Consensus for the win

Rating: 9 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I work at Blackbaud and use Consensus almost daily. As an account executive for current clients, it is very helpful to have prerecorded demonstrations at my disposal for clients to see functionality of what they own. I am also able to use it to prequalify any evaluations. My clients can get a high level view of our software and decide if its worth moving forward with. This enables clients to watch demonstrations on their own time before committing to a live demo. Using Consensus is very easy and user friendly. I am able to track who is watching what and if they are really engaged. I really enjoy using Consensus and would highly recommend it.

Pros

  • Help current clients see functionality of tools they own
  • Prequalify sales pursuits
  • Provide high level demonstrations to clients interested in an evaluation.

Cons

  • No problems with Consensus! I need our team to upload more content.

Likelihood to Recommend

- sales pursuits

- qualify interest in our solutions

- Share high level demos with board members and leadership that don't want to sit on a full demo.

Best Demo Platform in the Market

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Consensus to send out demos to prospects to move the sales cycle in a seamless manner. This workflow helps to better utilize our resources internally so that aren't looping in a Sales Engineer every time a prospect wants to see a demo. In addition, this saves the sales team a lot of time!

Pros

  • Integrates with gmail
  • integrates with Salesforce
  • allows for Template creations for flexibility

Cons

  • Clean up the UX/UI

Likelihood to Recommend

I would greatly recommend Consensus to a colleague or organization that has a sales team and focuses a lot of time on hosting demos. This would bring a seamless experience to that team and open up the doors to utilize resources in areas that bring in more revenue. Thanks again

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Consensus to generate relevant content for our software publishing business and to be able to send targeted and dedicated materials. Moreover, we give the permission to our partners also to provide content. Lastly, the fact that we can create tours and dynamique ones is very appreciated by users and also prospects and clients.

Pros

  • Tours
  • Outlook integration
  • multi branching demoboard
  • tracking

Cons

  • there is no simple feature to replace a person who left. It measn the name of this person will appear for ever whereas he could left for the competitor
  • the new range of dates is no intuitive or it should first per default to search for all content

Likelihood to Recommend

When you have an existing library with single video and tours, you can simply create demobards with a mix of them. Moreover, you can simply create a demobaord from an demo library content which is very fast to create.

However, when we want to address lots of people then, they will see a huge list at the beginning of the lap and becasue of that we have to split the demoboard into several ones but afterall the tracking is not relevant

Excellent Software to Highlight demos and recaps

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use it daily to send follow ups and it is great to send prior to demos to uncover key stakeholders and highlight what the team wants to focus on for the demo

Pros

  • Follow up videos
  • Uncovers key stakeholders
  • Tracks interest in the product

Cons

  • Faster Thumbnail load times
  • Easier bulk send options
  • Make it easier for the clients to click what they want to see and not have to worry about hitting "not interested" for the ones they don't care about

Likelihood to Recommend

If you need to send follow up to clients or specific features you didn't have time to showcase. Can use it to create custom videos as well

Easy to use and effective

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Consensus to send product demos to prospects. Typically, these are cold out bounds to warm leads. After brief introduction to the values of the product, we’ll send a demo to the customer before we meet again to hitch really enables us to have a better discussion around product fit for the prospect.

Pros

  • Easy to send demos
  • Tracking features are great
  • Multiple viewers

Cons

  • Wish it had a watch all and skip choices function.
  • UI is a little clunky when choosing from library.
  • For commonly used demos, it would be great to have one click sending.

Likelihood to Recommend

Consensus is well suited for sending mini demos to prospects that have been vetted and are interested in the product. It’s great to see the areas of the product they have the most interest in which allows me to tailor the next in person meeting to match their interests. The reporting is good to know as well as it gives insights on how much time the prospect spent reviewing the material (if at all!)

Shorten Your Sales Cycle

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have used Consensus as a selling tool at a couple different companies. Being able to send recorded demos to my prospects has led to reduced sales cycle times in multiple instances. In my current role, I run around 2 demos per day that last close to 2 hours – if I’m not able to get to everything I want to show in one session, I used Consensus demos as follow up materials. I get notifications when someone starts to watch, which signals that it is a good time to give them a call.

Pros

  • to potentially shorten your sales time and avoid multiple live demo's by having pre-recorded demos to send your prospects
  • See when prospects start watching demos
  • Create more detailed follow ups

Likelihood to Recommend

Sending pre-recorded demo's of specific areas of the software that I was not able to show during the initial live demonstration.

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Consensus to create and share demos with prospects to showcase UX and UI of our platform

Pros

  • Create and monitor engagement with the demo
  • Create user flows of web platforms
  • Customise content for prospects

Cons

  • Video editing tool is not super easy to use
  • Set up settings before sharing could be easier

Likelihood to Recommend

Consensus is super when it comes to share demos or to wrap up sales meetings, providing a tool to showcase UX/UI of our platform. When you need to do some video editing, the provided tool seems to be a little outdated and difficult/slow to use. Customer support and customer success manger are GREAT

Easy tool to share and track videos to your prospects and clients.

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I'm commercial, and I use Consensus to share technical videos to explain what our company does. I think is very easy to use and also is good for tracking activity and interest of the client on these videos.

Pros

  • Personalize videos
  • Share Videos
  • Tracking client activity from these videos

Cons

  • From my point of view there is nothing to improve
  • I think this tool is ok for my use cases

Likelihood to Recommend

I think is good to share technical videos to client, as I dont have this quality to explain to them on this way. Is very good to send the Consensus video before we go to a live demo, this way our presales can adapt and personalize the demo without loosing time.
