    We demo'd Ourtreach and Outplay. Outreach would never really focus on what I, as a salesperson, was looking for - they liked to talk about the features geared to management and marketing in regards to reporting and the dashboard. They didn't have a trial either - and I would …

    • Groove is excellent for the use case of improving sales representative and customer success representative productivity and data quality when used alongside Salesforce. It is a Salesforce focused tool. You should definitely consider Groove if you are a current Salesloft / Outreach user and you also use Salesforce.
    • Groove would not be a good fit for an organization not using Salesforce.

    Some tools allow you to have call scripts or key talking points readily available on-screen, ensuring you cover essential information and maintain consistency in your messaging. It's not the case with Outplay. So there's a downside. Pre-record a generic voicemail message and drop it with a click if you reach an answering machine, saving significant time and allowing you to move to the next call quickly while still leaving a professional message. That's a good side.

    I actually don't have any complaint regarding groove. It's just that I will give 9 since I confidently believe that there'd be updates in the future which would be more optimal not just for us users but for the business as well. The only regret I have with groove is I was not able to use it before the current company that I'm employed

    Usability
    Groove, a Clari Company
    Groove has been an awesome platform to use for sales pipeline management. I really enjoy how it integrates with my Salesforce, Gmail, and Google Calendar. It makes my job easier by helping me keep track of the progress of each sales contact that I have. Leads are able to reply and notify us using Groove.

    A key advantage is the automated follow-up. Leads don't fall through the cracks because the system ensures timely and persistent (but not annoying) follow-up emails are sent according to your predefined cadence until a prospect replies or is otherwise dispositioned. Our team can build, share, and refine a library of effective email templates, ensuring brand consistency and leveraging best practices across the board.

    Groove is simple. Like their competitors, they give you the ability to create templated "Flows" (sequences) of calls, emails, and LinkedIn touches. Some of them can be automated, but it's also simple to personalize outreach. Ultimately, my decision to purchase Groove over some of the competitors was based on their Salesforce integration, as well as white-glove customer service.

    Return on Investment
    Groove, a Clari Company
    • Reduced several hours a week of logging time in Salesforce that either wouldn't get done or would have been done to the detriment of more value add activities.
    • Saves hours per week by delivering actionable/useful info from Salesforce into Gmail
    • Gives me valuable insight on what emails are being opened and read. This helps plan targeting.
