Consensus Sales, Inc
There have been a few situations in the past where we have only engaged 1 person from an organisation. However with the share feature Consensus offer to viewers it has allowed us to discover who else would be involved with the project. Pre demo stage we have been able to share long form video content with the prospects and easily identify what sections of the video are being watched multiple times. Based on this info we have been able to tailor our demos as it shows whats important to them.

Seismic excels at being a one-stop shop for all content that is relevant to salespeople and the deal cycles they work through. It does a great job not only making content and training readily available but also at distributing the right content at the right time/for the right scenario. Based on my experience with the tool, this was a go-to for many reps (myself included) because it saved us so much time. Rather than sifting through documents and collateral, we could easily find what we needed in a matter of moments.

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'

  • Adding more integration points and use cases with Salesforce would be good to have
  • Navigating to a specific resource gets cumbersome sometimes especially with lots of content
  • Bulk user operations and taking actions on behalf of other users would be good to have as well

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 video engagement. The platform provided means we no longer have to choose what communication send out with the video; as the platform manages that aspect.

Savo, Google Drive, Shared folders Savo - was best in class a long time ago (and has since been bought by Seismic) - but required a lot of administrative work to setup and maintain. I had three people working on it full time to create pages and managing content. Shared folders and google drive are good to share content, but terrible at searching and tagging (not fully indexed and no tagging)

  • We can quickly generate product-specific proposals.
  • We've experienced repeated frustrations while trying to edit/update the LiveDoc.
  • Errors in LiveDoc coding have occasionally produced errors in the generated proposals where certain fields (Customer Name, for example) should have been automatically completed but were not.
