Markus Jenul
@manualwise Thank you. appreciate it :)
Gerald Zankl
@manualwise Thank you Manuel for the great support over the years. Great working together with you!!!
Markus Jenul
@manualwise btw. what other playbooks would you like to see in the platform?
Manuel Weiss
@markus_jenul1 I think HR/Onboarding playbooks would be great. Would be very helpful for any organization, but especially with the push towards more remote work onboarding new employees is becoming even more complex.
Markus Jenul
@manualwise Such a good idea!! thank you!! we will work on those one's for sure and keep you posted!!
Mehdi Djabri
That's very useful, congrats on the launch!
Markus Jenul
@mehdidjabri Thank you Mehdi!! what would you use it for first and what playbooks would you like to see in the platform?

👋 Hey PH! And thank you @nikkielizdemere for the hunt! Gerald here, Co-founder & CEO of Kickscale. Along with @markus_jenul1 and @herwig_gangl, we founded Kickscale to empower marketing & sales teams with Playbooks from the best teams in the world. 🌎 I was a former manager of marketing & global sales teams. I failed to build the right processes and didn't make my team as successful as they could have been. I don't want any manager to go through the same painful journey. I want you and your team to succeed so you and your team hit your goals. 🎯 So, imagine you know your goals, but not how to get there? Frustrating, right? Searching and applying best practices to achieve your and your team’s goals are a huge challenge. Ever spent time explaining to your team all the necessary steps to complete a project? It sucks and takes a lot of time. Managing (remote) teams and successfully completing projects in time is a real pain. And explaining and managing all steps to achieve your goal is painful and takes a lot of time. With an all-star team, we set out to make it dead simple to turn questions like “How to prepare a successful event or trade show?”, or “How to run a successful marketing campaign?”, or “How to onboard new team members?” into easy to understand How-to-solutions. But - what’s our secret? Playbooks are the secret. Playbooks are best practice processes with know-how from the best teams in the world which you can apply. What started as an idea to organize teams better blossomed into the easiest way to access best practice processes to execute them step by step with your team. Today our beta users use Kickscale to: ⏰ Manage and educate a remote workforce where asynchronous communication is key 📹 Record your own step-by-step how-to guides or use pre-defined ones so your team knows exactly what to do and how 📋 Get access to predefined best practices and SOPs for your teams ⚙ Organize and manage projects faster, e.g. Live and virtual events, marketing campaigns, etc. 🤓 Onboard and train new employees Kickscale gives you access to predefined best practices which help you to complete your projects faster. You can use our templates or make your own ones. This saves you and your team time and energy. The best part: you become your team’s hero! 🚀 How exactly do we make that happen? 🔍 Download the best practices from our library into your Kickscale workspace 📝 Edit and adjust the best practices, or create one yourself 🎨 Create a project and share the best practices with your team 🎯Manage the execution of various projects Starting today, anyone can get access to our best practices and our platform for free by visiting https://kickscale.com. We are building our paid features in the months to come, but there will always be a free version. We’re excited and grateful to hear what you think. We know this group’s feedback will make our product better. Thanks for reading! 🙏 Let’s Kickscale and make every team successful! 🚀 Yours, Gerald

@nikkielizdemere @markus_jenul1 @herwig_gangl @geraldzankl Looking forward to learn more about it! :-D My focus as a consultant is "Digital Sales" where Sales Playbooks are gaining a lot of momentum in the digital world - helping in Sales & Marketing Automisation and defining a clear repeatablle process based on best-practices.
Gerald Zankl
@nikkielizdemere @markus_jenul1 @herwig_gangl @berndb Thank you for your comment Bernd. What playbooks are you most interested in? Right now we have the following in our platform: - Sales team onboarding - Meeting management - Trade show organization - ... What would you like in there in addition?
Gerald Zankl
@morganb @boaticus @danmartell @steli @seanellis @chrismessina What do you guys think about the Kickscale playbooks?
Gerald Zankl
What is your biggest problem where we can help you?
Stefan Lederer
Awesome, congratulations to the kickscale team! We are using the product already very successful, it helps is to align different teams, onboard people quicker and just to perform a lot better. i can highly recommend it, and the folks are awesome!
Gerald Zankl
@slederer Thank you so much and thank you for the great support over the last couple of years. It is great to develop the product together with you guys. Looking forward to scaling even further and helping the Bitmovin team as best as we can 🤟
Gerald Zankl
@slederer As a CEO of a huge company, what processes would be for you of interest to align marketing and sales teams?
Stefan Lederer
@geraldzankl Alignment on trade shows is a really important process. Marketing and sales has to be super aligned for that to maximise the ROI out of events. Furthermore, I think onboarding is a huge topic, especially in sales. The faster we can onboard people the better.
Gerald Zankl
@slederer 100% agree and thanks for your comment.
Afamia
@geraldzankl Congrats! I agree with @slederer. Using kickscale for onboarding is a great idea and a excellent tool for knowledge management!
Markus Hafellner
Great launch and super useful product! Congrats 🥳🚀
Gerald Zankl
@mhafellner Thanks Markus. What kind of processes would help you in your day to day job?
Markus Hafellner
@geraldzankl from my perspective having alignment on GTM campaigns in the whole revenue organization would be huge (PMM, Marketing, Sales, BD, Solutions)! So much energy and time is wasted and opportunities are missed because of bad information flow and positioning.
Matthias Seiderer
This will be the must have for sales and marketing teams. Thank you for bringing these closer together!
Gerald Zankl
@matthias_gasser Thank you very much. As an expert, what processes would you like to see in the platform? Especially processes in sales and marketing?
Klaus-M. Schremser
I ❤️ the idea and we have the need for a structured onboarding via playbooks and checklists ourselves. Well done!!
Gerald Zankl
@kmschremser Thanks for your feedback. Feel free to test the product directly via https://app.kickscale.com and ping us all the time if you have any questions. There is a big need for more structure to be successful.
Gerald Zankl
@kmschremser What processes would you like to see in the platform?
Klaus-M. Schremser
@geraldzankl As I see Kickscale as a great opportunity to get new team members up to speed fast, I would love to hand out playbooks for our major tools (how to use them) and major processes (Product-Led-Growth approaches). Although there's a lot to read, but every company has a different approach and this individuality should be reflected somehow in the playbooks. Do you know what I mean?
Cim Bayer
@geraldzankl @kmschremser Love your input Klaus. Reading a lot when starting at a new company is necessary. We tried to reduce that effort by implementing a video function that is supported with our playbooks. Just record a quick video 😃
Mo Bingham
So excited to see Kickscale on PH 👏! Love the idea of having access to playbooks from the best teams in the world. What are some of your favorite playbooks @geraldzankl & @markus_jenul1? Congrats to the whole Kickscale team!
Markus Jenul
@geraldzankl @mo_bingham Thank you for the support MO. so I am a marketer and my favorite one's are the event management and content strategy playbooks :) basically everything that helps to build leads and pipeline. I think @geraldzankl has other one's that he likes. How about you? Which one would you like to see ? :)
Gerald Zankl
@markus_jenul1 @mo_bingham Hi Mo, nice to read from you and thanks for your comment. Hopefully we can catch up soon. The playbooks are structured processes which you can easy execute with your whole team. my favourite ones are 1) onboarding of new team members as we have video included and it is so structured and helps everyone to get onboarding quickly 2) preparation for marketing campaigns, e.g. this launch, events, trade shows, ... Where could Kickscale help you the most?
Dominic Miglar
Awesome product! Had the opportunity to work with you in the past and therefore I can say that It's not surprising at all that your producthunt post gets viral just like that! Congratz on the official launch! :D
Markus Jenul

Indeed, playbooks play an important role in successfully managing tasks. Thanks to Kickscale @geraldzankl, the playbooks can be used as templates !!! Thanks
Gerald Zankl
@aymeric_sans2 Thanks for your comment. You nail it. That's why we have build playbooks, use them as templates and save yourself and your time a lot of time in the execution. What playbooks would be of interest to you? We want to build playbooks together with you and get them into the platform so you can execute them every time you need them.
Gerald Zankl
@aymeric_sans2 And imagine you have the playbooks from the best teams and best companies in there. Like from leading Y Combinator companies, high growth startups etc.
Cim Bayer
