6sense vs. Folloze

If you want to create a more targeted ad approach to your marketing strategy, you need 6sense to do it well. If your team is not willing to look at things from an account based approach and are stuck in the old school way of thinking about MQLs, then this may be a tough sell to sales.

Folloze is a solid tool for creating personalized experiences and micro-targeted campaigns. Being able to deliver a ton of information, content, and/or useful links based on specific segments or personas. Folloze makes it easy to bring together content around a specific narrative so we can speak impactfully to specific market segments.

• Product support: They are constantly adding new features and innovating.
• Customer success: Everyone who uses the platform internally is in a customer-facing role and there is a massive amount of self-service and regularly-scheduled live training available.
• Orchestration: We are able to orchestrate account and content acquisition with ease to add qualified accounts to our CRM and kick-start contact acquisition for sales.
• Advertising: The advertising capabilities continue to grow. You can retarget individuals as well as run several different types of banner ad campaigns. They also recently added in-platform support to create LinkedIn campaigns.

• Plug into Salesforce. We live in Salesforce, so it's a must!
• Ease of use when designing boards. We love to all feel like graphic designers.
• Dashboards showing activity levels of all types.
• Storing assets within folloze. Makes it super easy to build a board fast.
• Cloning boards. Time saver!!

• Sales Alerts - could provide more information, allow for more orgs to be identified, creating them based on keywords is beyond challenging as I cannot use keyword groups and instead must add each keyword manually.
• Geographic areas - would love to be able to provide one zip code for a segment and ask for a radius of 20,50, etc miles around it, or even just ask for the geographic area relative to a specific city (DC Metro area, as an example)
• RevCity/User Community - it's good and a nice start but the system doesn't provide reminders regularly to go check it out. Most of the posters tend to be 6sensers, and several questions can go unanswered.

Incentivized

• Integrating the contact form with our CRM has been a lengthy and on-going process
• We use iframe for some of our content pieces and I think it could look better than it does now
• We need licenses for our salespeople for them to get access to insights of a board. An easier way to send them this info without them needing licenses would be nice

We have several resources and, although 6sense is valuable, I do not believe it's being used widely enough by the sales team due to lack of training and its complexity. I wish there was a simplified guide for use and more 1-on-1 training.

Without Folloze, the marketing team would not be able to pivot as quickly as we do to support sellers with deal acceleration and drive executive engagement.

The platform is pretty straightforward as far as creating new segments and what's available to do so. The launch of digital advertising has greatly improved in recent months which has been great for our digital team. Adding or removing users and updating integration points is pretty easy as well. Reporting has also been recently updated which makes reporting on usage and ROI much easier too.

Usability is good, but it does take some patience at times. You need to refer to your CSM or the Folloze resource library when stuck, which is relatively standard. Once you get the hang of things, I feel it's easy to remember and duplicate your efforts over and over. Just be patient and learn all you can about the product.

So far the one time we ran into issues they were right there to help

sometimes its not loading pages proper, sometimes some functions are not working within or you need a long time to find out image sizes etc

Incentivized

Most of the time pages load quickly and the UX is great there are moments like every platform where it is laggy though

Incentivized

pages load slow sometimes

Their Customer Success model is delivered as advertised. We're very satisfied with the availability of support. They care as much about our success as we do. We also had an issue where we believed there was an issue in a piece of functionality. They continued to dig until they found the problem and immediately put the fix into a patch.

Folloze has a very intuitive user interface and designer. Their integrations have been seamless, and their team has been extremely helpful and responsive in getting features added or any gaps addressed. We have been leveraging the tool to its full capability, and people are happy both internally as well as externally.

It was too fast, too complex, no one could follow along. If you miss a step, you're lost for the rest of the time and there is SO MUCH to learn and keep up with.

5 as we did it with our own people in house and not with Folloze

dont implement it

I was not involved with the implementation of Folloze. This project was executed before I was hired

Bombora gives you the data raw, you then determine where you want to integrate it and pull it in. More control, but more work. Also, you need a strong understanding of what you want to do. Demandbase seemed pretty much an Ads platform that uses intent. I love the website personalization that Triblio ABM/ABX Platform offers, but it is a marketing tool. It doesn't offer the same prospecting benefits.

Folloze does so much more than the other tools we evaluated, like PathFactory and Uberflip. Those other solutions are more of a content repository with AI to help guide the visitor's experience. While this is powerful, Folloze goes a step further by making a full web page experience. It allows you to provide context and a story along with the content itself. When paired with their personalization, Folloze is the clear choice

Has been used by a few teams cross functionally and the scalability of this product is great as we continue to grow

there are still a lot of things that need to be made available within the product

• 6sense has provided me with a more targeted list of clients to go after, thus allowing me to increase my pipeline.
• 6sense has made cold calling a much warmer experience by identifying keywords our potential clients are searching for.
• 6sense has enabled me to have a more targeted approach when it comes to going after potential clients resulting in a higher win rate for me and my team.

• A sales were able to give valuable presentations which aided in earning key accounts in O&G & utility industries.
• A sales exec was able to close a million-dollar sale that she had been working on closing for a year. This board was a great visual to the customer, which helped in closing.
