Likelihood to Recommend We have found Chorus by ZoomInfo to be an appropriate tool in a number of scenarios. The scenarios we most often use Chorus by ZoomInfo are when we are providing a prospect with a demo of our solutions or discussing ongoing projects that we are working on with our clients. Other scenarios include calls where we are talking with other companies about possibly establishing mutual partnerships.

Salesforce operates very well across pretty much every industry, but not all sales, marketing, and operational processes are created equal. If your marketing process requires a long list of sendable contacts then I would recommend adding on
Pardot or Hubspot. Always start small and scale up, to avoid boxing yourself in down the road.
Read full review Pros Great job on putting the conversion metrics. It's a big help knowing our metrics in every meeting. We learned what areas need to be improved and also the strength we had during that conversation. It also provides the length of speech of each participants. Read full review Tracking phone calls is extremely easy when using the app on the iphone. After a phone call is complete it prompts the user to enter in call details. SalesforceIQ also automatically logs emails for us. This has saved us time from entering in information manually. SalesforceIQ was easy to set up and allowed us customization for fields that were relevant to our business. Read full review Cons The analytics around risks associated with certain words/phrases never seems to be accurate or relevant. Meaning I say things that are definitely not problematic, but they get marked that way. Needs to be easier to locate certain parts of a call, maybe by a more powerful word search. This isn't a problem for 30-60 minute calls but is more challenging for longer training sessions that last 3 hours. Read full review Price point for smaller startups. Not budget friendly. Read full review Likelihood to Renew It's hard for me to give anything more than a 5 at this point. The primary reason is that we have only used it for a few months and I'm still getting a feel for the level of value it provides both to me and the team. In 4 or 5 months I'll have a better understanding of its value long term
Read full review Usability This was sold internally as something that would help us be more efficient. I had high hopes that the speech-to-text feature would be useful for getting call notes/next steps, etc documented. But due to the limitations of the software, these things would take longer using Chorus than if I just write things down manually - disappointing.
Read full review Support Rating I personally have not had too many major issues with Chorus, but the times that I have reached out to their customer support team I have always received great responses in a very timely manner. Their support team is trained in a very polite way and cares about resolving your issue. They are knowledgeable and helpful and the customer service line does not take long to connect to a real individual.

Google Analytics with Primerica. I payed for it myself to see how my team I was managing was holding up to other teams in the region. Chorus works so much better and if it would have been in my capability to use chorus I would have
Read full review Salesforce Starter is exactly what it says. It's specific to getting a small business up and running effectively, without unnecessary development or internal overhead required. It doesn't allow for a ton of customization, but it provides more than most other providers across sales, service, and integration/automating business processes. Some tools are more specific to organizations that want to focus on a specific area to grow or manage their business. That's where the other package types and integrations with specific tools come in
Read full review Return on Investment Reducing cost on training for sales persons. As a salesperson Chorus.ai help me to better my sales performance and accuracy on proposals I send based on everything the customer has mentioned during the calls. It's hard to quantify, but it definitely adds on the closing rate percentage. Read full review We have noticed since we have started using SalesforceIQ to communicate items on customer account notes we have freed up hours of phone time between employees allowing us to better answer customer phone calls. This is especially true in our parts department where we have inside and outside sales. We tied in use of Salesforce to our bonus structure to encourage employees to use the software. It is the direction our business is going and we needed everyone to participate to make it work. The newer the employee the better they are about logging information and visits.
