Apollo.io played big role for us in saving $$$ by bringing data mining, AI Email Writing and acting as CRM altogether...for small to medium organization they can surely rely on Apollo.io...and it is doing things mostly right with some room for improvement for sure. Sales and Marketing team saves time in getting their emails drafted based on prompts, list of contacts they can fetch in minutes of time, earlier we used to have seperate tool just to mine data, then we used to upload the CSV file to email marketing tool, then we used to draft email...for all these process we were using three different tools - Apollo.io brought everything under one umbrella.
Zoom Revenue Accelerator excels at the everyday conversations, clients wanting to understand the market, how to use the product, or just to have a chat with their broker. ZRA eats these up, provides accurate sentiment analysis, and decent enough summaries that we can start to gleam insight from the myriad conversations our client facing team are exposed to each day. Where it doesn't fully align with our business model is how it integrates with our CRM. ZRA is built for the B2B industry, and wants to attach conversations to contacts associated with deals in pipelines etc. It as a product has a poor grasp on the day to day interactions B2C businesses have with their clients, and Zoom have a lot of opportunity ahead at solving those problems.
Firstly, finding the details of the potential customers that is there name, designation email and phone number since these are the most important cases most of the times I can get this data in Apollo.io
I can pull the bulk data of the targeted organization, or I can pull the emails based on the location and job titles
Apart from the email capture, the thing which helpful is that the email sequence can find emails and send emails in Apollo.io itself and also the report and the dashboard are so clean
Friendly UI and UX Apollo.io was the first tool which I used. Since then I'm still using Apollo.io for easy understanding
There are certain features about prospecting that require updates. For example, if people switch organisations, it should be automatically requesting the new email or new contact data for a particular contact in order to be updated in the system
The lead databases that are created if their new addition should automatically be updated in the list that I created with Apollo.io
Apollo.io does provide campaign setup help and made my SDRs team's life easier, with the use of lead enrichment, lead distribution, I can manage my team from a single dashboard. It also comes with CRM that helps me navigate the progress on leads and what my SDRs progress.
easy to access, easy to get to calls I want on days/times I want. Easy to make playlist and library as needed. But some of the tabs (Coaching and Dashboard) have unusable data to me. The data for some of those tabs arent capturing for some reason.
The team wants to solve probelms, but we are finding that they don't know how to solve the more technical issues quickly. I suspect that they don't have a mature process for escalations, and they don't have a usable knowledge base article repository. They seems to push emails around to let us know that people are working on the issues to find solutions, but this takes weeks and oftentimes still leaves us without a resolution.
All of these platforms are good and offer valuable tools, but where Apollo.io is different is how this one platform does the job of several different ones. It is nice not having to use multiple platforms to get things done and makes integration and analytics issues occur less often. It is user friendly and constantly working to improve.
Chorus.ai is very similar to Zoom IQ. I think the sales team should invest in either product. I was not involved in the purchasing process so I am not sure why one company was chosen over the other for us to work with.
Allows me to be Building repeatable scalable processes! Being authentic and creating more humility amongst the locker room.
Provides stark contrast to those reps in the middle of the pack vs high activity top performers. I don’t always “see” the winning behaviors of the top reps, the win through effort, but many have a lot to learn about themselves and have even more opportunity to win more!
Provides self awareness and coaching opportunities for the individual producers on their own
