PersistIQ vs. Seamless.ai

PersistIQ is well suited for outbound marketing. It's great for setting up sales and marketing campaigns to new and prospective clients. The fact that PersistIQ emails are basic (they look like normal personal emails) and easy to personalize, makes the whole process feel more genuine than, say, MailChimp. PersistIQ won't replace a bulk emailing tool or CRM. It serves a different purpose than, for example, Marketo or MailChimp, two products we also use

Well Suited:

1. Studying TAM: And landing at your ICP to target from a business development standpoint
2. Lead Enrichment: Seamless can do it faster than most of the other tools
3. Tracking Job Changes: They've added this new functionality recently, given the fact how important it is

Not Well Suited:

1. Buyer Intent Data: Platforms like G2 and ZoomInfo are pretty good at providing buyer intent signals which is not there in seamless
2. Extensive Search Capabilities: Search is not as powerful as LinkedIn Sales Nav or ZoomInfo

• Integrates well with tools that work with LinkedIn Sales Navigator to scrap lead emails.
• Makes it easy to manage large-scale cold email campaigns with 3+ steps.
• When a prospect replies to an email, it doesn't send them any of the automated emails which allow me to follow-up with those warm leads correctly.

Incentivized

• Refresh Rate of Seamless.ai is quite good. A quick way to know this is see if a lead has changed jobs recently on LinkedIn, how quickly does it get refreshed in Seamless
• Search Capabilities are decent. Not as strong as some of its competitors, but would do the job for sure.
• Exporting lead lists is a great feature and a boon for saving a lot of time. Direct CSVs can be exported and fed into the CRM.

Incentivized

• I wish there was a way to send more than 1,000 emails per day.
• If it had more integrations with data scrapers or ways to add new leads it would be much better.
• I'd like a way to go deeper into a lot of my stats on various emails.

Incentivized

• Better response to clients complaints
• Don't be so big that you ignore your scam salespeople
• Don't hire boiler-room sales people

We decided on PersistIQ because it was cheaper than the incumbents and as we were starting we wanted to see if this would be helpful or relevant to us. We later discovered Apollo.io and we might switch to them as they are also cheap and look better, but we might also get back to manual emailing and Linkedin connecting.

Great product and great people but I am still scared and scared of giving my credit card because of my experience with Seamless scammers.

• Using PersistIQ has allowed us to engage more people more quickly than other outbound processes. So, more leads.
• We're able to understand message performance more rapidly and readily having used PersistIQ.
• PersistIQ has improved our bottom line by getting us more leads. So, increased ROI.

Incentivized

• Scaling Outbound: Seamless has obviously helped us in the past when it comes to scaling our outbound function. List of contacts and leads can be uploaded in bulk and this is extremely useful in outbounding.
• User Friendly: Onboarding the team on Seamless was quite easy. Did not, like its competitors, make the browser hand. Has most integrations with major CRMs available.
• Light on the Pocket: Usually the case with growing teams, as it is not as expensive as its direct competitors. Though the quality of lead data information might be compromised by a certain percentage.
