slideLocker: A New, Yet Proven Solution


Merrill Corporation recently launched a new solution called slideLocker, a secure web-based tool designed for sales personnel. The tool allows you to create targeted, personalized sales presentations, within minutes, that adhere to any given organization’s branding and compliance standards.  

The success story below illustrates the power of slideLocker, and how it quickly benefited a large firm.  

Merrill’s slideLocker was recently deployed at a leading financial services firm with over 900 financial advisors. This business faced the problem of supporting their large field sales force with up-to-date materials. They had already developed a catalog of standard materials, but updating, distributing and ensuring the proper use of those materials had proven problematic from a time-to-market, cost and compliance standpoint. There was no means to ensure the materials were even used. The sales force typically did not make necessary updates, mixed in non-approved messaging and omitted materials (like disclosures) which were legally required.

Merrill deployed slideLocker and solved all of these problems within 90 days. Now, at the same company:

• Updated materials are uploaded to slideLocker by administrators as soon as they are available

• Data-driven materials are updated automatically with no human effort

• Sales teams can create custom presentations and proposals, tuned to their audience, complete with custom cover pages and business card pages in minutes

• Material usage and sales activities can be reported on for management purposes

In just three months, Merrill Corporation was able to deliver a platform that marketing, sales management, and the field sales force use, in harmony, to create a more successful sales pipeline!
