Salesloft vs. Zoom Revenue Accelerator

I find it to be the best resource for scheduling calls with clients. Specifically when the call includes multiple people using Salesloft, it's so simple and easy to use to send open times to client and then to be able to send active links to the client where with one click the calendar invite shows up on my calendar? it's the best most efficient tool I have in my toolbelt at the moment. When it comes to logging, it's also simple but I wish I could add a contact to SL from the Microsoft integration.

Training on key features is difficult, so adoption of the platform is not where we would like it to be after 6 months of being deployed. Our team works primarily within Salesforce, so it would be helpful to have additional focus on adding ZRA components to the Salesforce managed package. Would love to see on overall customer summary for example. Rather than having to go to each conversation to get details of the customer journey. The price point for ZRA is quite high compared to meetings & phone so I would like to see continuous growth/new features being released to justify the spend. With ZRA, the sales leaders can share tactics and use cases on how they utilize ZRA to manage their individual teams. The analytics easily shows team members who are exceeding or who may need additional support based on (overall customer sentiment & engagement).

• Sequence's and AB Testing
• Live Tracking Data and Insights into email performance
• In house analytics to monitor not only the performance of campaigns but also specific users/reps using the platform
• integrates well with the rest of our tech stack (apollo + salesforce)

• Summaries and Next Steps
• Separation of key moments during the meeting
• Pulling data from Salesforce of stage the convo took place in, amount, owner, etc
• Coaching features and insights such as talk ratios, next steps, scorecards

• The inbound dialer. I don't particularly like having to open a second window just for inbound calls. Especially if I forget to close it during a meeting and get interrupted.
• The texting interface. I can have emails templated, to fill fields pulled from the lead profile, like name, company, positions, etc. I would like the same functionality for texting, especially since I send as many texts as I do emails. Even being able to save snippets or templates would be nice.
• On the note of texting, having a dedicated tab in the People view for text messages would do a lot to let me catch up on other people's conversations with the lead, instead of having to find them on the main Activity tab.

• Zoom IQ's graphics need improvement to be more intuitive.
• Zoom IQ does not allow you to analyze several voices simultaneously. It becomes very complicated to expand the conversations to more students.
• Personalized feedback does not always respond correctly to what has been said. There is room for improvement in audio and voice analysis.

SalesLoft is absolutely VITAL to our daily operations. We could not function without it or a program like it. Speaking as a Sales Person who has had to operate without a product like this, the difference is night and day. The ability to stay organized, automate tasks, easily log activities and notes, review calls, and coach team members is an absolute gamechanger.

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

Drift was extremely easy for both our demand gen team and SDR to jump right into. It was feature rich and purpose-built for marketers—it was remarkably easy to connect our marketing automation, CRM, and more to the platform and get everything to work together. Now the ability to create digital experiences and conversation landing pages is democratized—empowering our team to do better work and provide better prospect/customer experience.

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.

The availability is pretty good, we do sometimes have errors or delays in syncing activities but nothing that has been too detrimental to our workflow. Most recently we had an issue with Lofting through Outlook due to a change in security token that took a few weeks to resolve but it is fixed now.

Yes timely and easy to use. The only delays we have are when we run our big month sales blitz and activities take some time to sync to the reporting as well as SalesForce

The support team was very responsive but at the end of the day they took a long time to fix our issue. The issue did get fixed, though, so that is what matters. Very nice people who are there to help in any way they can.

We had some virtual training with our CSM which was very well constructed. It took some time to get into the full swing of things but with a few weeks of hands on experience I was feeling confidant. The SL team was always available to answer questions or jump an a call to walk us through stuff. I also used the Customer Help Center for a few self guided learnings on how to use specific features related to reporting and team management.

Salesloft Rhythm (BDR/SDR home screen) provides a landing page where all the prioritized work is queued for immediate execution. The UX is clean and the only other elements is a stream of activity indicating prospects interacting with content (e.g. clicking a link in an email). My experience with other tools was that their "home" pages had a dozen icons and it was confusion for someone new to the platform to figure out where to go to work on the next item.

Zoom fit into our workflow better than the rest. While all the other tools certainly worked well, and could do the job, we felt the most comfortable with Zoom. In particular the ease of use. Specifically, at the time we were assessing the tools Aircall was a product we had used for a number of years, but call quality was not something that came often. And we'd have as many as 35% of calls drop due to connection issues. (Not an issue with Zoom, call quality is >98%). Dialpad was also one we extensively tested and trialed. It felt far better suited to a team larger then us, and one with a broader Support function then our initial use case. The Salesforce offering just felt the most expensive for the least value. While it would work probably the best with our CRM, it was clunky to operate from an end user POV.

The scalability was pretty good, we started with 4 or 5 users on one team and scaled into 30+ members across 3 teams

• Seen a 200% increase in productivity from our SDR team.
• We now have robust data about when the best times to call are and can focus our power hours around those.
• We now have an audit history around our emails sent and can dive in and make small changes to templates and snippets to continuously increase our open and click rates.

• Conversation Intelligence Software has had a positive impact on my career in sales. I like how you can see data regarding how your conversations went.
• In general, Zoom calls, where the video is turned on, have helped me increase the number of deals I close.
• With my team, it is easy to share a clip of the video I want my manager to view.
