    Consensus is simple and does what it does very well. It doesn't try to be a deal room software, so they partner for that space. It did not try to be an AI transcription solution at first, so they partnered for that space. They continue to listen to their customers, improve the …

    Consensus is way better than Showpad because everything is embedded into one neat video rather than a bunch of links that need to have the files stored on my device. For example, everything that I used with showpad had to be saved on my device specifically for it to be used in …

    We did not find a similar solution that could provide the prospect experience Consensus provides. We did not seriously evaluate any other platform like we did with Consensus.

    We evaluated Consensus vs Highspot 2 years ago, and although we still have Highspot, we use Consensus around 90% time vs 10% Highspot. Highspot is suitable for sending analyst's reports and product and industry whitepapers; Consensus is far superior with pre-recorded demos and …

    None. Consensus has been my first exposure to long-form demo/content delivered besides using zoom to record a demo and then sharing a link with my prospect. Consensus has changed the game in regards to how I engage with prospects from a product perspective.

    Videos had been recorded using platforms previously but the distribution of these videos was often uncontrolled and untraceable.

    Consensus provides a platform where we can control, distribute and track shared content. It also allows us to build up stakeholder maps based on …

    I have previously used the Smart Links feature in Sales NAVIGATOR for LinkedIn.

    This was quite similar to Consensus but it feels more like a 'junior' version.

    Within the last 6 months, I've run a personal A/B test on opportunities with and without Consensus videos being sent after every meeting. Those opportunities where I sent Consensus videos after every meeting had a >50% likelihood of closing and/or progressed past the Proposal phase. Those opportunities where I did not send Consensus video, I was left unanswered more often than not

    Pros
    Consensus Sales, Inc
    • The ability to tailor demos and demoboards to show various functionality of the product.
    • We appreciate the features Consensus has to customize demos in various forms.
    • The customer service and post-sales trainings the Consensus team has held for our company have been extremely beneficial. I personally appreciated learning how demos are better received when they're not 'perfect'

    • The analytical dashboard can be little confusing because I can see details for my whole company
    • Better way to record personalized videos in the beginning. They don't have any background filtering ability.

    Consensus has been a valuable and vital sales tool at every stage of our sales cycle. In the very early stages of prospect education, you can send videos to get them familiar and up to speed with our product without a solution consultant's involvement. It is also a very powerful tool at the later stages of the sales cycle, with the ability to tailor demos and intro videos and record exec alignment itro videos, which we have had great success with

    It only took me a matter of minutes to onboard myself to Consensus and start utilizing it with my clients. The platform is very simple to set up and straight forward to use. Most platforms take time to learn how to use and navigate but Consensus was very easy to pick up and use as a first time user.

    Consensus is simple and does what it does very well. It doesn't try to be a deal room software, so they partner for that space. It did not try to be an AI transcription solution at first, so they partnered for that space. They continue to listen to their customers, improve the solution where it matters, in ways that drive the core use case of buyer enablement. I appreciate that they haven't over-indexed on fringe use cases and keep improving what their solution does very well. We continue to get very strong feedback from prospects
