THE CHALLENGE
Marketing was flying blind on content usage
Scope Eyecare invests heavily in sales materials across its product portfolio. But the team had no way to close the loop.
“We produce a lot of material for each of our products, and they’re set to help the sales team deliver the messages as we feel will help the sale,” says John O’Brien, Head of Operations at Scope. “But we have no real concept of how much they’re being used or whether they’re being used at all.”
Consistency was the core concern. Without visibility into what sellers were saying and showing, there was no guarantee that product positioning or brand messaging was landing the way marketing intended.
THE SOLUTION
Content first, then coaching — built on the same platform
Scope started with Showpad Content to centralize materials and give marketing visibility into what sellers were accessing and sharing. Once that foundation was in place, the team expanded into Showpad Coach to address the training and positioning side.
With tools like PitchIQ, Scope can now evaluate how sellers position products — not just whether they have the right materials, but how they deliver the message. This combination of content and coaching on one platform gives the team a complete picture of seller readiness.
“One of our really big challenges was consistency. We know now with Showpad that everybody is singing from the same hymn sheet.”

THE IMPACT
Consistent messaging, measurable marketing, and stronger sales-marketing alignment
With Showpad in place, Scope has seen three key benefits:
- KPIs for marketing. For the first time, the marketing team has measurable benchmarks for content performance. “Once you have KPIs in place, you’ve a little bit more visibility on what the return on investment is,” says O’Brien.
- Reduced print and carbon footprint. The team has already cut printing costs, with plans to reduce further in the coming years.
- Better communication between sales and marketing. Notifications and faster content distribution mean both teams understand what the other is doing — and can respond more quickly.
Most importantly, consistency is no longer a question mark.
“One of our really big challenges was consistency,” says O’Brien. “We know now with Showpad that everybody is singing from the same hymn sheet. They all have the exact same materials, and we know that they’re on brand and delivering the correct positioning.”
