Frequently asked questions
Q: What is a deal room?
A: A deal room is a personalized, shared digital space where sellers organize all deal-related content — interactive demos, proposals, case studies, and next steps — in one place. Buyers and their stakeholders can access everything on. their own time, without digging through email threads.
Q: What should I include in a deal room?
A: A strong deal room includes a personalized welcome message, tailored interactive demos, relevant case studies, a mutual action plan, pricing or proposal documents, and a clear next-step CTA. Organize content by stakeholder role so technical buyers and executives each find what they need.
Q: How do deal rooms help close deals faster? A: Deal rooms reduce back-and-forth by giving buyers self-serve access to every resource they need. They also generate engagement signals — you can see who opened what, which demos they explored, and when they shared the room with colleagues — so you know exactly when and how to follow up.
Q: How do I build a deal room in Walnut? A: In Walnut, create a new deal room from the Deal Rooms section, add pages for each content type (demos, docs, next steps), personalize with the prospect’s logo and name, and share via a single link. Templates are available for common deal types like enterprise, renewal, and POC.
Q: Can I track buyer engagement in deal rooms? A: Yes. Walnut tracks every interaction inside a deal room — page views, demo sessions, time spent, document opens, and CTA clicks. This data syncs to your CRM so your team can prioritize follow-up based on real engagement, not guesswork.
