    For me, I'm in a college town so when we have a tournament we get flooded with RFPs from schools for the same dates. Lead Scoring allows me to see which of the leads is better suited for our needs over those dates. For example, a school that only wants to stay for one night because they are only an hour away is less desirable than a school that has to fly in and needs to stay for 4 nights!

    • Groove is excellent for the use case of improving sales representative and customer success representative productivity and data quality when used alongside Salesforce. It is a Salesforce focused tool. You should definitely consider Groove if you are a current Salesloft / Outreach user and you also use Salesforce.
    • Groove would not be a good fit for an organization not using Salesforce.

    Cons
    Cvent
    • \New channels, mediums and metrics influencing the customer journey are introduced every day.
    • Committing to a lead scoring model that doesn't dynamically adjust as your customers do, will produce inaccuracies.
    • Without manually adjusting on a regular basis, miscalculations won't be addressed in a timely manner.

    I actually don't have any complaint regarding groove. It's just that I will give 9 since I confidently believe that there'd be updates in the future which would be more optimal not just for us users but for the business as well. The only regret I have with groove is I was not able to use it before the current company that I'm employed

    Groove has been an awesome platform to use for sales pipeline management. I really enjoy how it integrates with my Salesforce, Gmail, and Google Calendar. It makes my job easier by helping me keep track of the progress of each sales contact that I have. Leads are able to reply and notify us using Groove.

    There are no other products like Cvent Lead Scoring that I have used or evaluated. The reason for this is because I've never had to stray from Lead Scoring, because it has been so beneficial.

    Groove is simple. Like their competitors, they give you the ability to create templated "Flows" (sequences) of calls, emails, and LinkedIn touches. Some of them can be automated, but it's also simple to personalize outreach. Ultimately, my decision to purchase Groove over some of the competitors was based on their Salesforce integration, as well as white-glove customer service.
