Salesforce Revenue Cloud vs. Zoom Revenue Accelerator

What I like best is the ease of use to be able to track all opportunities and quotes in my daily sales tracker I also like the fact that you can reorganize the view for your opportunities. For instance, it is very similar to a spreadsheet where you can filter them by date, dollar amount, name, and several other ways. I found this to be less appropriate when we have to do multiple roles while assigning one task to multiple users. Column resizing within the Quote Line Editor is not supported in the Salesforce mobile app.

Zoom Revenue Accelerator excels at the everyday conversations, clients wanting to understand the market, how to use the product, or just to have a chat with their broker. ZRA eats these up, provides accurate sentiment analysis, and decent enough summaries that we can start to gleam insight from the myriad conversations our client facing team are exposed to each day. Where it doesn't fully align with our business model is how it integrates with our CRM. ZRA is built for the B2B industry, and wants to attach conversations to contacts associated with deals in pipelines etc. It as a product has a poor grasp on the day to day interactions B2C businesses have with their clients, and Zoom have a lot of opportunity ahead at solving those problems.

• Salesforce CPQ easily maps to standard and custom fields within the opportunity in SFDC, allowing you to avoid time spent duplicating effort or copying and pasting deal criteria.
• Salesforce CPQ connects directly to pre-determined price book, making it very easy to provide a proposal based on standard cost and/or add discounts to standard cost and reflect those reductions on the order form as appropriate.
• Salesforce CPQ provides the ability for administrators to configure workflows for approval based on certain discount %'s on the standard cost, offering a quick and easy way to route automatically through the organization for approval.

• Summarize customer interactions
• Easily locate conversations where key terms are mentioned
• Insight into competitors
• Personal statistics tracking such as overall sentiment, patience, engagement

• Our Salesforce is very messy, which tells me it's not super easy to clean up.
• I always have a really hard time removing a contacts from an account - it seems like you can't simply remove the relationship so we have lots of people named DO NOT CONTACT or things of that nature.
• Sometimes when saving it doesn't seem like things actually save.

Incentivized

• Keep improving the Salesforce integration, bring a lightning component into Salesforce with Visualforce
• Notifications for when users stop recordings or delete them
• Notifications for when managers see a users recordings
• Notifications for recordings with big deals or named accounts (custom filtering)
• Slack notifications for processes recordings for calls with deals/accounts that meet conditions for filters

The company is very easy to work with and is growing by leaps and bounds. We do not anticipate switching vendors anytime in the near future

It has certainly been useful, but now it overlaps with other tools we are using so probably we will have to be harder on ROI here

After the initial set up, end users who are not the most tech savy are generally finding it easy to navigate

Once you're through the setup it couldn't be easier. For our client facing team members it was very much an experience of. Today you're using "App A" and tomorrow log into Zoom and you're all setup. Zoom Revenue Accelerator is effortless for an end user to pick up and start using. But the setup is where you need help to understand. Various things with where recordings are stored, how calls are routed, and even who can access what phone numbers and recordings can be challenging to setup without help. And a number of docs aren't as up to date as they could be, given the Zoom UI can change so rapidly. Once they solve the sprawling admin side of the product, it'll be a 10 out of 10.

There have been some issues with multi-year pricing of certain products and services which we have been assured will be resolved but I guess are still underway, the support team apart from this has not been needed much and in the rare scenarios, it has been needed the resolutions of conflicts has been prompt and quick, so the overall support would have my high regards for being so helpful and customer-oriented so as to assure good performance of their toolset and customer satisfaction.

There is no comparison to a fully functional instance of CPQ. Nothing comes close due to the amount of customization and ease of use that CPQ offers once it's fully built out. Other solutions may be easier to build or administer, but for the users and business needs, CPQ is the best solution possible.

Chorus.ai is very similar to Zoom IQ. I think the sales team should invest in either product. I was not involved in the purchasing process so I am not sure why one company was chosen over the other for us to work with.

• Salesforce CPQ has helped a lot with overall visibility to the quote to order process. Reps have more insight into the business and the business has more insight into Sales Rep interactions. This makes troubleshooting issues much easier.
• Our reporting capabilities have improved immensely. The ability to easily create fields allows you to capture new data points very easily.
• Communication in Salesforce CPQ and Salesforce, in general, is a big improvement for our business. The ability to have a chatter feed on any object is very helpful. This can also be used for feed tracking to give some basic change management controls/history.

• Allows me to be Building repeatable scalable processes! Being authentic and creating more humility amongst the locker room.
• Provides stark contrast to those reps in the middle of the pack vs high activity top performers. I don’t always “see” the winning behaviors of the top reps, the win through effort, but many have a lot to learn about themselves and have even more opportunity to win more!
• Provides self awareness and coaching opportunities for the individual producers on their own
