Approach

One shared workspace for every asset, next step, stakeholder, and signal in the deal.

Collaboration

Keep every buyer, seller, and stakeholder aligned without forcing the conversation back into another portal.

Structured deal discussions

Comment threads tied to sections, tagging, contextual collaboration

Email-native collaboration

Buyers reply directly from email

Granular buyer access

Share specific tabs and sections with the right stakeholders

Collaborative deal execution

Mutual Action Plans and dedicated buyer-internal workspace

Page-level comments only

3rd party chat tied to pages → collab less intuitive and breaks

Room-dependent collaboration

Buyers must reopen the room to reply

No stakeholder-level access control

All buyers see everything

Static execution tools

Mutual Action Plans are static

AI Deal Execution

Aligned connects deal signals across email, calls, CRM, and buyer activity, then turns them into next-best actions

Why teams switch from trumpet

AI that knows the deal

Aligned Brain™ learns emails, calls, CRM and room signals continuously and turns them into next-best actions. Trumpet fetches raw sources per question, with no brain and no proactive insights.

A deal workspace, not a microsite

Buyer-first execution with low setup and a clean UI, so buyers actually adopt it. Trumpet’s brand-first microsite means more setup work and lower adoption.

Security that passes the review

SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified, GDPR compliant, with SSO and SCIM.

A CS team from day one

Every customer gets a Customer Success manager, hands-on onboarding and templates built for you, on every plan. At trumpet, support after the purchase is limited outside the top plan.

Built to scale with you

It’s the same platform Deel, ServiceNow and 70,000+ sales and CS teams use.

Aligned Brain™ and agents

Keep deals moving. Put agents to work.

  • Aligned Brain learns emails, calls, CRM and room signals continuously
  • Seller Agent, Deal Builder and Email Agent act on the deal, with approvals
  • Deal Highlights and Insights & Actions flag risks and next steps

Collaboration across the whole deal

Turn one-way content into a two-way deal room.

  • Comment threads tied to sections, with tagging
  • Buyers reply directly from email
  • Mutual Action Plans and a dedicated buyer-internal workspace

A buyer experience for real deals

Give buyers a deal room, not a static page.

  • One link for the entire deal, no login needed
  • Share specific tabs and sections with the right stakeholders
  • Buying Hub: every room a buyer receives, in one place

Built for ops and enablement

Enablement inside execution.

  • AI playbooks and templates
  • Update once in the library and it refreshes in every live room
  • Groups with their own templates, CRM settings and permissions

Enterprise-ready from day one

Built to deploy fast and scale without friction.

  • SSO, SCIM and manager permissions
  • Custom domain and white-labelled invites
  • SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and GDPR compliant

White-glove onboarding and CS

A CS team in your corner from day one.

  • Customer Success manager for every customer
  • Onboarding with templates and assets built for you
  • Chat, email and training support on every plan

Why modern deals fail

Sales is harder than ever. More stakeholders, more scrutiny, and more decisions happening outside your visibility. And yet, we never upgraded how we execute and enable buyers—same 30y-old PPT, XLS, chaos between emails, and hidden buyer activity.
