Scratchpad vs. Spiky

Frankly, if I can do something in Scratchpad instead of Salesforce, I prefer Scratchpad because it's faster, easier, simpler, with a much more readable and useable interface. Salesforce has been getting requests to allow font size modification for over a decade and hasn't even done that. That's what sent me looking for something like Scratchpad. I sort of view it as a much more user-friendly UI to layover SF. It's faster and less frustrating than SF for frequent daily activities. It's great for creating notes and tracking tasks at a basic level in a much more user friendly environment than Salesforce. But it interacts w/ SF, which is great!

Spiky sales coaching powered by AI. The difference between sales coaching and sales training is that coaching is all about improving what is already going on in your sales operations, so the results come faster for two reasons: a) Personalized recommendations to each member of the team based on analysis of their current sales meetings and performance. b) The recommendations and suggestions can be prioritized for implementation based on results. Sales training is about general best practices and skills that need to be acquired and practiced by your team for a certain time before you can see the results. It's more general, less effective, and less immediate. Spiky is sales coaching on steroids.

• Insights into sales team performance and opportunities for improvement.
• Seamless interface to support a large sales team with call summaries, analytics, and helpful coaching.
• Easy to implement and rollout across my org.
• No development resources required to integrate and get started.
• Better value than similar tools I've used in the past.

• When pulling in Salesforce reports, it doesn't have full ability to do grouping/sorting.
• When looking at pipeline view there's not an ability to expand the default view to see more than 5 people per group.
• It'd be nice if comments would go as a task rather than a buzz.

• I don't particularly appreciate that it's only available in English.
• We do also operate with customers in South America, where all conversations are carried in Spanish, so presently, we can only enjoy the competitive advantages in half of our sales operations.
• This kind of breakthrough technology should be available globally.

So intuitive and user friendly

It doesn't. Scratchpad is more agile and much easier to use as a seller managing a large patch with lots of opportunities. SAP is robust but is far more complicated and involves a lot more inputs to get the same outputs that you can get with Scratchpad in half the time and effort.

Spiky.ai has a unique approach for layering in sentiment/emotional analysis, which makes it much easier to review calls with the context. For example, sales reps and managers can capture how customers react to demos, new product features, different talk tracks, answers to questions or objections etc. This would be super hard to analyze (and very subjective) and do without Spiky's assistance on calls. There is so much data from video calls that are not captured by traditional tools like Gong and Spiky is adding super powers that help everyone better understand what is working or isn't working.

• I save many hours a week using Scratchpad to simply manage my tasks.
• I no longer waste time waiting for SFDC to load.
• I can easily create opps, adjust the pipeline, and check to see if someone is already prospecting into an account.
