Drift Reviews

We are using Drift as the key technology on our website to connect with our buyers and book meetings. We first got Drift when our Marketing team completely rebuilt Smartling’s website in 2018. I knew we needed to modernize our web experience and get rid of the old school forms to make it easier for potential customers to connect with us. We also ended up adding on Drift Automation about a year later, which helps us create a consistent experience for every single visitor to our website 24 hours a day.

Drift is being used as a chat function through our Sales Development Team. Drift allows for us to manage customer questions in real time to provide our website users with quick answers about product related inquiries. Drift is cutting down on our lead follow up time, which accelerates our sales cycles and is also being used to help create a better overall customer experience when using our website.

Today Drift is being used on our website to help schedule demos, answer information, and help to qualify potential leads that are inbound on our website. It solves the issue of potentially having to go through extra steps to submit a form to get information or have someone reach out. It's directly engaging that customer. As of today, it is only utilized by our Sales Department although there is potential to cross into Support when the time is right. It's been a helpful tool in quick responses to easy sales questions, building a conversation and turn a lead into a converted lead and expediting a qualification process to demo to sale.

I've been using Drift for the past couple years to engage site visitors on my personal website where I provide tailor-made localization solutions for video game companies, game developers, localization agencies and individuals. Drift is helping us keep users engaged, answer their questions on the go and convert prospective leads into clients.

Drift is used to convert website visitors as well as directing them to the right part of the website. Also, it integrates Marketing and Sales Development efforts. Therefore, it's used across the multiple departments and all business lines of the company. It also gives us more insights about our product offerings as well as who is coming to our website.

We use Drift to help improve our inbound marketing effectiveness. Target accounts get a personalized experience that allows them to schedule meetings directly with their reps. Other accounts are able to interact with the chat experience and get directed to appropriate resources.

This helps us improve funnel velocity for target accounts and reduce the time spent by SDRs qualifying inbound leads.

We use it for additional options for leads and customers to talk to sales or customer support without having to fill out a form. It gives people on the website a different way to convert.

Dyknow uses Drift's conversational marketing chatbots to drive and qualify digital inbound traffic. Drift is solely used by the GTM (sales & marketing team), however, we do have service's customers sign up for marketing content/events through Drift as well. Drift addresses the friction and time problem that forms plague on so many SaaS companies. The old form/qualify model is broken, people want information instantly, and Drift allows us to get what our inbound audience wants and needs quicker.

We've been using Drift at KeyedIn as a better way for us to interact with our customers and potential customers. Before we used to have a very manual way of reaching and interacting. Now with Drift we've been able to have customers or potential clients come to the website and be directed to help in a very automated way. We can now communicate in a new way.

We use Drift to engage visitors on our website, collect feedback responses, and capture leads. We have started to use Drift for support questions as well and we soon plan to implement the calendar scheduling features. It's currently used by our teams in two countries, and we plan on expanding it to the entire organization in the coming months.

Drift it used by our inbound sales response team on our website. As someone browses our website, a Drift “Bot” will ask if they have questions around pricing or our services. If they answer yes, then our sales response team will initiate a website chat with them around our product and services to start the sales cycle.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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 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.
