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.

Consensus lets us quickly send pre-recorded demos to prospects in the early-stage funnel. This frees up our internal resources before we tailor a personalized demo. It is essentially an extension of our pre-sales team, where we have access to an extensive library of demos and customer story videos that we can access in minutes and send out post-prospect meetings. The ability to record a personalised intro video has been a game changer. I have had positive feedback from prospects, who thank me for taking the time to personalise my outreach and post-meeting follow-ups.
  • Usability
  • searchable demo library
  • personalised intro video recording feature.
  • integration to gmail
  • Speed to follow up prospects
  • The UX on setting up emails to send demos could be a little smoother
  • No ability to send multiple demos to one prospect at a time.
This is great for sending demos to prospects who are not fully qualified. Late-funnel prospects probably should have a tailored demo at that stage of the sales process. A great example is that after a prospect meeting, I will record a personalised video to recap what was discussed and attach all the specific use cases and demo scenarios mentioned in the call from the prospect. This can be recorded and sent post-meeting within 20 minutes, and it is a compelling way to keep the top of mind the prospect. They can share this content internally, and we can track opens, view time, and who they shared it with internally, which is a real game changer.
  • save SC time by upt o 70%
  • Sped up sales cycle time by 2 months
  • Increased win rate by 15%
We evaluated Consensus vs Highspot 2 years ago, and although we still have Highspot, we use Consensus around 90% time vs 10% Highspot. Highspot is suitable for sending analyst's reports and product and industry whitepapers; Consensus is far superior with pre-recorded demos and personalised video intros and the ability to track opens, gain insights on how long they have watched and demo, and what part of the demo was the had more engagement with and to track who they send the demo to internally gives you incredible insights.

Consensus has been a valuable and vital sales tool at every stage of our sales cycle. In the very early stages of prospect education, you can send videos to get them familiar and up to speed with our product without a solution consultant's involvement. It is also a very powerful tool at the later stages of the sales cycle, with the ability to tailor demos and intro videos and record exec alignment itro videos, which we have had great success with.
so easy to use , no training required
