Product Details

What is Consensus?

Consensus is an Intelligent Demo Automation Platform built to enable buyers by scaling presales with interactive video demos. Presales and technical sales teams automate repetitive product demos which allows them to reallocate that time to higher value activities. Buyers get a tailored demo — one that guides them with digital, interactive and on-demand video demos. This in turn helps sellers uncover additional stakeholders and eliminates unqualified demos, which in turn brings both sides to the table ready to talk specifics when live calls occur.


Consensus Intelligent Demo Automation is a platform built to shorten the sales cyle by focusing on enabling the buyer with demo content they want by scaling presales. Sales reps send presales-created content on demand from demo libraries and leverage analytics to align buyer stakeholders based on persona priorities and specific value propositions. Elements of this platform include: Interactive Video Demos: Videos recorded by SEs and SCs that are uploaded into Consensus. Sales reps share demos from integrations or Chrome extensions and buyers personalize their experience by ranking features based on relevance and eliminting unwanted noise. Interactive Product Tours: Consensus allows reps to create tours that allow buyers to click through the most important parts of the solution and receive additional information via text guides and video explainers. Demolytics: Analytics that provide insights into buyer intent and stakeholder engagement with heat maps and persona-level view data.

Our software solution is more technical than most, and has specific value across a multitude of verticals. It’s difficult to communicate the technical nuances that benefit certain industries. Our engineers are on high demand, and instead of having them take time to highlight the value of our solution each time we engage them with a prospect, we’re able to share the Consensus videos prior to their engagement and cover the “50,000 ft overview” via the short videos and find more value in technical discovery as it pertains to a specific use case. It has helped us expedite the sales process and enables our prospects to learn about our solution at their convenience. There are also stats that speak to viewings, sharing of videos, and allows the prospects to select what areas of the solution are most important to them for additional insights. Very powerful tool for our sales and sales engineering departments.
  • Short demonstrations
  • Insight on what’s important to users
  • Quicker method to construct demo boards
  • Option to only provide videos
  • Automated follow up of video not views
A great solution between discovery and technical demonstrations. Insight on what aspects of the solution prospect/customers value most. Expedited sales cycle. Stats on viewership. Highlighting valuable areas of software solutions with multiple value props for multiple industries or personas. Saving engineers for more valuable conversations as opposed to taking time having very basic conversations.
  • Creating demo boards
  • Checking views of certain videos
  • Ability to create multiple videos at once
  • Faster time to close
  • Save time on repetitive conversations
