynamically display testimonials on specific parts of your website based on factors like their industry, product tier, or use case.
If you use your customers throughout the sales cycle, you'll close a higher percentage of deals, faster.
It's on CS to collect these things, which is why you need a shared platform that makes it easy for customers to contribute, your success team to manage, and your sales team to access.
With an AI-powered customer activation platform, you can have customers give their feedback through a simple and quick process. And with generative AI, you can turn feedback, stats, and success metrics into full-fledged case studies reps can send to customers.
When sales can access content and references through the same platform as CS, they'll be able to see and use what's available for each specific deal.
To build a successful reference program, you have to let CS be the gatekeeper and the last step before connecting prospects and customers.
AI-powered platforms have workflows and automation that let you create a pre-approved library of content for sales to use at any point in their process.
And for what isn't pre-approved, AI can automatically trigger an approval process for CS, so the process doesn't slow down the sales cycle.
Indicators like customer feedback, engagement with your product, and participation in your customer activation initiatives tell you which customers are your most active and loyal, and which ones need attention.
It would take hours of sorting through data and analyzing trends to identify these customers manually. But with AI, you can quickly pinpoint active customers based on their account health and flag potential churn risks for your Success team to address.
With Deeto's customer activation platform, you can collect, store, and manage customer knowledge from one centralized location. And its AI-powered features align your sales, marketing, product, and customer success teams around one common goal: providing the best customer experience possible. See how it works.
Discover how AI for customer success is transforming support, retention, and satisfaction in 2025 and beyond.

63% of buyers trust what people say about a business
In today’s customer-centric world, relying on sporadic feedback or anecdotal evidence is no longer enough to drive growth. Understanding your customers’ experiences throughout their entire journey is essential for aligning your business strategies. Deeto’s new Campaigns feature is designed to automate and streamline this process, allowing you to collect valuable insights in real time, fueling your core business functions with authentic customer feedback.
What is Deeto’s Campaigns Feature?
The Campaigns feature enables you to automatically invite a static or flexible list of customers to become references or contribute specific content. Unlike traditional approaches that require manual outreach, this feature is fully automated, making it easy to build an ongoing feedback loop. Invites can be triggered based on criteria in your CRM, such as customer health scores, product usage milestones, or engagement levels, ensuring that you’re reaching out to the right customers at the right moments.
Beyond just gathering customer references, Campaigns allows you to request targeted content contributions, such as reviews, feature feedback, or product quotes. This dynamic and ongoing approach ensures that you’re consistently collecting fresh insights across your customers’ lifetime value (LTV). Rather than relying on isolated reviews, you’ll gain a richer, more nuanced understanding of customer sentiment.
Why Does This Matter?
Incorporating continuous customer feedback into your strategy has far-reaching impacts. With Campaigns, you can authentically understand your customers’ sentiment and experiences throughout their entire journey, contrary to relying on fragmented or anecdotal feedback. The data collected becomes a living, evergreen knowledge hub that benefits every part of your business.

In today’s customer-centric world, relying on sporadic feedback is no longer enough to drive growth.
Building a successful product, bringing it to market, and improving it in a way that keeps you ahead of the competition. All these things start with understanding everything about your customers — the problems they need solved, where they look for solutions, and how they make purchase decisions.
You could do all the market research in the world, but it still won't beat actually talking to them.
These are just a few of the ways you can (and should) learn what your customers think about your product, customer experience, competitors, and overall brand.
Why bother with all of that in the first place, though?
I'm glad you asked...
You can use them to build trust with your customers and drive conversions. And they can sometimes give you basic insights into what your customers are and aren't a fan of, and how you compare to the competition.
But reviews, testimonials, and the like have their limitations:
Most businesses stop here, though. They collect one-off social proof to use as a marketing asset (which is definitely important), but they don't dig any deeper to understand their customers on a more strategic level.
The right kinds of feedback will give you insights into the full customer experience. You can use that info to improve your onboarding, service, and support processes. And you can use it to communicate the value of your product to future buyers in a way that aligns with their needs and expectations.
Instead of just reacting to it, you have to identify and anticipate shifts in buyers' attitudes and the methods/resources they use. After going against customers' natural flow for a long enough time, you're at a tremendous risk of losing them.
On top of that, they need something different at every stage of their lifecycle.
That's why part of your knowledge collection process should include:
From there, you can make the changes that improve engagement with your brand, decrease churn, and drive product adoption.
Even if you're getting great feedback from your users at present, there's no guarantee they'll stay happy forever. If you neglect customer knowledge while your competitors actively seek it out, it's only a matter of time before they develop a product that's more aligned with what they're looking for.
When you're continuously gathering knowledge and feedback from your customers in the form of surveys, feedback forms, and feature testing, you can build your product strategy according to real-time user feedback.
There are two fundamental aspects of customer knowledge:
Deeto makes it easy to collect feedback by enabling your customers to give it to you directly. When you invite them to the platform, they're automatically a part of your knowledge base.
And they can contribute exactly how they want — reviews/testimonials for Marketing, reference calls for Sales, feedback/testing for Product, the list goes on.
Since it's all stored in one platform, every team can access that knowledge individually and use it to collaborate smoother, innovate faster, and create a better overall customer experience.
You could do all the market research in the world, but it still won't beat actually talking to your customers.
What makes them tick? What do they like (and dislike)? What are their pain points and challenges?
As a business, this is the core information you need to build a winning product, market and sell it effectively, and retain your customers long-term.
Now...
Modern companies sell products almost exclusively online. And that means there's no way for them to know exactly who they're selling to (or why those people buy). Not unless they make direct, calculated efforts to get to know their customers, at least.
How do they do it, you ask?
Broadly speaking, we can break customer knowledge down into four separate categories, based on which department they're most relevant for.
Different teams need their own types of customer data — they need to use it in a way that makes the most sense for them. And, ultimately, all four departments need to work together to get a complete picture of your ideal customer.
The vast majority of the customer journey happens before someone reaches out to your sales team. For most of your customers, they'll discover and learn about your product through (a) your marketing and (b) others' experiences with it.
That's where social proof collateral comes in.
People want to know your product works, and they don't want to hear it from just you — 84% of today's buyers say they trust reviews and other kinds of social proof "like they're recommendations from friends or family members."
Of course, you can't control what someone says about you on G2 Crowd. But, when you can gather their feedback internally, you control the distribution.
Once you have it, there are tons of ways to drive web conversions — improving your content by adding quotes and testimonials, running ads using an eye-opening stat, repurposing UGC, the possibilities are endless.
Using Deeto, it's easy to collect, organize, and share your social proof assets. Customers leave feedback within the platform. From there, generative AI curates case studies and other kinds of content. You can even use it to dynamically display content on your website.
Your sales reps can also use your marketing content. Throughout the sales process, their ability to solidify their case for your product depends on whether or not they can share relevant social proof.
But sellers also use the customers themselves. Tons of your customers would be happy to hop on a call with a prospect, talk about their experience, and answer questions only they'd know the answer to.
Building a reference pool for your sales reps is the single best way to drive Decision-stage conversions. For each deal in the pipeline, you can have your reps search for customers who fit the prospect's persona or specific use case. Or, you can have Deeto's smart-matching algorithm take care of that for you.
You can do years' worth of market research. Look at all your competitors. Brainstorm ideas with your product team. But, if you want to build a successful product, talking to your customers is the most valuable thing you can do.
They're the ones actually using your product day in and day out. And they know exactly what works, what doesn't, and what new features they'd like to see.
There are several ways you can collect product feedback:
Gathering this information allows you to prioritize features, fix bugs, and make improvements that align with your customers' needs. Long-term, that's how you retain them and get them to advocate for your product.
User satisfaction is the main priority for your Customer Success team, and that's something you can only know by asking the customers themselves.
These are things you can mostly automate with software. But the data doesn't mean anything until you use it to inform your customer experience strategies.
What do you do with at-risk customers? How can you improve adoption, time to value, and retention? How can you activate your customers, engage them, and encourage them to advocate for your product?
For most companies, the major barrier here is access to such a wide variety of data. Maybe you can organize a few case studies or set up product testing, but it's extremely time-consuming and challenging to gather all this information from your entire customer base in a way that's consistent and scalable.
Deeto makes it easy.
It aligns all your different departments, so you can turn those insights into action and drive growth across your whole organization.
Leverage customer knowledge to build trust, shorten sales cycles, and improve conversion rates.
Social proof is the concept that people are more likely to trust and follow the actions of others, especially when it comes to decision making. And it's your most valuable marketing asset — adding a few reviews to your site can double your sales and increase your conversion rate by up to 270%.
These 3 companies have got the whole “social proof” thing down.
Faddom does everything right. From the logo displays in the hero section to the embedded customer reviews, everything is done with purpose and style.
Placing logos of your clients/customers on a carousel is one of the fastest ways to validate your product or service. It's also one of the easiest changes you can make, and it can increase web sales by 400%.
They also do a phenomenal job of highlighting reviews from third-party sites like G2 and Capterra — something you can set up with a simple website integration.
But Faddom takes it a step further. The IT migration software vendor integrates customer quotes directly into their copy (in multiple different formats).
Plenty of companies are already doing these things. Faddom takes their social proof to the next level with Deeto's AI-powered social proof widget, which they use to dynamically display customers' testimonials across every page of their site.
When someone lands on a new page, they're met with a popup widget that showcases a relevant customer review.
They can click on the review to read the whole thing.
The site visitor can even check out the user story — a quick, digestible case study on how Faddom made such a positive impact on their business.
The best part about this is, Faddom didn’t have to spend any time collecting the feedback or building the case study. Deeto's generative AI created it for them in seconds using results, statistics, and feedback their customer submitted through the system.
The most scalable, hands-off way to do social proof. A+, Faddom.
Ashby is an ATS (applicant tracking system) software that helps companies streamline their hiring process.
What we love most about their approach to social proof is how their customers' testimonials go beyond "this product is great" or "we're so happy we made the switch". They highlight specific features and benefits in their reviews.
For example:
When a customer reads this, they understand features in a real-world context, which is far more relevant.
Getting these types of responses from your customers is simple. When getting feedback from your customers, ask them questions that warrant these responses.
For example:
Ashby also uses customers' voices to reinforce the points they're making in their blog articles.
Their argument here is that the first of three pillars of hiring excellence is "continuous improvement." So, they pulled a customer who uses Asby to exemplify that pillar and featured them in that article section.
Warmly is an AI tool that aggregates hundreds of buying signals to identify warm leads. They simplify contextualized sales outreach.
On their product pages, the hero section includes a customer testimonial and an option to watch its corresponding video. Customers see proof as soon as they land on the page.
They've also embedded positive reviews from third-party review sites, social media platforms, and internal feedback via Slack directly into their website on what they call their "Wall of Love." Each link takes the reader to the respective post, so everything is 100% verifiable.
What's also great about their website is it highlights tangible results (like "282% ROI in 6 months"), linked to full-fledged case studies.
Oh, yeah. And they've got dozens of excellent case studies.
They also feature customer testimonials prominently throughout their site. And just like Ashby, they're passionate, well-written, and chock-full of use-case-oriented language.
Deeto makes it easy to collect, curate, and distribute social proof across your website. Request a demo to see how it works.

It's impossible to have a conversation these days without "AI" coming up. And, in 2025, its applications are only growing.
Through 2030, AI will see a projected annual growth rate of 37.3%. And according to the latest data from Exploding Topics, 82% of businesses have either fully implemented AI or are exploring its use. Nearly three-quarters are using it in at least one business function.
In today's article, we're taking a look at how B2B companies are using AI, and what's on the horizon in 2025.
According to one global study across 35 countries, 90% of marketers use AI tools to automate customer interactions. And 61% of sales teams exceeding their revenue targets are already on board with AI for sales automation.
Let's dive into some of the most exciting innovations in AI technology, and how you can leverage them to generate, nurture, close, retain, and activate more customers.
The business use cases for predictive analytics are far-reaching — fraud detection, sales forecasting, risk management, you name it. Lead scoring is one of the newest ways to use it.
Modern lead scoring tools use machine learning to analyze and evaluate leads based on firmographic information, past interactions, and engagement levels. From there, they automatically assign scores that indicate conversion likelihood and potential value.
Your sales reps can prioritize leads based on these scores, focusing their efforts on the most promising prospects.
In a similar vein, your marketing team can use these analytics to plan follow-up activities and marketing campaigns. For example, if a high-value lead suddenly stops engaging with your brand, you might trigger a retargeting campaign after a certain time threshold.
Conversational AI combines natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning to understand and respond to human language. While it's a lot more common in retail, chatbots and virtual assistants are no strangers to the B2B world.
You can use them to:
Nearly half (45%) of end-users say chatbots are their preferred method of communication with businesses.
That makes them the perfect solution to a glaring problem with B2B sales: the vast majority of buyers want to limit their time talking to sales as much as possible.
AI-powered analytics platforms can crunch data from different sources to reveal patterns, trends, and insights on customer behavior. They offer a granular, more conclusive view of customer interactions and preferences that goes beyond traditional data analysis.
You can use that data to:
With certain CMS and marketing automation platforms, AI can even trigger certain content, product suggestions, or email campaigns based on real-time behavior.
Thanks to AI, team collaboration is possible in ways that were hard to imagine just a few years back.
Real-time collaboration tools, for example, use AI to automatically translate voice and text into different languages — a huge advantage for companies working with global partners or clients.
For sales teams, meeting transcription is another big one. Whenever one of your reps gets on a sales call or product demo, a notetaking tool like Fireflies or Fathom automatically transcribes it.
Afterwards, reps can search the transcript for specific keywords, notes, or actions to verify they've logged and shared everything they needed to.
Of course, plenty of businesses use ChatGPT. But the generative AI space is so much more than that. Tons of B2B software platforms are now incorporating generative AI into their products.
Take Deeto, for instance. By curating user-generated content with the help of AI, our social proof widget makes it remarkably easy to distribute quotes, feedback, and testimonials across your website.
