UK company Lead Forensics offers their eponymous platform for lead generation and web analytics.
I think it's more suited for people or the access that we have. Sales intelligence and the predictive model. It's more suited for people on the demand gen side, the actual iframe itself. Then sales intelligence is for our sales team. It makes sense for demand gen and ABM analysts have access to both, but truthfully, our source of truth and bread and butter is the predictive model.
If you want to understand if the things you're doing in the market place are improving your audience reach, then Lead Forensics is a great tool. It's all very well to network, email, win awards and so on, but you will want to address any inconsistency in how effective outreach activities are. Lead Forensics is great for this.
It makes my job a lot easier in terms of sales is an art as well as a science. It provides that science and the methodology of understanding who is the best people for me to reach out to and at what time should I prioritize certain companies for Q4 versus immediate. It kind of helps balance with my book of who's worth engaging with and getting out in front of versus those that I can probably schedule something for down the line and continue to nurture.
The only thing that I can think of, and it's not something that I particularly find annoying, but I know that executives, when they do have pushback about the tool, the thing that I hear them say is that they want that ability to see not just how 6sense is impacting from an attribution standpoint, the sale, they want to see more broad attribution capabilities within the tool. I actually think that having a marketer's level knowledge of the technology, I think it probably could be accomplished. That's a possibility that I think would make it an even easier sell internally or externally.
The menu could be improved, maybe by giving the chance of a "basic" and an "expert" menu.
The instructions are good and exhaustive but they might be improved.
The most difficult part of Lead Forensics is how some colleagues will use it and - should they not understand - they won't. There should be a way to interest even the less technological colleagues that this tool is for their best.
I rated 6Sense a 10 because it has become an indispensable tool for our sales and marketing teams. The platform’s ability to identify high-intent accounts and provide actionable insights has significantly improved our targeting and engagement strategies, resulting in better conversion rates and a more streamlined workflow. Its predictive capabilities give us a competitive edge by allowing us to reach prospects at the right time with personalized messaging. Additionally, 6Sense’s seamless integration with our existing tech stack and CRM makes it easy for our teams to collaborate and align on shared goals. The value it brings to our business development efforts ensures it remains a crucial part of our growth strategy.
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.
Lead Forensics is really easy to use. [...], our account manager, also has a hands on approach to ensure we are getting the best out of it. We have regular meetings at no extra costs where he will give us tips and help if we need it. The default interface however is very simple and is customisable which means it can be made even more simple!
We hardly needed any support but in the initial days we got some had to contact support for the product understanding, the suppor t was prompt and they were very quick to resolve any issues. The support team is very helpful and gives a lot of importance to unresolved issues.
[Their] support is great, [whether] you call or send in an email. They are always friendly and willing to help. Anytime I can’t figure something out and need to reach out, I always get a response back quick[ly] - and they will always offer to go in and make the change, but I like when they show me so I can do it next time.
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.
6sense sales team spent a lot more time with me building out a use case and example to take back to my team. I appreciated the support and felt confident in getting the help I needed to implement the tech.
Lead Forensics is the best as far as I can tell, but choices that are a fraction of the cost come pretty close. Some places like ThomasNet even throw this functionality in for free now. I guess it's a question of if you view this type of intelligence as a luxury or essential.
I would say prioritizing accounts that 6sense is telling us to do has increased our win rates, has increased our meeting rates, our SDRs, prioritizing six QA from 6sense has greatly increased the amount of meetings they've been able to book. Then from there, open opportunities. Almost all of our closed won opportunities had extensive outreach via marketing. That was because of our knowledge of them through 6sense.
