PersistIQ vs. SellHack

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

SellHack is great for anyone who is in sales or whose work requires the need to build lists or to search for missing email addresses. Many businesses and social media sites provide email addresses, but of course depending upon industry many do not, so SellHack is my go to tool when I absolutely have to find an email.

• 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

• Often I'll be searching for an email address, so I'll go to LinkedIn, ZoomInfo, Sales Navigator. These are all services the my firm pays for me. But inevitably I will need another sure fire source and SellHack is my go to tool, it will find email addresses often when I can't find them anywhere else.
• I use Hunter also, but many times I found addresses on SellHack that I couldn't find on Hunter.
• I love that you can subscribe and purchase various levels of searches per month, or if you want you can buy x amount of searches that don't expire.
• SellHack has a nice Chrome extension that stays on top so when I'm searching I can click on it from the pull down and enter the data and copy/paste the results into my 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

• I wish they had a roll over feature for unused credits on the subscription.
• SellHack is great for list building, and export to popular CRMs like Salesforce.
• If you have an email address and you're not sure if it's accurate, SellHack will verify the address and give you a percentage rating on their confidence that the address works (a percentage rating is given for all email searches).
• I love their referral program: Give 50, Get 50: Refer a friend and you both get 50 free credits! I've used this many times.

Terrible; non-existent. Weeks without replies, and no improvements in 4 months.

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.

Hunter and ZoomInfo are two services that I also use to find email addresses. Generally if I can't find it on one of those SellHack will find it for me, never the other way around. I use them all, but SellHack is my secret weapon.

Incentivized

• 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

• It's been vital. I've made too many contacts to mention because I was able to source the correct email address for C-suite executives (which are my target prospects).
• The cost of the service has been affordable. I work inside sales and so I have to be selective on which tools I pay for because the ROI must fit within my budget. I've used SellHack since day one in this role and I use it every month.
