SalesboxAI vs. Velocify by ICE Mortgage Technology

If you are experienced in ABM program execution or just about getting started, SalesboxAI helps you scale your outreach into your target accounts. This is a great tool for early stage, growth stage and established organizations with a clear B2B buyer focus, especially dealing with multiple buyers in an account. If you are struggling to fill the sales pipeline, get them. If you are struggling with loads of cold leads, get them. If you are struggling with brand awareness despite good product, get them. If you are looking to launch a new product and need quick branding into b2b buyer groups, get them

Small businesses who do not need complex reporting and analytics would fit well into the Velocify model. There needs to be specific segments that appeal to this type of CRM, and the best feature is within an added layer--dialer. The ability to turn things around and contact your leads immediately was very beneficial to us, and could prove to be a boon for a small to midsize business.

• Which accounts are in the market for your solution
• Find key contacts at your target accounts
• Follow up with every lead through AI Assistants
• Retarget your leads through LinkedIn and Facebook
• Get conversations and meetings with key contacts at your target accounts

• The prioritized queue allows for management to set contact standards and hold users accountable. It removes all the guess work out of what lead to call next.
• The Dial IQ feature is fantastic for powering through calls and maximizing speed to contact.
• The Shotgun lead distribution puts the lead into the hand of the user that is ready and available to call that lead immediately. No handing off a lead to an originator and hoping they call. This feature allows for the system to notify multiple users simultaneously and first user to press 1 wins the lead. Talk about creating a competitive sales environment!

• They could simplify the platform more
• LinkedIn integration could be better
• Implementing their chat widget is a manual process though it is more customizable than other alternatives

• Velocify would be well served to create a more robust email drip campaign platform.
• Velocify could revamp their dashboards and prioritized views our individuals work out of daily. It's rather overwhelming when working with a lot of leads. Adding interactive graphics - calendars, easy to view alerts, etc would be great. (Big Purple Dot does this well)

I am sure that we as a company are likely to continue using Velocify. I am not involved in the selection process, but I have not heard any negative feedback and switching programs would more than likely be too much work

Users can gain a very good understanding of the system quickly. The administrator can use terms that are familiar to their company when setting the system up. Most new administrators error to the side of complexity when setting up the system. With Velocify less is more.

The system is always up!!

If the system is set up correctly it will be a game changer for your organization.

While I didn't speak with the Support team often, they seemed very accepting and reliable. My favorite was the company emails that we would receive whenever something wasn't working correctly so that we would know that it's being worked on, providing a bit of relief to the other employees that were having trouble.

The in-person training if you will is done via GoToMeeting or some other service. I have been told that the moderator goes way too in-depth and too fast.

Velocify offers online training via videos and written descriptions of implementation procedures.

If you plan to have more than 20 users on Velocify you should outsource implementation to someone that knows how the system can best be implemented for your business/process flows. If you have fewer proposed users try to use one of the canned levels.

I like the fact that SalesboxAI is a unified product which combines Account intent and AI follow-ups to prioritize accounts for sales team. Great toolkit for your ABM program

Before we went with Velocify, we had Salesforce and Hobson's EMT Connect. Both of these systems were rather expensive and didn't give us exactly what we needed for lead conversion as well as the customization we desired. However, I feel that some of the reasons we went with Velocify were not exactly truthful as we found out during the implementation process or much later that there were things they said that they could do that once we started getting into the weeds with it they weren't able to execute. From a lead conversion and speed to lead standpoint, this is a good product. From a reporting and lifecycle management standpoint, this is a very poor product compared to the other two

The system is fully scaleable both vertically and horizontally across the enterprise.

• Added more accounts to our funnel through intent feed
• Doubled the demo rate within 6 months
• Added $2.2m verified opps

• Faster lead conversion lead us to higher potential for "first school wins" philosophy.
• Negative return on time spent maintaining Velocify. Because manual reporting was needed and much had to be done outside of the system, there was a monetary loss of time because of this.
• Predictability was near impossible for us, and the fact that we had to purchase an email automation system because Velocify did not do anything we needed was a negative ROI for our business.
