We use 6sense to better understand how we are reaching out to an account, if there is any interest, and who we should be reaching out to. It gives us insight into who is engaging with our emails, other content, and helps us understand the level of interest. If there is a high level of reach and they are showing interest and are in a buying state, there is a higher probability that we will be successful in the account.
  • They do a good job at tracking engagement with the different interactions an account has with your company.
  • They can help you identify possible target personas and specific contacts.
  • They also can help track your reach within an organization and help you determine if a customer is in a buying stage.
  • They could provide more training materials
  • Having more alerts or triggers of particular customer engagements would be nice.
6sense is great for quickly viewing how well an account is being reached out to and understanding where there is opportunity for outreach and growth within an account. It's great for when you are trying to search for warmth within an account, instead of strictly cold outreach. But it's not great for identifying specific website visitors that you can then reach out to.

I use 6sense as a predictive analytics and account-based marketing platform to identify high-potential accounts, personalize marketing efforts, prioritize leads, and align sales and marketing teams. I use 6sense to identify accounts most likely to convert, enabling targeted marketing campaigns and content delivery to increase conversion rates and ultimately drive revenue.
  • Integrated software that brings scoring directly to sales users.
  • Intent insight that helps with content personalization.
  • Account-based advertising.
  • Skepticism on where the views/searches are coming from
  • There are errors/glitches but they have great support to help.
  • Can be slow at times.
  • User experience in the Salesforce dashboard isn't as nice as the main interface.
6sense is great for identifying in-market accounts that might be overlooked by sales and marketing. It is great for creating stage-based campaigns to build out content that is applicable to a buyer's journey. Slack alerts are great for sales to see high-intent accounts to help with prioritizing their outreach.

We use 6sense for intent, segmentation, modeling, and personalization.
  • Customer Support
  • Enablement
  • Documentation
  • Segment filtering by priority or operation
  • Segment exports could have more data within them
  • Sometimes the model isn't as accurate as we'd like
Defining a target market and honing in on specific campaigns is what 6sense does best. Segmentation functions could be more customizable/functional.

We use 6sense to specifically target companies that are high priority. We also utilize 6sense to deanonymize site visitors and lead scoring for our sales development team. This allows are Sales Development Representatives and Account Executives to work together to target companies AND users that have shown purchase intent with our products.
  • Predictive Data
  • Banner Ads
  • Reporting
  • Training
  • Notifications
  • Further integrations
6sense is well suited for targeting specific companies that have shown high intent in purchasing your products. You need to have training and cohesion with your Google display ads. The hardest part for us is getting expertise within the product and showcasing results. Reporting can be an issue at time.

6sense unlocks al the hidden business potentials that can increase revenue. It pinpoints areas where there are potential clients who are more interested in our products. It gives digital team an opportunity to pan and transform manual processes that derail development plans. The product has enabled the sales and marketing team to understand behavior of consumers and how they can have productive engagements with them.
  • Linking the business with potential customers.
  • Examining buyers behavior.
  • Provision of market intelligence.
  • I am impressed by the operation of all the features.
  • The functionalities have suited our demands.
  • I like the overall contribution of this platform in the company programs.
The market and interested audience intelligence helps us to prepare and plan effectively for daily programs. It enables us to monitor revenue flow and plan efficiently for the available resources. 6sense provides reliable data that gives marketing team power of engaging the right customers. The AI continuously delivers accurate revenue data that is used to budget and allocate suitable resources for sales and marketing teams.

6sense helps us identify which accounts are potentially in market so we can build a coordinated sales/marketing strategy.
  • Provides intent data on in-market accounts
  • The 6sense dashboard in Salesforce gives an at-a-glance look at marketing and sales activities by account
  • Allows us to define segments for coordinated outreach across sales and marketing
  • List building/segment creation is clunky. It takes awhile to load and duplicate segments.
  • Some segments aren’t “out of the box” with other 3rd party platforms. This is more of a complaint with 3rd parties where they will say “yes you can build these segments in 6sense” but actually not much intent data comes back.
6sense is terrific in helping build lists based on intent- finding which accounts may be in awareness, consideration, decision, or purchase phase. If you want to build an outreach specifically targeting one of those segments, the integration with Salesforce and LinkedIn makes it easy to assign out as a digital campaign, or over to an outbound team for follow up.

We use 6sense to help us identify accounts that are in the market, execute targeted display advertising, and build account-based LinkedIn audience segments. 6sense enables us to target accounts we want to work with from a sales perspective (account lists) as well as accounts we don't know of yet that fit our ideal client profile and are in the market to buy. Additionally, they help us prioritize accounts for sales outreach.
  • Identify accounts that are in-market and likely to buy
  • Targeted outreach
  • Fantastic customer success teams that help troubleshoot, provide creative solutions, and aid in stakeholder conversations
  • Additional segmentation for niche audiences
  • More in-platform functionality (Coming soon?)
6sense is perfect if you are looking to be a revenue driver for your organization. If you are taking an account-based marketing approach or looking to help your sales team identify/prioritize account outreach. Whether you're looking to generate new demand or make sense of how to best follow up with existing demand, 6sense is a lifesaver.

I use 6Sense to see how engaged members of businesses are with the content my company sends out, to determine a plan of action in how to connect with their team, and more.
  • Statistics on email opens and website visits
  • Organization of decision makers at companies
  • Reports on Intent activities of companies
  • Users who unsubscribe to marketing emails should not improve Buying Stage rankings
  • The 6Sense Dashboard in Salesforce should not be so clunky
  • The 6Sense Dashboard should do better at accurately reporting data within a user's sales territory
Many times, a high 6Sense intent score accurately indicates a company's intention to purchase.

We use this to see how our prospect our interacting with us. We can see who is actively looking at our site, clicking on key links. It helps us focus on which prospects should be our top priority to go after. This is able to focus our efforts to the best accounts possible.
  • Organizes and prioritizes accounts
  • Notifies us when a prospect is actively on our website
  • Gives us talking points when calling a prospect because it will show what areas on our website they were on showing us their specific areas of interest
  • Sometimes it is confusing because it will pull up accounts that are not in our name and so you have to sometimes sort through accounts that are not relevant to you
  • It will still show prospects that have been disqualified
  • It will sometimes some active customers that have bought already
It is definitely best suited for outbound representatives, they are able to prioritize their accounts and see where they should be focusing their energy. Normally you wouldn't have the insight of what they are clicking on and looking at on our website. It also show what the searched for sometimes too. On the inbound side it is not as useful, but occasionally you will see an account that may have not been as easy to contact that then comes back and is on our site and you can see that and know to reach back out possibly.

6sense helps me keep an eye on activity within my client portfolio and alerts me when my clients are looking for new solutions which means new opportunities.
  • Provide insight into my clients' searches and interests
  • Keep me informed when clients are looking for an alternative provider
  • I need all my information within my CRM
  • I need to be able to customize my own key words instead of going to an admin
  • Sometimes it's too much information
I had a client who was searching for a solution we offer but the contact did not know me or what my company does. I saw someone from the company was searching for supplier risk information and called my contact to ask for a referral to their procurement department.

Great intent tool to guide SDRs and AEs to go prospecting into the right accounts in a timely manner. It's overall a good solution, and we've sourced some strong opportunities for it over time. Likewise, it's also a good tool to review around renewal time for customers to see if those accounts have been searching any of your competitors.
  • Intent
  • Prospecting
  • Renewal
  • Occasionally I find the data to be misleading, and some accounts will perpetually show to be in a buying cycle.
  • Universities pop up often, but it's typically just students looking at tools.
Renewals, prospecting, and intent detection is great. They claim that the longer the algo is live, the better the data quality is and the CSM suggested that our algo was great. I wouldn't rate the insights as full proof, and probably only 25%-30% of the accounts suggested actually wanted to buy. Which, 25%-30% is still better than ice cold prospecting...so, net-net, it's positive.

Mainly for prospecting and researching medium business clients. I work in the cybersecurity industry and our company introduced this resource last year to help with research, client contact information, what products they currently use, and what organization. I am still fairly new but it seems very helpful and I have seen some success initially. I look forward to using it more efficiently and hitting my quota. I highly recommend 6sense to any small, medium, or large firms that are looking for a good marketing resource. Look no further!
  • Accurate data
  • Simple to use
  • Functionality
  • Efficiency
  • More training
  • Add more features
  • More support
Suited for my role of Account Manager, sales, customer success, marketing, and other executive roles. It makes it easier to prospect and research accounts in my space and the validity of data before reaching out to clients. I feel more confident about my research and it's a reliable source of information. Building credibility with clients and has shortened the sales cycle because now I can get customer contact and email quick enough rather than searching through websites and other sources which are not very accurate. Thank you, 6sense.

It is used to prospect efficiently. I use it on a weekly basis to track which accounts to target. It allows me to see where and what my prospects are doing. It is the most useful when it is accurately linked to LinkedIn and I can connect with the right people
  • Distinguishing what phase of the buying cycle accounts are in
  • letting me know when prospects sign up for a webinar or reject emails
  • integrated very well with LinkedIn
  • It could be updated more frequently
  • used as a weekly or biweekly tool
I have found contacts I didn't know in an account through 6sense. I then used the tips 6sense suggested they were looking at to tailor my prospecting and outreach around whatever he/she was looking at and managed to get the first meeting. One thing lead to another and I was able to close a deal in a net new account through 6sense's help.

Great for people who has a lot of accounts who interact with your site and set alerts for engagement. It has been super helpful in understanding where to spend your time. Great for aligingin markeitng and sales.
  • Usage alerts
  • Site Engagement
  • More detailed reporting
  • Levels of Alerts
In sales organizations where site engagement is a direct factor to reach out to prospects. For some users such as accounts who would normally come to the site to check on support docs, it may not be as important. I do think this is a very versatile tool as it is still great for companies with fewer accounts too.

I use 6sense to get access to lead activity and follow up on customers and prospect customer engagement.
  • Tracks usage among known visitors/leads.
  • It is able to organize and sync data with Salesforce information.
  • It is able to provide suggested questions or lines of questioning.
  • The UI/UX is not great. It takes too long to get to the data I need in an accessible way.
  • If the data was able to be configured based upon user preference, or filtered in ways that each user could organize based on what they prioritize that would help; eg if I am interested in organizing my recent activities by the account owner or industry and then filter them in such a way I could perform this.
  • The click-down process into accounts is too tedious and inefficient. I think a collapsed/expand drop down based on account and user would work better. I've been making pivot tables based on the data in excel and it is a huge time saver for me personally.
I have and do suggest it, I just do it with a few caveats. It's helpful to an extent at least to see who is engaging us, but the messaging does not always stick.

6Sense has been incredible to see where we need to double down on our efforts, and who is looking for more information on our company. We use 6Sense as our regular workflow to prospect into new accounts, and target existing prospects to create more tailored messaging. We save hours every day by having 6sense.
  • Visibility
  • Reporting
  • High Account Volumes
  • Easier access to reporting
  • Separate dashboard
  • Real time data
6Sense is great for account managers and account development teams because it helps you stay on top of who you need to reach out to. 6Sense makes sense for organizations like ours that have tons of prospects going through the pipeline and who can be left behind if we are not careful. The tool may not be as useful for smaller sales organizations.

We've been using 6sense to identify the behavior of known and unknown accounts not only on our website but also across other non-owned channels. Then we were able to prioritize the accounts based on the behavior and subsequently orchestrate a holistic, multi-channel, multi-touch campaign in order to increase engagement of the targetted accounts.
  • Discover intent of accounts
  • Identify accounts
  • Segmentation
  • Media network performance (Display)
  • Business model, limited functionality with basic package
  • Platform speed
1. 6sense fits well into your organization when an organization is already doing full ABM including buying from the different stakeholders 2. 6sense is a bit difficult to integrate when dealing with a traditional sales organsation, it can be hard to make the transformation.

Finding warm leads through tracking activities from the domains that are within our account base. If a prospect has been engaged with our content on our direct website OR and relative syndicated content we get reminders through slack so that we can reach out to the respective prospect and help with any questions they may have regarding the content.
  • tracks website engagement
  • provides intent scores for our prospects to indicate their buying intent
  • gives notifications when there are hot leads
  • 6sense has been really active in working with our team to improve the accuracy of info and add filters to exclude any bad data
6sense is well suited for companies that do a lot of outbound prospecting OR ones who have a large online-advertisement presence and want to track their site visits across their prospect database.

I use 6sense to find "scoops" on my prospects, which then informs my messaging outreach. Slack sends me notifications when prospects look at our website, and sometimes it even tells me the exact name and title of the person researching. Then, I know who to prioritize when outbound. 6sense gives me a talk track.
  • Ranks accounts by decision making stage
  • Gives detailed information about what prospects are researching about my company
  • Allows me to prioritize certain accounts over others
  • there are many, many notifications
  • I wish I could see the names/titles of prospects whom I get notifications for
  • more integrations with other platforms, like Outreach
6sense allows me to narrow my talk track to the specific areas the prospect is researching. It is well suited for salespeople who are outbound cold. I can run reports on Salesforce that organizes accounts by decision-making stage.

I use 6sense via the weekly scheduled reports I get each week. How I use these reports is that anyone who comes in on the report I reach out to directly as well as anyone on their team who I find on LinkedIn. Based on the content they interact with, I send relevant messages to the other members of their teams. I have heard of some of my team members using daily reports so that they can reach out more promptly but I have not used this myself.
  • Gives a way to know who is interacting with content from Databricks
  • has the ability to send on a schedule so you do not forget to use the tool
  • for a rep with 500+ accounts it helps to narrow the focus for me
  • It seems like often times the people I reach out to have no idea why I am reaching out
  • there should be a way to define which companies seem like a high priority fit
  • there should be emailed lists of us for which companies or prospects we should reach out to
I think that maybe because I am an AE this tool is not really meant for those in this role. I think if I were a BDR who was just trying to drum up conversations and that was the way I was paid it could be useful. It's just that the leads and insights that I get from this tool are not super helpful to me. It is good for when there are a TON of people from one account who are interested at once.

Outbound sales looking into people that interacted with content and recommended leads. Wouldn't really specify a business problem but the product does reveal people that might have gotten lost or not appeared through salesforce. The scope is pretty big - deal with various companies and greenfield accounts that require some insights as to relevant persona and sort of inbound patterns.
  • Shows you people you might have missed
  • Integrates very well with outreach
  • Provides key words to understand trends
  • convenient in terms of knowing which people not to contact
  • some reports render people that no longer work at the company
  • some reach prospect appear under the most engaged filter
  • often lost as to what "positively responded" moment means
well suited for current customers and understanding trends through keywords and target persona based on that. I'd say a hit or miss for greenfield accounts - since in my own experience I often get people that no longer work at the company. All of these are for prospecting - super well suited to get a good profile of the person and direct links to LinkedIn and others.

I find this very useful to see account buying stages and activity. This gives me a targeted approach to reaching out to warmer leads and groups. This also lets me know how engaged the current groups I'm working with are as we go through their evaluation. I think this has been pertinent in my sales role. One of the best tools we have available in our sales org.
  • Account buying stages
  • Easy to view and use within Salesforce
  • built out Salesforce reports or filters that have been successful industry-wide would be cool
  • More accuracy in information (though this isn't necessarily far off as of now)
6sense has been great for looking at accounts in different buying stages. As far as leads I'll use our marketing team's info. 6sense has been pivotal in creating a targeted approach to accounts to pursue. Without it, one might be lost in creating a target account list. 6sense has also been great for accounts not in buying stage and getting the word out to them to try and spin some gears so as to potentially add them to your target account list later on.
