Responsive (formerly RFPIO), headquartered in Beaverton, offers their proposal management and automation software, featuring import and export, proposal knowledgebase and answer library, evaluation intake forms, and project management tools (e.g. Gantt chart) associated to proposal tracking.
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
Good use cases: - Responding to RFP's especially generic questions that are asked frequently (company size, product info, security posture) - Delegating approvals or questions to appropriate teams where the AI solution is not well positioned to provide a thorough or complete answer - Reviewing previous RFP documents that have been submitted by previous account teams Bad Use Cases: - Struggles compared to other AI tools with contextual deep questions about product functionality - Doesn't seamlessly integrate with tools where our clients submit RFP and require sign ons.

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'

Reporting and Analytics is basic, you can purchase advanced analytics though
It would have been nice to have a set structure in mind or a example/case study to structure our responses in the most appropriate way, but we are working through that with their stellar support team

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

We'd be sunk without Responsive. The sales motion would slow way down in several places, and that's just unacceptable. AND I love the product. It helps me do my job efficiently. The Responsive team is GREAT. Support is getting better. The Product and Customer Experience Team is so knowledgeable and willing to help with new features and troubleshoot what's going on. It's an all-around great experience. Not to mention starting over - I can't even get my head around that.

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.

If I cannot solve a problem, then I reach out to Support and they are ON IT. They always solve the problem and get back to me immediately with an answer. Our customer support person who is assigned to us (we have had several) are responsive and helpful. We have asked them to sit in on meetings and help socialize the tool.

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

While others have had a good experience with Qvidian, we unfortunately did not. Our questions were never answered by our Qvidian rep, as we used it the platform had no AI capabilities, and we had very low usage. It didn't serve our needs. Responsive has been incredible in their communication, responses, partnership, and willingness to get our feedback in order to improve the platform
