Apollo.io vs. Zoom Revenue Accelerator

Best suited for contact discovery on LinkedIn or for that matter any website, but it works best on LinkedIn. It saves tons of work, you can simply select the complete list of people you want to contact and put them directly into an email sequence. It is a little difficult to find contact info on other websites.

Well used and appropriate if you are on the Zoom ecosystem for your company and you use Salesforce. It is important to mention that if you book meetings via Outreach, then the meeting will be booked by using the PMI (Personal Meeting Identifier) which is basically a static meeting link your SDRs/AEs have. This PMI is not intended to be used for outbound calls, but more for private 1:1 conversations within your org, thus Zoom Revenue Accelerator has a hard time recording those by default and it needs the user to consent it every time. This is not an issue with Zoom Revenue Accelerator, however, but important to know. If you use systems such as Chili Piper for booking your meetings, you can set up and make sure that every meeting booked with Chili Piper will always be a unique Zoom ID, which is how Zoom Revenue Accelerator is intended to be used, and then the system works properly and all those meetings are recorded by default as that's how Zoom Revenue Accelerator expects you to use the default, one-time, external unique Zoom ID meetings, instead of the more private Personal Meeting ID. All-in-all, just be mindful of the tools in your ecosystem when considering this tool and make sure you tick all the boxes for it working right and the implementation to go well, otherwise you won't get the desired results which, again, isn't a lacking on Zoom Revenue Accelerator's side but your org might just not be using Zoom Revenue Accelerator as intended.

• Allows users to easily add new prospects to database without much manual effort at all
• Allows you to make cold calls from different area codes that are relevant to where your prospect is located
• Allows A/B testing for emails so you can figure out which ones are gaining the most traction
• You can also find prospects based off of title, company, technologies, etc

• zoomIQ provides good conversation metrics around words per minute and talk speed.
• As a sales rep, it is helpful to see the breakdown of team vs client talk time.
• Seeing the deal size and projected close date is also helpful.

• Their customer service is just terrible. You get an assigned account manager but 9/10 times they wouldn't know what you wanted and/or how the product works or how to fix it. Vast majority of the time it was a canned response that made you question if they read the message, or if they read it and did not understand a word.
• The software was relatively buggy and lacked features that were promised upon signup. They seem to have some large corporate clients and if you aren't one none of your bug submissions, feature requests, or concerns will be addressed.
• Their growing quickly so they seem to be very understaffed which I believe caused many of the issues above.
• The data, while good, can quickly run out if you're looking for specific types of leads. If you're looking for something generic like Managers at companies between 10-5000 people, you can pull leads all day every day. However if you're looking for a specific industry, specific title, and specific location - don't count on having an endless supply of leads (or even really enough to use month after month).

• Zoom IQ's graphics need improvement to be more intuitive.
• Zoom IQ does not allow you to analyze several voices simultaneously. It becomes very complicated to expand the conversations to more students.
• Personalized feedback does not always respond correctly to what has been said. There is room for improvement in audio and voice analysis.

It has certainly been useful, but now it overlaps with other tools we are using so probably we will have to be harder on ROI here

I received excellent support at any time I opened up a ticket. But I would add to it that the tool was very self-explanatory, so there wasn't much need for support. With Outreach, we have a closer relationship with our CSM because of the intricacy in things like SFDC task mapping.

I have also looked into and tried Hunter.io and Lusha, and to be honest, I shouldn't compare them with Apollo. I have found Apollo to be so easy to integrate and use with all of my prospecting that I haven't really even tried out the other two. I bet I could find some useful things by using Hunter.io or Lusha as well, but there is honestly no need since I can do everything I want and more with Apollo. I would just be wasting time trying to figure out another platform when I can be focused on growing my own business with Apollo.

The features these sales enablement tools provide are pretty much the same in the aspect of usability and functionality. The advantage Zoom IQ gets over others is easy of integrating it with the default communication and collaboration tool from Zoom. Keeping things connected helps in better insights and value add.

• Generated a lot of expectations that were not real when we needed them
• The ROI was positive but we decided to stop using the tool
• We loved how easy to use it was and how easy it was to interact with the Support team
• There is room for improvement in the video tutorials - they were from old versions of the software that would not be useful for the version at hand

• There is not much negative impact of Zoom only let say your sales conversion didn't happen then the money is wasted.
• Even if the sales conversion doesn't happen you can get insights about the strategies discussed.
• Actionable feedback helped us to quickly close the sales deal.
