Alyce vs. Chili Piper

I had been trying to get ahold of a prospect for a few months. Then I decided to send him an Alyce gift to see if I could get any traction. He ended up accepting the gift and speaking with me. He then ended up speaking with my Account Executive and then bought our product.

Chili Piper is GREAT for sales development teams booking for sales people. This is especially true when there is a "round robin" system that needs to be abided by. I've experienced a lot of bad round robin systems and Chili Piper's is fantastic. This is also a great tool to schedule with people across multiple time zones, which I don't want to have to focus on while speaking. It enables sales reps to focus on the prospect, not the time change. Chili piper would not be a good fit for underperforming sales teams that don't book any meetings (:

• Chili Piper integrates with Salesforce very well which I haven't seen other calendar apps do yet.

• I can send the link to each of my meeting templates for different prospects

• They are continually improving their offering and we've seen great leaps over the past 2 years.
• Would be nice to be able to modify the email reminders for every single contact and event versus have set templates
• Faster load times, but we can’t complain too much!

• Support was very responsive during our integration phase, and after that too.
• They have the whole infrastructure built to notify customers about bug/outages, which is excellent. Entire System outage only happened once, but being updated on fix progress helped a lot to keep our team calm.

The main difference between Alyce and Sendoso's use at RingCentral is Alyce is more reliable and gets better meetings set. Sendoso is more of a confirmation for the meeting the very next day. More employees at RingCentral have access to Alyce and not Sendoso. Alyce is the better application and everyone loves it.

Calendly was being used at the company by some other departments and still is to some extent. However adding Chili Piper fore the marketing and sales departments was a no brainer once we saw the demo. It's Calendly on steroids and the company is just getting started using it. I'm sure we will see even more benefits as the years go on.

Incentivized

• More demos held by simplifying the scheduling process. More demos = more opportunities
• Initial set up was frustrating and created a lot of mix up which allowed some leads to slip through the cracks early
• Integration with Salesforce.com saved our reps time because they didn't have to log activities manually
