Announcing the Top Rated Sales Intelligence Software for 2019

TrustRadius Top Rated

Today, we awarded the 2019 TrustRadius Top Rated badges for Sales Intelligence Software. The TrustRadius Top Rated awards are the most trusted in the industry because they are an unbiased reflection of customer sentiment, based solely on user feedback and satisfaction scores. Top Rated awards are the voice of the market and are not influenced by analyst opinion, the vendor’s company size, popularity, or status as a TrustRadius customer.

Sales Intelligence

Sales intelligence software is used by sales and marketing teams to collect and analyze information on new and already established leads. These tools help to strategically build the pipeline with in-depth information on prospects, track and record customer and prospect interactions, create lead lists, conduct lead scoring, provide context for lead nurturing, and determine when leads are ready for a conversation with a salesperson. Most sales intelligence tools either feed contact data into the user’s CRM, or serve as a data repository for collecting prospect contact, demographic, firmographic, and technographic information.

As with any database, the quality and freshness of the data is a paramount concern, and is a key consideration when purchasing sales intelligence software. Another factor to consider is the size of the contact database your business has and is hoping to attain. Feedback from fellow software buyers can help round out the picture of which tools perform best within specific contexts.

Here are the winners:

Conversica

Conversica is an AI powered virtual assistant software that specializes in lead management. This product helps identify high-quality leads, interacts with prospects over email and live chat, determines when there is a sales opportunity and provides the sales representative with the relevant contact information it has collected. Conversica also has integrations with popular marketing automation and CRM software such as Marketo, Salesforce, and HubSpot. The majority (60%) of Conversica reviewers on TrustRadius are from mid-sized businesses. Many reviewers note that Conversica has helped give time back to their sales team by undertaking the process of identifying hot leads and notifying salespeople when they should get involved in the process.

“Conversica has freed up our SDR team to focus on leads/accounts that matter. The team knows they can’t touch everything that comes across the database, so they now feel confident that they can focus on key accounts and MQLs and let Conversica qualify out whether someone is wanting to talk with us or just window shopping.”
