How the page works
Navan sells corporate travel and expense management, and its demo page runs a clean split: capture on the left, value and proof on the right. The left column is ‘See Navan in action / Share your details and our team will get in touch,’ with a compact form — work email, first name, last name, phone, and an optional ‘What topics would you like to cover?’ textarea — under a ‘Continue’ button, marketing-consent microcopy, and an ‘Already have an account? Log in’ link. The right column is a rotating benefit carousel (e.g. ‘Real-time visibility — easily monitor company spend as it happens and see where you can save even more,’ with slide dots) over a ‘trusted by’ logo wall (Pinterest, Heineken, Amplitude, Lyft). It's a considered mid-friction demo: a few required fields, one optional intent field, and a value panel that cycles through selling points.
Anatomy of the page
Optional intent field
‘What topics would you like to cover? (Optional)’ lets a motivated visitor tell sales what they care about, while the ‘optional’ label keeps it from adding friction. It captures agenda-setting intent without gating submission.
Rotating benefit carousel
The right panel cycles through value props (‘real-time visibility,’ etc.) with slide dots. A carousel lets Navan pitch multiple benefits in one space, keeping the value panel dynamic rather than static beside the form.
Compact required set + phone
Work email, name and phone are the required ask, with ‘Continue’ implying a routed next step. Collecting a phone signals a sales-led follow-up; the short required set keeps friction moderate.
Enterprise logo wall
‘Trusted by’ logos (Pinterest, Heineken, Amplitude, Lyft) span consumer and enterprise names, supplying credibility beneath the rotating value panel.
The offer
The offer is a routed demo, and Navan's design bet is a balanced middle: enough fields to route and call (email, name, phone), one optional field to capture agenda without friction, and a value-plus-proof panel that does the persuading. The optional ‘what topics?’ field is the smart touch — it invites high-intent visitors to self-brief sales (making the demo more relevant) while never blocking the low-intent ones. The rotating carousel lets Navan show several benefits in a small space, and the logo wall supplies trust. Compared with its spend-management neighbors, Navan sits between Brex's form-only minimalism and Ramp's choose-your-format menu: a conventional split form, lightly enriched with an optional intent capture and a dynamic value panel. ‘Continue’ (rather than ‘Submit’) hints at a short multi-step flow that keeps the first screen uncluttered.
Messaging & register
The register is efficient and benefit-led. ‘See Navan in action’ promises a real look, and ‘share your details and our team will get in touch’ sets a clear, low-drama expectation. The carousel copy speaks the finance buyer's language — real-time visibility, monitoring company spend, finding savings — framing Navan around control and cost. The tone is clean and businesslike, aimed at a finance or operations leader evaluating travel-and-expense software.
Social proof
Proof is a ‘trusted by’ logo wall (Pinterest, Heineken, Amplitude, Lyft) beside the rotating value panel — recognizable consumer and enterprise names that signal scale. There are no stats or testimonials on the page; like Ramp, Navan leans on logo caliber and a benefit carousel rather than hard numbers, fitting a page that keeps the conversion step light.

Takeaways for B2B marketers
Add an optional intent field, not a required one
Navan's ‘what topics? (optional)’ lets keen visitors self-brief sales without adding friction for everyone. An optional agenda field captures useful intent while keeping completion high.
Use a carousel to pitch multiple benefits in one space
The rotating value panel shows several selling points where a static panel would show one. When you have more than one strong benefit, cycling them keeps the value panel dense but uncluttered.
Collect a phone only when you'll call
Navan asks for phone and uses ‘Continue,’ signaling a routed sales follow-up. Include the phone field when your motion is call-first; drop it if it's not.
Set a clear, low-drama expectation
‘Share your details and our team will get in touch’ tells the visitor exactly what happens next. Plain expectation-setting reduces hesitation as effectively as clever copy.
Position around the buyer's core metric
The carousel leads with ‘real-time visibility’ and spend savings — a finance buyer's concerns. Anchor the value panel on the one or two metrics your buyer is measured on.
FAQ
What kind of landing page is Navan's demo page?
It's a bottom-funnel demo-request page with a split layout: a compact form (work email, first/last name, phone, and an optional ‘what topics would you like to cover?’ field) under a ‘Continue’ button on the left, and a rotating benefit carousel over a ‘trusted by’ logo wall (Pinterest, Heineken, Amplitude, Lyft) on the right.
Why does Navan make the ‘topics’ field optional?
To capture agenda-setting intent from motivated visitors without adding friction for everyone. A high-intent buyer can tell sales what to focus on (making the demo more relevant), while the ‘optional’ label ensures the field never blocks submission.
How is Navan's demo page different from Brex's or Ramp's?
All three are spend/finance demo pages. Navan runs a conventional split form lightly enriched with an optional intent field and a rotating value carousel. Brex is stripped to a form-only page with no proof; Ramp offers a choose-your-format menu (live demo, self-serve tour, videos). Navan sits in the middle on friction and richness.
What can B2B marketers learn from Navan's demo page?
Add an optional intent field rather than a required one; use a carousel to pitch multiple benefits in one space; collect a phone only when your motion is call-first; set a clear, low-drama expectation of what happens next; and anchor the value panel on your buyer's core metric.
