KickFire vs. LeadGenius

For small businesses that don't have big budgets for marketing automation, VisiStat is an ideal first step. For companies that have sophisticated systems in place, VisiStat will augment your analytics and provide a deeper dive into your website activity. Since the implementation involves adding javascript to your site, the user should be familiar with how to do this

LeadGenius is great for any company that has very specific, niche leads they need to generate (like we do). If you have a broader audience, I would recommend using a simpler, cheaper platform that simply scrapes LInkedIn for some keywords you've entered. For us, we need specific titles from specific types of companies (i.e. software companies that could use an email API).

• De-anonymizes website activity at the account (company) level.
• Identifies net new target accounts.
• Displays click path, time on page, time per session, and engagement level of each de-anonymized website visit.
• Gives great daily insight on watchlists you've set up.
• Delivers every possible de-anonymized visit with little filtering for accuracy.
• More on the watchlists. I really love that you can receive immediate alerts on website visits from accounts you've listed on your watchlists. This way, you never miss the window of opportunity to reach out to your key targets while they are currently on your site.
• Salesforce integration is good. KickFire pushes most recent website visits, pages visited, website click path, activity percent change, and more to the given account in Salesforce. You can then create reports and run them regularly to see which accounts are surging in website activity. This is also great for account prospecting, and for planning your sales outreach plan of attack. You can see which bits of your website content are most interesting to the company, and which products they are most interested in.

• LeadGenius has gone out of their way to help us find leads for fairly obscure markets. LeadGenius combines AI with personal vetting to find hundreds and thousands of leads for us that other automated lead gen platforms that simply scrape LinkedIn or the web cannot find.
• If you need any custom work done for you outside of the platform, LeadGenius is willing to help with that where other platforms are not (with other lead gen platforms, either you use the system as-is despite it's shortcomings, or not at all).

Incentivized

• Some outdated information and your credits will be used
• Credit package sizes are not very customizable
• A tad pricy comapred to simillar prospecting tools I've seen

Incentivized

• The platform loads a little slowly and has little quirks. If you create a ton of segments, it can be hard to organize them. If you archive old ones you can't view them anymore (but Leadgenius has access on the backend and can send your data to you).

We've been happy customers of VisiStat for many years. I've used the service at multiple companies and you can't beat it.

It was designed for people who are business users, not tech users.

We've never had any outages in the 7+ years using the system.

The system is very responsive, and when there are times in which data is loading, the VisiStat system provides humorous loading messages.

They are very good at solving cases that I bring to them. I'd like to see more proactive support to make sure we are getting the full value out of the solution.

The tutorials are very good and they explain how to get started using the system. The online webinars are very good for advancing your knowledge of the product.

Don't hesitate to contact VisiStat support. They are extremely helpful.

I covered this pretty extensively in the cons. The key differentiator here is that KickFire serves up almost all the data (or so it seems) to the end client. The client then has to do their own work on interpreting it. This is good because it means we don't miss out on any website activities, but it's bad because we get a lot of false positives. 6sense uses the confidence score approach I mentioned in the Cons section, which means the match rates of the data we get are much higher. Our experience with Clearbit comes from other tools that are built on it (Bombora, Drift, etc.), and it has not been great. We've seen many more inaccuracies with Clearbit.

Growlabs used too many generic search parameters and had too many system bugs - but they're early and I'm confident their product will get stronger.

We've gone from a few thousand unique visitors per month to nearly 200,000 unique visitors. VisiStat doesn't miss a beat.

• Faster lead conversion
• Less time on LinkedIn trying to figure out DM (decision maker)
• Increased employee efficiency

• LeadGenius has been one of the main sources of leads for us over the past 6 months. There's a longer lead nurture cycle (since they're cold, outbound leads as opposed to inbound), but they do convert to customers for us.
