Expectations for marketers have always been high. But they’re more out of whack than ever today.
Don’t just launch a new category—become the category king. Don’t just join TikTok—go viral. Don’t just increase pipeline—double high quality leads. Don’t just embrace automation—master the 8,000 tools on the market. Don’t just get ahead of the next algorithm update—predict the future of SEO in a post-ChatGPT world. Don’t just deliver more personalized experiences—address rising concerns about data privacy and security. And in your spare time? Help us become a media company.
What’s the new mandate, overall? Do more with less. 79% of marketers say they’re expected to achieve the same or better results this year, regardless of budget and staffing. One in four expected to top last year’s performance say they’ll have to do so with fewer people.
To cut through the noise, beat the race against time, and accomplish your goals, you’ll need to create efficiencies and optimize your marketing operations.
That’s where Guidance comes in.
Find out how you can use Tango to achieve operational excellence and:
Let’s start with how to drive adoption of the tools you’re paying so much money for. 👇
Modern marketing teams are inundated with software to learn so they can do their (actual) jobs. Some enterprises use as many as 91 different martech tools. Marketing automation is a need-to-have, and yet only 15% believe they’re using it to its full potential.
Investing in tooling and processes is a prerequisite to improve productivity and scale your impact. Justifying that investment convinces stakeholders the software you advocated for is paying off—and makes it easier to secure future spend.
Enter Tango. 🙏🏾
Your tech stack is stacked with resources to reach and engage your target audience, make data-driven decisions, automate repetitive tasks, and focus on more strategic campaigns.
What’s missing? How-to guides people actually want to use. And a way to make them that doesn’t double the work on your plate.
To help people make the most of every tool (and save hours of tedious documentation!), all you need to do is run through your regular process on any website, SaaS app, or desktop software. Salesforce, HubSpot, Highspot, Seismic, Wordpress, Webflow, Google Analytics, Tableau, Canva, Figma, Asana, Monday.com, and countless others—they’re all game.
When you’re done capturing your clicks, Tango will create step-by-step instructions with cropped/annotated screenshots to show people what to do.
It feels like magic, but it’s just Tango. ✨
It used to be that no one was under more pressure to ramp up quickly than a new sales rep.
But new marketers can no longer expect to announce their new role on LinkedIn and ease in with an extended listening tour. They need to be self-sufficient—and contributing to the demand gen engine—in their third week, not their third month.
Software is the gatekeeper to nearly all the work done by marketing. But long explainer videos are full of fluff people don’t need. Screen shares take people out of the flow of work. And static tutorials with walls of text lead to more 🥱 than 🥳.
When you spend too much time helping people get unstuck on software, you don’t spend enough on what really matters: creating value for customers. Use Tango to help people master the mechanics—and save mental energy for more meaningful work.
You want your new hire to know all your best practices. But you don’t want them to bombard your subject matter experts with nonstop questions.
Guidance offers a scalable way to capture operations and expertise, learn on the job, and get sh*t done—with fewer interruptions.
When there are relevant Tangos available for the website you’re on or SaaS tool you’re using, you’ll see a notification pop up on your extension.
Here’s what you’ll see after clicking on the extension to find answers (without context switching!):
From there, Guidance will walk you through where to click and what to do—right on your screen.*

*Note: To experience Guidance to the fullest, your teammates will need Tango’s free Chrome extension, a Tango account, and an invitation to your Workspace.
With Guidance, new hires can find the right answers, at the right time, in the right place. Without pinging anyone. 🎉
With Callouts, your team can share expert insights at scale—and avoid fielding 10 variations of the same question, on the same step, from 10 people who joined in the last two months. 😅
What’s better than having the knowledge you need pop up automatically, in your flow of work?
Documentation that pairs procedural knowledge (how to click through software to perform a task) with peer insights (where to pay extra attention to execute a process like a pro).
These two things are usually stored separately. Which means it’s difficult for internal teams to access end-to-end institutional knowledge—and downright impossible for freelancers and agencies.
External partners can offer specialized expertise you don’t have in-house, save you money, and free up your internal team to focus on other projects. But not if they’re constantly running roadblocks on your systems, struggling to follow your documentation, and trying to track down what’s not documented at all. 🧠
Onboarding an extension to your marketing team—whether it’s one graphic designer, three web developers, or a 300-person SEO agency—takes time.
But it’s significantly faster (and more hands-off) with on-screen guidance—and built-in context and callouts.
Tools like Slack are great for talking about ideas. Tools like Zoom are great when you want to have a live conversation and feel people’s energy. But when you want to focus and get work done, you need a tool that makes it easy for people to serve themselves.
Tango tells freelancers and agencies exactly what they need to know to hit the ground running, as they hit the ground running.
Coming up with better ways to share knowledge isn’t only important internally. It’s also a huge part of communicating all your new and exciting improvements with your total addressable market—and easier said than done.
Nothing puts cross-functional information sharing and alignment to the test quite like a product launch.
Changes to your product inevitably mean changes to your help articles. If you’re a Product Marketing Manager (PMM) in charge of your knowledge base—and approximately 1,000 other tasks before launch day—the last thing you should do is start from scratch.
Check out this case study from a PMM who has probably created a lot more Intercom help articles than most people—in significantly less time.
No matter if you have a product-led or sales-led go-to-market strategy, chances are you need demos, and you need them fast.
SaaS marketing teams often struggle to meet demand because:
Tango makes it easy to show, not tell—and instantly provide an on-screen walkthrough of how new products and features work. In context. With the freshest guidance and steps anyone can edit and improve. 🪄
PMMs are also responsible for enabling the rest of the marketing team and the sales org, so that the business doesn’t outpace your organization’s knowledge about your business.
When the runway for creating sales enablement is short to non-existent, you need a way to:
How many times have you asked Sales what they need to be successful, worked your tail off to create the 20+ pieces of requested content, and heard…crickets? 🙃
Guidance Analytics makes it very easy to show exactly what you made, and to what effect.
With Views in Overview, you can track how many views your how-to guides have gotten over time. You can filter by viewing channel (e.g. workflow page, Embed, Guidance Panel, Guidance Live) and date.
With Guidance Completion in Overview, you can see three things: Completion rate (defined by how many sales reps finish 100% of the steps in your Tango), drop-off rate, and a detailed breakdown of where they drop off. 👀
Now you can go in and confirm: Has Sales used the self-service enablement they requested last quarter? How about the quarter before that?
Note: This dashboard is for Guidance use only.
With Viewers in Viewer Activity, you can see who’s using your Tangos and how often.
With Guidance Progress in Viewer Activity, you can clearly see where you’re losing your sales reps. And instead of sending out a universal blast to address the blockers, you can reach out and offer personalized help.
If you’re a PMM in a sales-led organization, what’s your #1 cheat code? Getting customer feedback through your sales reps.
Sourcing process improvements and pro tips from the front line to keep your content fresh is usually an excessively manual practice. Which means it often doesn’t happen at all. But with Viewer Feedback, sales reps can share what they’ve heard in the field while they’re on a specific step—and help you improve your documentation from the bottom up.
If a step in one of your sequences isn’t quite right—or there’s a secret to performing the task more effectively—sales reps can submit suggestions and notify you in just a few clicks.
Collecting competitive intelligence is tricky, especially without a dedicated team driving the effort.
Do you copy and paste screenshots of everyone’s homepages, feature pages, pricing pages, etc. into Excel or Google Slides? How do you keep track of updates, A/B tests, and evolutions over time? What’s the best way to keep battle cards current (and Sales happy)?
With Tango, you can:
What’s the result? Less time messing around with capturing and formatting screenshots. More time building your analysis and sharing your insights. 🔥
To say it’s a challenging (but exciting!) time to be a marketer is an understatement.
One thing is certain: If the go-to-market strategies that worked in the past won’t carry us into the future, the teams/brands that will win won’t work the way they’ve always worked.
Tango provides an entirely new playbook to get sh*t done.
With Tango, you can:
The next time you create a Tango, invite the rest of your team to experience Guidance. It’s only going to get more magical from here. 😁
We'll never show up
empty-handed (how rude!).
