Drift Reviews

We use Drift for Lead Gen and as a resource to navigate our websites. We rolled out Drift initially because we saw over 90% of our site visitors leaving without ever giving any contact information. To help tap into these potential leads we deployed Drift across several properties, tested if it was a net positive to our lead count and then deployed it into several other sites. The conversations steer you in the direction of talking to a rep, which helps our team leave a good impression on visitors. All the while it collects information regarding the visitor so that we can reach back out to them in the future. The sales reps are the only ones who are actively chatting on the platform, and they only come in after certain interest indicators have been triggered (i.e. the person wants to know the price).

We use Drift to engage with website visitors on blend.com. It's currently being managed by Demand Generation with our SDR team being the day to day users. It provides the company with alternative channels for prospects to gather info and book meetings.

We use Drift to capture website visitors and speak to them at the moment of interest. It is primarily used by sales but we get questions regarding customer support as well. I keep the website on during work hours and answer questions. We purchased drift with the hopes of learning who is coming to our website that we didn't capture through leadlander or demo request.

Drift is currently being used by our marketing and sales team for its bot feature, which has helped us increase our lead conversion rates on our site while also increasing our contact rates with those leads since it allows for immediate routing of leads to sales through the chat functionality. Outside of that, our client services team is using Drift's meeting link to help increase efficiency in booking meetings with our clients and prospects.

Our marketing and sales department use Drift to track and engage with our website visitors. We have personalized playbooks so that when a prospect or client from "x" company visits our site, we not only know that they've visited, but we also have targeting messaging towards that account. We are currently trialing the upgraded version where we can watch the live view and see what organization the person is from (based off of their IP address)
Drift also keeps a log of emails opened/read. This is not one of the selling features, as there are other companies that do that much better.

We used Drift to increase engagement on our website, and also to collect self-qualified leads without having to lead someone off the page they were interested in to a landing page. We had found that not a lot of people were willing to speak to the live chat, and the live chat was difficult to man across timezones. Drift allowed us to use live chat if we needed, but we were primarily able to let people have non-threatening conversations and generate leads sent directly to our CRM.

Drift is our communication platform for site visitors. It has enabled us to talk to interested business owners while they are browsing, instead of waiting when they are busy with work.

Drift was set up on the website to enable live chat as a starting point. We then expanded to use Drift sequences as our primary outbound sales solution to enable 1-to-1 communications with prospects.

We use Drift on our sales and sales engineering teams. We use it to help our prospects get better connected with the right resources. We use it to gather information from our prospects to qualify them as potential buyers.

Drift is used by the Business Development team to communicate with prospects when they first reach our site. It allows us to quickly answer questions and determine interest levels in a more efficient manner than filling out forms and relying on email communication.

We used Drift on our main corporate website, as well as all of our local websites. It was nice having one platform for all of our website chat activity. We did set up a couple of the automated questions to try to guide users to the correct place prior to having customer service intervention. We also utilized different messages for when we were closed in the evenings and weekends.

I needed a front end chat/support system for an SaaS product. I specifically needed the ability to receive and respond to pre-sale questions about the product. I didn't want to be tied to a computer, so mobile app access on the go was a must-have feature.

Drift is being used by our inbound sales team. It's main purpose is to prospect and chat with Enterprise leads, but can also provide support and discussing best plan options for those who have questions.

We use Drift as a support tool and as a method to capture leads. Our support, accounts, and marketing teams share the responsibility of monitoring the chat. We have something of a unique case because we want to use it to reach other businesses who come to our site, but do not want to be flooded with the customers of those businesses (who are the bulk of traffic to our site). Because of this, we target it only on a few specific pages.

We are using Drift on multiple company websites to facilitate the live communication of our sales & support teams/departments with website visitors and app users. It solves multiple problems for us. The first one is being able to support existing users or visitors already familiar with our offerings learn some more information or ask specific questions about our products. The second one is identifying possible prospects based on a number of factors like time on the website, the number of pageviews, company size, and industry (through the Clearbit integration) and proactively engage them with automated questions and specialized offerings so that we can start a conversation with them and eventually gather their contact details.
It also allows us to keep track of our history with every individual user, such as how many times they've been on the website, the personal and contact details, which we can then feed to our CRM once we determine someone is a Sales Qualified Lead (SQL).

We use Drift as a means to communicate with current and potential customers, in an effort to improve our overall customer experience. Drift allows us announce outages, run promotions and provide technical support without having to call in to our offices.

We've been testing drift in place of an intercom. We really need a good ticket management tool besides intercoms because of the PHI. Drift allows us to collect the right user data under an agreement that would allow us not be compromised if there was a security breach.
