Seismic is really helpful when reaching out to a prospect who requests additional information but doesn't currently have time for a conversation. I'll send them a bunch of different links in Seismic, and then I receive a notification when they view the content so that I can be prepared for our follow up conversation and can steer the conversation toward their specific interests.

I believe that in any sales organizations, Seismic would be a great tool. It has so much functionality that allows me as a salesperson to choose from a variety of tools to accomplish the same outcome. I have opened my way of approaching prospects to a whole new way, as sending good material and tracking it has increased efficiency.

Seismic is extremely well suited in a marketing or sales positions in which it is important to track the interest of a prospect. The fact that you get live feedback while the contact is viewing information and can get an understanding of which pages and parts the contact found most important is imperative in strategically targeting your pitch approach. I have found it very helpful as well in identifying if prospects are actually interested. If they never open the Seismic link, it gives me an excuse to follow up by phone and see if they got my email, open the door for more conversation, etc.

Seismic is easy to use and anyone at any age or level can pick it up in minutes. The ability to rely on the system to get your work done, as opposed to needing to request another individual to complete the work, is great. The tool is simple and easy to use to create your own presentation all by yourself!

If you want more than just a digital asset management system (like Dropbox or even webDAM or Bynder), but you're not ready for a top-of-the-line system that requires more investment, Seismic might be an okay solution. I'd recommend it for organizations with a less complicated set of assets -- e.g. only one product line.

You can send "LiveSends" and track engagement, but you have to build your own integrations to get any usable reporting. It is great for some dynamic text content based on the client you want to send it to, but is very limited in functionality.

Administration of the tool is awful as it is built using software that doesn't work in Chrome.

Seismic is well suited for scenarios that merit additional enablement beyond my own abilities. Our company has put a lot of money into creating assets and enablement pieces to help drive revenue, so that extra arrow in our quiver is very helpful in the sales cycle. Some scenarios require a more personal touch, so some of the enablement material isn't as relevant.

The company did a great job of working with us to help tune the application to our needs. The application itself was a game-changer for the organization in terms of enabling everyone to access and utilize a common set of up-to-date content for outreach to customers and internal documentation. The ability to mark certain content as "Favorites", track usage of each piece of content and the interoffice commentary about each piece was all very valuable.

Seismic is well suited for organizing large amounts of marketing materials and allowing for quick discovery, access, and customization of those materials. Seismic is less appropriate for use cases that are a little "outside the box". It handles what it was created to do very well. Where we have run into issues is when we are trying to do something that the Seismic platform was not really created to do.

Large growing sales team with lots of content and updates is well suited to Seismic.

if the sales team is smaller and content is limited it's probably overkill.

I like that it doesn't take a large team to implement vs. other solutions, so if you have limited staff, its good. If you have a large team for sale enablement/content marketing, then perhaps a solution with lots of customizations may be worth looking at, although Seismic is very flexible.

If they could improve their search features then I think it could be useful. We have an internal database that some of our engineers created and it is generally extremely easy to use. I can always find what I'm looking for on our internal database. I have literally never been able to find what I'm looking for on Seismic through the search features. The only time it's useful is if one of my team members sends me the exact link I'm looking for. I would never recommend Seismic to anyone. Waste of time and waste of money.

Our entire sales and support team recently went through CES training that requires us to now put together materials like champion letters, sequence of events, etc. that all require customization. Seismic makes it way easier to pull these documents from a central place and edit them directly in the platform rather than having to re-create them every time on our own.

Seismic can work really well when you're looking for specific documents you can share with clients (think case studies, pricing sheets, other white papers, etc). It's great for tracking viewing on those attachments as well. It's sometimes too much hassle if you have an attachment already saved on your desktop - may not be worth the analytics and tracking if you can quickly send an attachment the old way.

We love to use Seismic for those time-consuming tasks that seem overwhelming because of the amount of customization required. Once the initial build has been accomplished, the task(s) become easy, quick, and painless. A tool like a yearly Open Enrollment Packet, that might take hours to create for each client, now only takes a matter of minutes. Seismic is a phenomenal tool, and we love finding new and more innovative uses for it.

Seismic is a phenomenal solution for digital content management, specific to enabling sales to be effective in getting the right content to the right person at the right time. That said, it will not, in itself align your sales and marketing organizations. Executive sponsorship at the highest levels is required to see efforts through. Regardless of how easy it is to use, sellers will push back if the organizational change management protocols are not put in place. This is also key for marketing leaders - you will need to make an investment in the training and administration side of Seismic to truly reap all of the benefits it provides. If your organization isn't willing to make those commitments, stick to SharePoint and DropBox, but know you're trading off the visibility you need to measure content effectiveness. It's worth the effort!
