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.

Slack is definitely well suited according to my experience of using it for over 6 years to be the best platform to have short quick huddles and catch up sessions with your team, More especially if your work environment is a WFH set up. you can easily direct message a colleague regarding something that needs quick attention. making calls is easy and you can basically present a presentation to your team quickly and easy by sharing your screen with them easily. its basically the future

Pros
6sense
  • 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.

Cons
6sense
  • 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.

  • Wish I could organize my "save for later" items into folders. It would be nice to store all of the golden nuggets of information I learn. Even better if we could export it out into a word doc to turn into a real article or resource!
  • Use AI to help us find themes around topics and prepare a summary every week/end of day/month so that the entire team can absorb all conversations into one clean space

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.

To be more transparent, I give 10 because Slack serves our collaboration needs. It provide us a good platform for team communication relaying important update within the company, it has even mobile app where you can install in your phone to monitor any updates within that team that needs your immediate attention and intervention.

Usability
6sense
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.

At the basic surface, Slack does deliver everything we need - easy to handle, easy to understand. But, as I said earlier, there are the more complex parts which demand more of us and some of them even lack information about how to be used, which is frustrating. If we could have maybe a section with instructions, or maybe if you make the features easier to use, it would be awesome.

Yes, the app works 24/7. I don't even recall having any period that we could not use since the implementation. Even the maintenance periods are barely noticeable and our work is not impacted by it when it happens.

Slack is a soft app, we don't have many issues with it. I recall one or two people complaining about something during our usage period, but I didn't have a bad experience. When the app is slow, usually the problem is with my computer or my internet. The app works just fine.

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.

I've never had to contact support for Slack which is a great testament to its ease and use. Adding people outside of the organization takes a little getting used to, but ultimately allows for greater collaboration between FTE and contractors. There is no clear alternative to this software, so it's the best we can do for now.

Slack: It's easy to strike up a chat right away with one-click calls or huddles. By simply pressing the call button, both users are involved without the need to arrange a meeting. Microsoft Teams: With calendar invites, time slot choices, and numerous confirmation processes, scheduling even a basic one-on-one meeting can feel laborious.

Return on Investment
6sense
  • 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.

  • Slack has significantly improved communication within the organization by providing a platform for quick and instant messaging.
  • Teams can easily collaborate on different projects with Slack’s channels.
  • We have to use Google Drive to send large videos. Would have been good if it could be spent through Slack.
