PersistIQ vs. ZoomInfo Sales

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

ZoomInfo is well-suited for sales and marketing teams. The sales team can use it for research and prospecting, while marketing can use it for nurturing new prospects or previously prospected ones.Overall, ZoomInfo is a tool tailor-crafted for business and sales development teams. It helps them approach new prospects every day, even when contact numbers are not readily available.

• 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.

• Zoominfo provides us scoops regarding any new upcoming project or pain points (difficulties) facing by certain companies which helps a lot in our business to contact such companies.
• Zoominfo gives us the exaction info such as email address, Direct or Cell phone number of particular contact which we want and we don't get anywhere except zoominfo
• Zoominfo has huge database. Intent is one of the favorite section where we get the exact info about the companies/industries which we want
• Zoominfo Connects with Hubspot which is another benefit for us to add any specific contact directly to our HubSpot app.

• 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

• For initial users, the system can be a little overwhelming. A ZoomInfor SalesOS Basics guide could be beneficial to keep new users from feeling lost amongst all the options.
• Clearer instructions on how to set targeted search parameters for inbound information would be beneficial.

With the combined resources of crowdsorced info on both data.com as well as the immediacy of info on LinkedIn, as well as intel on Hoovers, information provided on ZoomInfo is more readily available if you have the time to invest in looking for it. However, at the pace we do business, having a "one stop shop" for information is very convenient. On efficiency alone, ZoomInfo is worth the price of subscription considering our business model.

ZoomInfo is my go to service. This connected with Linkedin Recruiter has been an amazing tool to use in gaining some very useful and strong connections

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

I would give it a higher rating but they keep changing our account managers.

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.

Incentivized

The size of data base, the bounce rate and accuracy. The extra features that you can have and the customer service. Whenever I have a question or help with something, my account manager is always available to help. And most importantly, the difference was the price. Although Zoominfo is not cheapest, it is the best value for your money.

• 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.

• Negative - In my experience, exports error but credits deduct. Trying to get these credits back, good luck getting a customer service rep to assist.
• Negative - In my experience, information provided for 0-5 employee companies inaccurate
• Negative - In my opinion, due to not being able to get the information and not honoring their guarantee, no revenue goals were met.
• Negative - I feel, for this size prospect, there is no time savings. You will still need to manually research the company on other sites or by cold calling to get the missing information.
