Playbooks is great for sales organizations that need help with efficiency and cadence. It is well suited for heavy calling and high emails on accounts. Playbooks also does a great job at taking the guesswork out of accounts for my reps. The only time I would think that Playbooks would be less appropriate would be if a company already has a similar system in place.

As a whole, I really enjoy using Tellwise. From using it to track one-off emails to setting up entire Salesflows, it's a very simple tool that lets me focus on my job instead of trying to track down emails and activity. It's user-friendly and the support we get from the Tellwise team is amazing.

Pros
  • Organization with tasks - Playbooks tells reps what step they are on with each account
  • Keeping reps focused & accountable - now, they know exactly what is expected of them for that day
  • Time efficiency - realizing what accounts to continue working, and what accounts to stop working

  • Allows for customization, automation, and scaling of outreach
  • Works as a secondary and well done CRM to compliment or serve as a main internal CRM. Also helps organize your prospects.
  • Tracks customer actions and engagement at a very convenient level, with easy to read data.

Cons
  • There does seem to be a lot of steps involved for each play when it would be nice to have fewer steps to send out an invite to an upcoming webinar.
  • It would also be great to have more VOD's that we could watch on our own time to learn more about the tool.
  • It would also be great to have the ability to see exactly when they open an email and forward it on.

  • In my experience, super unreliable product... too many bugs for a knowledge worker
  • In my opinion, overpriced. They are making money for its affiliation with sales os product.
  • In my experience, filtering is messed up and buggy. No real support for Account based focus campaigns... Just good for basic calling, recording, and auto sync with CRM... everything else, sucks. Not reliable

I think the automated workflows and outstanding support are game-changers. I typically won't use a software platform that does not offer exceptional real-time support.

Usability
It only took a day to get comfortable with Playbooks. The ease of use and overall usability is fantastic in the sense that it's pretty straightforward once you get enough repetitions in the tool. I also like all of the videos and resources available if support is needed

It works very well with the tools and other Zoom Info products that we already use. The fact that it integrates is a huge win for us because we designed our CRM internally so we are very sued to working a certain way. We can use this to boost the information and tools from our pre-existing ZoomInfo products as well, so it brings out a lot of value.

You can do so much more with Playbooks. the power dialer that we had previously just allowed us to take a few notes and disposition a call. with Playbooks, you can keep track of accounts. Keep track of conversations, lists of what needs to get done, schedule calls and much much more.

ZoomInfo Engage is by far in my opinion the most robust, well-known, and widely used tool in terms of sales and business pursuits and CRM use, specifically for acquisition. Even when we've inquired as to what other companies can offer they often can only lower the base price we would pay. ZoomInfo Engage provides the highest level of access to information and tools while maintaining reasonable costs.

  • We decided not to use Tellwise for the time being and will test it again in one year because what I saw so far is promising.
  • We haven't seen any substantial ROI.
  • If you need to track content shared with prospects and stakeholders, Tellwise may be exactly what you need.
