At Sagetap, we’re building a curated, high quality community where both Vendors and Sages benefit from thoughtful, value-driven conversations.
Our buyer community is made up of tech-forward leaders who are actively exploring new solutions and are generous with their insights. These are conversations with experienced operators who value learning over being sold to, and who are open to sharing real-time market feedback.
To make the most of your time on Sagetap, we recommend the following these best practices, informed by what we consistently see from our highest-performing Vendors.
Best Practices for Success on Sagetap
Present a Clear, Differentiated Pitch
Vendors that see strong traction typically offer technology that’s innovative and positioned clearly within the broader market landscape.
Effective pitches tend to:
Align with the Sage’s specific role, industry, or known challenges
Emphasize what makes the solution unique and valuable
Focus on outcomes, ROI, and key business impacts
This approach helps Sages quickly understand the value of your offering in the context of their goals and pain points.
Respond Promptly and Communicate Clearly
Timely and professional communication helps build credibility and ensures a smooth experience for Sages.
We’ve found that Vendors with a response time under 24 hours and a response rate above 90% tend to secure more meetings and leave a stronger impression.
All Vendors have visible response metrics on their profiles, and consistent engagement helps signal reliability to our buyer community.
Use Feedback as a Strategic Advantage
After each Sagetap session, Sages are invited to share structured feedback on the conversation and the product.
Vendors that review and incorporate this feedback often see increased engagement over time. Whether it leads to adjustments in messaging, go-to-market strategy, or product emphasis, this feedback can be a valuable input into how you position your solution moving forward.
Iterate and Optimize Regularly
Sagetap is a dynamic platform, and we encourage Vendors to revisit and refine their listings and messaging on an ongoing basis.
This might include testing different positioning strategies or addressing recurring objections with new language or proof points.
Frequent iteration sharpens your presence as well as signals that you are actively invested in engaging with the community.
Adopt a Long-Term Perspective
We understand that many Vendors have near-term pipeline goals or fundraising timelines. However, success on Sagetap often happens over time.
Our Sages value quality conversations, take time to evaluate solutions, and frequently return to products after multiple sessions or internal discussions. Vendors who approach the platform as a relationship-building opportunity rather than a transactional one are often the most successful.
By staying consistent, evolving your pitch, and maintaining high engagement, you will be well positioned to build trust and momentum with the right buyers.
