RainKing (discontinued) vs. ZoomInfo Operations

RainKing is less appropriate when you don't have the funds or resources to pay for it. You could easily Google the information that you're looking for, or use CrunchBase, but it's extremely time-consuming. RainKing makes this very easy and the data seamlessly sends to Salesforce with the proper integration. RainKing is very appropriate when you have a large team of folks that need to source leads/accounts simultaneously and need licenses to do so - it's worth the money with a larger team.

The application is one that I would highly recommend for your sales team as they are able to seek out information that they would not normally be able to obtain through something like Salesforce or other applications. ZoomInfo for sure is the leader in my opinion in this area and I love the releases and additional features that they are always releasing.

• Being able to search for companies that are currently evaluating solutions in your space.
• The contact information for people and related people is also great, I have used dozens of other data solutions and prefer Rainking.
• Rainking also gives you the ability to create lists of your ideal buyer and download them which was great for my team and I pull new contacts to prospect!
• I can't get over how impressive the org chart info is in RainKing, it allowed myself and my team to find other involved prospects and get a good feel for organizations.

• EverString allows us to build account lists based off in-depth firmographic or technographic data. It's far more accurate than trying to build these lists any other way.
• EverString is fast. Where it might've previously taken us weeks to build lists of this quality, we now can build them in a matter of minutes (and have them ready to be published in a couple of hours).

Incentivized

• Account manager - really unresponsive, not interested in helping with renewal, making the case to our execs
• The Discover/RainKing team was not interested in helping us expand the way we are utilizing the tool, provide additional training, etc
• Contacts department designation lacks in accuracy, we frequently found significant mismatches

• Contacts underneath Companies can be outdated by 4+ years (left employer years prior).
• Customer support is not as engaged as a smaller software company might be. Delays in solving issues.
• Limits in sharing lists, queries, and tags between users under the same account.

Would love to keep everstring as part of our tech stack in the future. if we ever have to move from everstring it will be due to budget not the solution itself.

The rating is simply because the tutorials can be made a lot more interactive. The tutorials are of such a level that it gets boring to a point. Also, another suggestion would be to incorporate pop-up help menus which would I believe help out immensely as well in case of improvement of usage for beginners.

Have a plan on how you're going to evaluate. We had a two-month trial period, but a six-month average lead cycle time, making it impossible to evaluate on a purely new-business ROI basis within the trial. We applied the model to our prior data, which demonstrated how much time and effort was devoted to accounts that weren't going to close

I've used SalesNavigator and Zoom Info. I actually think that Ranking is a great solution if you can use it in tandem with SalesNavigator. When it comes to pulling lists, in my opinion, Ranking does it best. Now that it has the database combined with Discoverorg, it's even more powerful to use.

This has a similar issue to RingLead Capture, as it only returns the data that users themselves update, which is often outdated or incorrect. However, RingLead Route does allow lead assignment and tracking in more ways than LinkedIn Sales Navigator does, which is helpful in visibility of what a full sales team is doing.

• I don't have that information readily available to quantify the positive impact. However, I will say that I've found a lot of good prospects via RainKing to target my outreach efforts to. I definitely feel like the product pays for itself.

• I have just signed a $9M account with the help of this product.
• I've had to double-check information due to accuracy.
• More analysis is to be conducted about the team's ROI, as it is early in the process for my company.
