    New agents are given Balto and are able to take calls successfully from day one. They take incoming calls and Balto listens to both sides of the conversation and when things are said it will prompt the agent to move forward in different ways. It also will prompt if agents are speaking too much or if the agent isn't listening and asking the same question it will prompt them.

    This is the only forecasting tool you need. Best for CSMs renewal forecasting. Can even forecast churn as far out as you'd like. Example: we forecast 3 quarters out (even if it's just a rough guess). Helps ELT determine OKRs for H1 & H2. Best for Sales for net new opps or existing customer expansions. We're able to segment and see that mid market is closing more deals in a specific tool than enterprise and can segment down by industry or AE/CSM to see what's working and what's not

    • Occasionally it can be difficult to save specifically formatted criteria views
    • The QBR dashboard has a lot of information on it, would be helpful if that was simplified to show what is most important
    • The Salesforce integration is not immediate, so when updating opps it can take Clari 10-15 minutes to accurately reflect (but honestly still works great)

    I will renew my Clari Subscription for many reasons. 1. Streamlines Sales - Clari automates many manual tasks like note-taking and transcripts. This frees my sales team so they can focus on closing deals. 2. Increased customer retention - Clari helps me identify potential churn risks and take proactive measures. 3. AI-Driven Insights

    Clari is very willing to jump in and build out use cases. They will work to do anything for you. That said, their follow up is not great. We have had to reach out for follow up several times on a project, which is still not complete. I wish they taught us how to complete what we want, rather than doing it in house for us

    At the time of selection, Clari was a more mature product than Xactly Forecasting. We did not want to experience growing pains with Xactly. Pipeline Inspection from SFDC was just becoming available. We had already selected Clari before we learned about Pipeline Inspection.
