The structuring of cadences allows an overview and conveniently structures, allowing me to track prospects' engagement with my emails and preventing me from forgetting about tasks. I use it as it connects well with my email account and the Salesforce account we use within the organization.
Pros
Structure cadences.
Track prospect engagement with emails.
Integration with email inbox.
Cons
Direct integration with SalesForce.
Logging of LI chats.
If I open emails I sent SalesLoft thinks it is the prospect opening them.
The prioritization doesn't always make sense (the engagement score), with the flames.
Likelihood to Recommend
If you need to structure email conversations and ensure you do not lose track of earlier conversations you had with prospects, SalesLoft is a good tool. It also allows you to compare different outreach strategies, which I also find helpful.
We use Demandbase for tracking engagements across the organization so we connect with our prospects when they are ready to buy. We use it for targeted outreach to schools that are engaging with materials on our website.
Pros
Highlighting accounts and prospects to reach out to
The probability and scoring of the likelihood an account will become an opportunity or future customer
Tracking engagements across a timeline
Cons
It would be great if Demandbase had a live chat feature for people on the website
Marking accounts as "engaged" when they've only opened one email. It might be better to mark an account as engaged when they've interacted with more than that.
Likelihood to Recommend
Demandbase is well suited for when I'm doing any outreach. If I'm working on an account I always check it in Demandbase to see what they're interacted with and if they're highly engaged. This helps me know where to spend my time and energy on accounts that are in the market and up for a chat.
I leverage Demandbase One for outbound pipeline generation in my role as Key Account Executive tasked with landing strategic new logos. It helps identify leads that are crawling our webpages and allows me to tailor my approach in messaging & send over relevant resources that tie to their searches. With a platform that spans 24 products, this helps me fine tune my outreach & capture the attention of my prospects with what feature resonates most.
Pros
Outbound messages are more tailored to prospect's interest
Follow up with specific leads in a more timely fashion
Can understand which of my accounts have increased interest in our platform
Cons
It should be easier to export leads out of Demandbase One into CSV
More details on leads would be appreciated, as opposed to just 'someone from X company' - even generic titles/seniority/location would help
Demandbase One suggesting relevant follow up points based on pages visited
Likelihood to Recommend
Demandbase One is a great tool for any rep who is trying to crack into a greenfield account. We have an internal tool to help with current customer data points, so I believe it is a bit less effective on account management roles. But for outbound reps, it allows us to craft more tailored messaging based off page visits and trends with prospects.
Account Identification and Targeting: Demandbase One helps in identifying and targeting high-value accounts by providing insights into which accounts are researching relevant topics and showing intent to purchase. One of the main business problems it address is account based marketing metrics I use weekly snapshots of account-based marketing metrics, including web traffic, top accounts, newly engaged people, and accounts with the highest intent.
Pros
Account Identification and Targeting
Engagement and Personalization
Sales and Marketing Alignment
Cons
Simplified User Interface
Better Integration with Existing tools like social media
Likelihood to Recommend
I would say the biggest thing is account identification and targeting. Get marketing info and insight as it pertains to my account list.
Demandbase One is great for helping our team narrow in on relevant topics for outreach and to help us prioritize what accounts/contacts to focus on when they are most active. I use the Slack notifications to keep me on track during the week and to remind me of which additional accounts I should be contacting outside of my normal sprint process. I love the location feature where it highlights where majority of the contacts searching items about your comapny are located. This makes it easy to narrow in on who may be potentially interested. I also use the Sales Dashboard narrowed in on all of my CRM accounts to highlight all recent leads, most engaged accounts, newly engaged contacts, accounts with high buyer intent and the Firmographics view to highlight which accounts have the highest revenue and are interacting with us.
Pros
Web Page Read Notification: Info on what accounts are looking at daily
Lead page overview
Locations where key contacts/accounts are active
Sales Dashboard overview with your CRM accounts - great pulse check on the health of your book of business
Cons
Can be hard to navigate sometimes - i can't always find the view I am looking for but after sifting around I will
Can be hard to tell timeline on some of the notifications we get
Wish there were more notifications showing us who is interacting with us
Likelihood to Recommend
I enjoy using it for my outreach because it keeps me on top of any and all active accounts, even if they are not Tier 1 or 2. We are getting notifications from every account which is helpful to avoid skipping a beat.
Cant imagine PG or operating without this at this point. These insights are invaluable and largely effective in helping us target accounts we may have otherwise missed because they aren't top tier or aren't in a current sprint.
I've used Demandbase for 2 years now & use Demandbase One as an AE to spot top tier 1 accounts and tailor who I will outreach to. It's very handy for staying focused and moving deals along faster
Pros
Showing me my top accounts (Tier 1s) in my book of business
Highlighting who is engaged from all of my accounts across the board
Showing me where prospects are engaging with content for information so I can tailor my outreach
Cons
Make the UI extra simplified
More on-demand rep trainings
Email digests in different formats
Likelihood to Recommend
When you're managing a large book of accounts, Demandbase One helps narrow focus by showing which companies are actively researching topics related to your solution. If your motion is more transactional or volume-based (e.g., hundreds of small deals), Demandbase’s deep account-level insights might be overkill.
We leverage intent & contact data. Both features help me a lot in my BDR role to find the right people, to be able to reach out to them directly, and to learn what they are looking for/working with. Typically we need to reach out to people who don't know about our company, and we don't know who to reach out to in the first place, so having Demandbase helps us a great deal in my day to day.
Pros
Providing accurate contact data
Verifying contact data with diamond verify
Leveraging data to show intent
Cons
Creating persona's for standardized searches (but they are working on that)
Sometimes other tools have more contact data
Guessing the emails by utilizing other emails of the company
Likelihood to Recommend
One of the scenarios for which Demandbase One is very well suited is for doing your prospecting, searching contacts withing accounts and then making a list based on the data that Demandbase has to prepare your outreach. However, I think Demandbase could do better in searching for job roles or integrating their own search engine with LinkedIn/salesnav (although the add-in works really well).
Previously it was challenging to identify the right companies and prospects due to the large volume available. Understand new trends / interests of company that might be keen in company's solution. Identify departments / stakeholders that are interested in different products. It helps to narrow the scope of prospecting, allowing more targeted outreach which increase overall pipeline.
Pros
Provide company insights
Provide certain targeted contacts
Provide fresh overview
Cons
Some insights are ambiguous
Some keywords are inaccurate to indicate prospects interest
Missing contacts
Likelihood to Recommend
When planning for transactional campaigns and understand which industries / companies that would be applicable, Demandbase One works really well. Additionally when running out of idea to prospect or have campaign on, Demandbase One works well too. However in the event of targeted / strategic campaign, Demandbase One don't really work due to the nature of insights.
Very efficient for pipeline generation and to understand the trends of the market per prospect / per industries. You can personalise it, choosing your own keywords or industries you want to follow.
Pros
The newsletter every Monday morning
The details per company and per contacts
The personalised settings so that you have the vision on your scope only
Cons
I think it is not always easy to use it, I would improve the ergonomic
The fact that they use only existing contacts in the software - and not new contacts
Likelihood to Recommend
Well suited: Efficient outbound, contacting selected companies showing interest and on some topics where they specifically showed interests. Less appropriate: Doesn't always filter the title --> I have many students from university working on these topics and Demandbase One shows me them like very interested. But the persona is not relevant for my organization.
Demandbase One helps us focus on the right companies at the appropriate time. Intent data and engagement insights give us information we need to decide which contacts make the most sense to target.
We're able to focus on high-potential leads and gives us some idea how to personalize content and outreach.
Pros
Provides intent data
Gives us some insight son what content our targets are engaging with
Provides custom reports so you can build a quick target list
Cons
The metric that shows the length of time a prospect has spent engaging our content can be a bit misleading, as we don't always get a clear understanding of whether they read through the content or just clicked on it
Cleaner UX/UI. the current look is very and overwhelming
Better customer reporting ability
Likelihood to Recommend
One super helpful scenario is monitoring whether your account based marketing strategy is working based on how many people are engaging with the content. Buyer intent data is a bit more difficult to decipher so if you're just using it to see who is ready to buy, you're going to struggle a bit.
