    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

    Any person who is interested in understanding the level of engagement from a client needs Showpad. It is a must-have software if you have people within your organization that are customer-facing. If your role is primarily communicating with employees within your own organization, then this software might not be as useful to you. For those in sales, account management, or who needs to know if your recipient has seen your emails/content, this is a useful tool.

    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'

    Cons
    Consensus Sales, Inc
    • 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.

    • Version control is an issue. Would be nice to go back to previous versions of a file.
    • The in-app viewing experience feels a little rigid. Prefer to download the files before viewing.
    • The main landing page is a little more cluttered than I would like.

    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

    Usability
    Consensus Sales, Inc
    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.

    I have not been involved with support from Showpad so I am not entirely sure. However, we have received some emails from our help desk about an outage and it seems like it didn't last very long so I would say that it was pretty effective support to that extent.

    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

    The only option our company used was cloud-based file-sharing services (Box, Dropbox, etc) and emails like Outlook or Gmail. Both options make it hard for version control and for ease of navigation. Generally, end-users had an easier time finding content on Showpad.
