Integration with LinkedIn and Salessoft: Several users have found the integration with LinkedIn and Salessoft in People.ai's Strategic Account Management to be a key feature in their sales process. This integration has allowed them to seamlessly access and leverage data from these platforms, enhancing their ability to identify potential leads and close deals effectively.
Ability to capture and create contacts for sales reps: Users appreciate People.ai's ability to capture and create contacts for sales reps who are actively engaging in business but have not yet been entered into Salesforce. This feature saves time for sales reps by automating the contact creation process, ensuring that no valuable leads are missed.
Prevention of duplicate contacts or leads: Many users have praised People.ai's capability to prevent duplicate contacts or leads from being entered into the system. This functionality helps maintain data cleanliness and avoids confusion or duplication of efforts among the sales team.
I use People.ai to manage my deals using the MEDDICC methodology and I use it to update my daily tasks as well. Really important because it enables a feature called Scorecard where we can see all gaps and what we don't know yet. With this vision is easy to understand where we need to put focus on.
Pros
Scorecard
Integration w/ Slack to update daily activities
Cons
No areas
Likelihood to Recommend
It's the best way to manage deals using MEDDICC methodology. When I say best way it's for sellers and sales manager/directors. Sometimes we need to collect a huge quantity of info and put all of this info in a good way to check and understand where we need to put our focus on is not a easy task and People.ai allows people work better.
We have been using People.ai for a little over a year now. We use it to help us improve the team's performance and to keep track of our team's activities. People.ai allows us to get real-time insights and updates on everyone's performance and progress. The best thing about it is that it's in real-time. We don't have to be on the lookout to make sure that everyone is doing what they are supposed to be doing and we get updates when someone is off track.
Pros
Strategic Account Management.
It play key role in our sales process.
Integration Linkedin, Salessoft.
Cons
Improve dashboard more.

I've been using People.ai for a bit now, and I've been consistently impressed. I use it to track how my team is doing, how my clients are doing, and how I'm doing. I can create custom dashboards with any metric I want to see. I can set goals, and they'll track my progress towards those goals. I can set up competitions between my team, and they'll tell me who's winning and who's losing. You can share these dashboards with your team, which means that everyone can see how everyone else is doing.
People.ai allows us to automatically ensure that emails and meetings set up with prospects are logged to Salesforce. Additionally, it’s a fantastic way to track goals and ensure I keep up my activity. It’s a powerful prospecting tool, almost to the point that the amount of data being captured is overwhelming and surprising.
Pros
Tracks activity
Syncs to Salesforce
Associates contacts from email to other systems
Cons
User interface was not very intuitive for the end user
It didn’t seem to be very customizable.
Likelihood to Recommend
Really helpful if you don’t have a good way to sync your G-suite or Office 365 suite to your CRM. Acts as a bridge and ensures that emails and meetings are automatically logged and captured as actionable data. Not as helpful if you already have this figured out a different way.
We use People.ai on our day-to-day team activities. This is very helpful in tracking our daily progress and activities. This is so useful in how we see our team and individual progress.
Pros
Tracked our daily activities
Provide reports on our progress (emails, calls, meetings, etc.)
It shows our team standing where we currently at and also it shows the team ranking
Cons
It's beneficial if we receive the report on a daily basis. I don't know if that is something to do with the settings. But for some reason, I am only getting it on a weekly or sometimes twice a week report.
Likelihood to Recommend
This is a great tool for our organization since we are getting an update on where are we at as a team and also as an individual contributor. It is highly recommended to companies/organization that monitors each staff's performance. It would be best if we get the update on a daily basis. I only receive it twice or once a week. I am not sure if that's from the settings or a setup being managed by the management.
We are currently using People.ai amongst our sales leaders to understand deal health and risks. It presents data living in salesforce in a meaningful way with visuals and flags to indicate your deal is healthy or has risks. At a glance we can understand the best course of action and coach our reps on deal strategy
Pros
Their Deal Room presents times when you are multi-threaded, engaged with executives, and have an upcoming meeting scheduled rather than stalking your reps calendar and salesforce activities.
They allow you to create areas performance dashboard with custom KPIs you want to measure
Cons
We are finding that activity metrics are being duplicated across calls and meetings. They share that this only seems to be a problem with Chorus customers that are pushing tasks to salesforce.
Likelihood to Recommend
It is well suited for qualifying opportunities and coaching sales reps on execution within a sales cycle. It also helps you analyze your team’s productivity metrics and how much time they are investing in prospecting vs interacting with their customers. Our sales Ops team also feels the way they ingest data/contacts into salesforce is second to none.
It's being used by the sales team exclusively. We use it as a sales productivity tool to track our calls, emails, meetings, etc. It addresses sales performance and holding sales reps accountable for activity. Leadership looks at it to track our performance as well. We have integrations with SFDC as well.
Pros
Goal setting
Capturing logged calls
Team accountability/friendly competition
Cons
Does not always pull meetings in correctly
Hard to use the goal setting tool
Likelihood to Recommend
Well suited for sales teams and less appropriate for customer success or nonclient facing roles.
Our entire sales team leverages People.ai to track all sales related activities. It gives us great visibility in to team productivity and allows us to better understand where people are spending their time and how we can help the team improve. The product was easy to implement and eliminates the need for the sales team to take any manual actions - a huge plus.
Pros
Simple integration in to sales reps workflows (Gmail, Salesforce, phone, etc)
Visibility in to rep activities. How many emails are being sent, who are they sending them to, how much time are they spending crafting emails?
All of this can be pushed in to Salesforce so that the executive team can maintain full visibility from our CRM.
Cons
Keep improving dashboarding in People.ai. Some of the work that is in Beta looks great.
Likelihood to Recommend
People.ai is a great fit for any sales environment. Automate tracking and push visibility and accountability throughout the org.
We used People.ai to ensure that all calls and emails were logged correctly in SFDC. Also, a key feature was the creation of opportunity contact roles on an opportunity. We also really liked their reporting functionality and their visualforce page widgets within SFDC
Pros
A great Customer Success Team and Support team. Specifically, Robin Johnson is fantastic!
All activities are being logged correctly
Creation of Opportunity Contact Roles
Cons
Their account matching could be better given the complexity of our account structure
Lead to OCR took some time to implement, but is a very promising feature
Likelihood to Recommend
Really well suited for creating activities without the sales reps doing this manually. Dashboards and reporting are a big plus too.
People.ai is primarily used as a means to capture sales activity (email, meetings, and calls). It saves our reps <i>many hours</i> of manual activity tracking. It's used across our entire sales organization and it helps our team spend more time on what matters most -- closing business.
In addition to tracking activities, their dedicated customer success team has really helped us train management on the best ways to use their platform internally during weekly 1:1s. They've also worked with us very closely to help better define our Opportunities' Contact Role creation.
Pros
People.ai matches activities to accounts and opportunities well. We're an Enterprise Software Solution company, and our account hierarchy can be challenging given today's structure of public and private companies. Given that matching web domains can be shared across multiple accounts, being able to filter further down object tables helps us get activities in the right place.
People.ai has a wonderful user interface. It's straightforward and easy to dive into. From an administrative perspective, turning features on and off is very simple. From a management perspective, their AI delivers insights into rep activity performance, which makes 1:1s more meaningful. They're also updating their Salesforce package frequently, which allows us to bring some great-looking VisualForce components to our page layouts. Their UX design stands out from the competition.
Weekly calls with their team help us take advantage of their offerings. They help us stay on track with new developments and ensure we're leveraging their team for support. We feel valued as a partner and appreciate their efforts to meet our requirements.

People.AI is great for logging all activities (Calls, Email, Meetings) to their related records in Salesforce. Aside from that, People.AI offers a great UI to help analyze and provide insights into activity.
People.ai was implemented as part of a Digital Sales Transformation for our Global Sales team. The implementation was done to reduce the administrative time the reps send creating contacts and tasks within Salesforce, as well as to ensure complete data and activity capture for customer-facing activities. The implementation started with a core group of pilot users, and was then released to a broader audience in the Sales team.
Pros
Contact Creation. People.ai is able to capture and create contacts that sales reps are actively engaging in business, but who have not yet been entered into Salesforce. People.ai is not only able to create the contact, but also attribute the contact to the correct Account (even if Accounts are a mess within SF). The tool also ensures that it does not duplicate contacts or leads that are already within the system, helping to maintain data cleanliness.
Activity Capture. People.ai captures all email and meeting activity, granting the ability to capture valuable data points. As these data points are attributed to Accounts and Opportunities, this activity can drive analytics on deal engagement and what it takes to move an opportunity through the funnel.
Platform Analytics. People.ai does an excellent job with their Platform analytics, and they are improving it constantly. While they are not a BI tool, they are able to show basic insights on how sales reps and sales teams are spending their time. They allow filtering of the activities to see a full aggregate picture of how the Sales business is running.
Cons
People.ai has a robust platform, however, this requires sales reps to log into one more platform and the People.ai platform is not customizable for selecting what can be viewed by users. If People.ai were to make the features in their platform available in Salesforce it would be a huge win for leveraging the data they aggregate. Hoping an API will soon be on the Roadmap
Time Spent. People.ai uses some logic to attribute values on the "time spent" on the activities being captured. They did improve their meeting aggregations so that they were not "double counting" time when multiple meetings were booked in the same time slot for a rep. Email time spent still seems to have some errors as the time spent on emails can show in excess of the weekly working hours of the reps.
Likelihood to Recommend
People.ai is well suited to ensure the capture of all contacts engaged in Accounts and Opportunities as well as the activity that occurred within the deals. These data points allow the reps to have a more full picture of their Accounts and Opportunities, while also reducing the administrative work they would need to do to get the data points into Salesforce manually. Once that data is in the system, the sky is the limit with the types of analysis that can be done to help improve the business and rep performance.
