Don’t want to read the whole shpiel? No problem, here’s the summary:
Ventrata sells ticketing and membership software to attractions in 58 countries and 260 cities. After adopting Aligned, the team replaced email sprawl with deal rooms that centralized videos, compliance docs, and project timelines per account.
Reps now track exactly who joins the room, what they view, and how long they stay — giving them visibility into 12–15 stakeholders per deal, anticipating requests, and negotiating from a position of strength.
The results: 30–60 days faster deal cycles, a sustained 60%+ enterprise win rate, and near-universal buyer adoption (~90% engagement).
Ventrata provides an all-in-one commerce platform for tours, attractions, and cultural institutions. Clients include some of the world’s most recognizable sightseeing, entertainment, and landmark brands. After a decade of steady growth, the company is now scaling aggressively, including a U.S. enterprise motion.
Ventrata’s enterprise sales motion was effective but showed opportunities for modernization. Long deal cycles created friction at every stage:
The opportunity: consolidate communication, surface engagement data, and streamline access to critical information to deliver a faster, more transparent, and buyer-friendly process.
The rollout began with a pilot led by Senior AE David Ellis, who built a sales room template using Aligned community best practices. Early success proved its value, and the approach was quickly scaled across the team. New hires now start day one with a prebuilt workspace template.
Each room included persona-specific hubs for Guest Services, Finance, IT, and Education, embedded video content (Loom, Gong, Vimeo), and staged compliance/technical files to avoid delays. Reps showed the room live at the end of demos, driving immediate buyer adoption — consistently 75–90% uptake.
“It’s just a better buyer experience. That is the key to why we have been so successful outside of our product.”

Real-time engagement data became a competitive edge. Reps could see who entered the process, which content drew the most attention, and when contracts were under review. In one case, dozens of contract comments in a short period allowed the team to accelerate legal review and close weeks faster.
“It’s like someone shined a light on every part of a deal. We see who’s engaging and for how long, so we can anticipate needs and serve our prospects accordingly.”
Senior AE, Nuvo
The team also created a generic “Prospect Room” for conferences. Attendees scanned a QR code to enter, leaving emails automatically captured. This delivered a polished first impression and gave instant visibility into who engaged and what they viewed.
“Aligned gives us a professional edge against our competition because I don’t know that anybody else in the ticketing space is doing this.”
Senior AE, Nuvo
Ventrata’s sales motion is now more proactive, transparent, and buyer-friendly:
This transformation accelerated sales and strengthened Ventrata’s professional image in the competitive ticketing space.
