What is Journey's positioning in relation to Notion and how does it differentiate itself in the market?

Brendan Weitz

Co-founder & CBO at Journey

Notion is obviously an amazing tool. What I’ll say is that our users typically tell us that they're not necessarily comfortable sharing a Notion document with a sales prospect. We see Notion mainly being used for more internal use cases than external. 

It’s also really horizontal—it’s not purpose-built for an enterprise sales process. Journey is more focused on that niche, and specifically, the job-to-be-done for a salesperson following up with a client, a customer success person onboarding a client, or a founder raising money from investors. 

For that founder use case, Notion can be great, but Notion is still primarily a document. You can embed stuff into that Notion document, but there's only really one way for a user to navigate it. They have to read your entire Notion document. What we see people doing inside of Journey is more like a choose-your-own-adventure style presentation.

If I'm trying to sell to Sacra, and I'm selling a product to the co-founder, I might send a journey which deep links you to one step of it that is more maybe geared toward you being the decision-maker versus someone else on your team that's maybe the day-to-day user. With Notion, you share one document and everyone goes through it linearly. In Journey, our vision is that it becomes more of a guided storytelling tool that can change based on who receives it.
