Overall Satisfaction with 6sense

We use 6sense to identify the right accounts and focus our efforts to be both efficient and effective. On the marketing side, this means running a series of campaigns to a hyper-targeted set of accounts based on parameters such as buying stages, industry, topic of interest, etc. and matching the offering and language to the needs of those accounts. On the sales side, we use the data available to make sure sales is focused on the accounts most likely to open an opportunity so they aren't wasting time on accounts that simply aren't ready to talk to sales. Through the Sales Intelligence platform, they can also acquire contacts recommended by 6sense based on the intent data. Imagine if ZoomInfo's intent capabilities did CrossFit. That's Sales Intelligence.
  • Product support: They are constantly adding new features and innovating.
  • Customer success: Everyone who uses the platform internally is in a customer-facing role and there is a massive amount of self-service and regularly-scheduled live training available.
  • Orchestration: We are able to orchestrate account and content acquisition with ease to add Qualified accounts to our CRM and kick-start contact acquisition for sales.
  • Advertising: The advertising capabilities continue to grow. You can retarget individuals as well as run several different types of banner ad campaigns. They also recently added in-platform support to create LinkedIn campaigns.
  • I would love to see nested folders in the segment creation and campaign folder structures.
  • Our sales team would like to see a contact reporting hierarchy.
  • Please make it so we can export list names as a field into Salesforce or export a list to a campaign. Our sales team would like to be able to easily add their exported list to a Groove campaign. Alternatively, a Groove integration would be even better.
  • Higher meeting booking rates when using 6sense vs. MQLs.
Yes, 6sense helps accurately match anonymous signals. During my first RFP for 6sense, I had all vendors run a two-week account match test. 6sense outperformed all vendors in every region except EMEA. One vendor slightly outperformed 6sense in EMEA, but that same vendor woefully underperformed in every other region. Since then, 6sense has made significant efforts to improve their capabilities in EMEA. All vendors face the same issues with data in EMEA, so I am still confident in 6sense's account matching capabilities globally.
This is an interesting question. 6sense doesn't just help with these things, it literally tells me. TrustRadius wants 50-200 words, but it doesn't take 50-200 words to say "6sense puts all of this information right in front of my face."
In my experience, 6sense has better match rates. Match rates are the foundation of an ABM platform. If you can't identify the company, you can't tie the activity to it. All other features are pointless if you can't trust the account data. Aside from that, I think 6sense has better advertising capabilities than most. Demandbase comes closer in that regard, but 6sense has been expanding their advertising features since I last looked at Demandbase and the edge has to go to the company that had better match rates. In my opinion, 6sense Sales Intelligence is their competitor to ZoomInfo SalesOS and it blows ZoomInfo SalesOS out of the water.

Yes

Did implementation of 6sense go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy 6sense again?

Yes

I think 6sense is perfectly suited for a modern account-based program. Their CMO literally wrote the book on it. In my opinion, if you want to arm your marketers with the information they need to confidently educate your early-stage in-market ICP and support your sellers throughout the selling process, choose 6sense. The intelligence provided not only allows you to eliminate the common choke points associated with MQLs (low form fill rates and low MQL-SAL rates), it actually allows you to benefit from doing so.

I think if you want to enable your sellers to confidently focus their efforts on the accounts that matter, and give them the capability to find the right people at those accounts and speak to each account's needs, choose 6sense. If you have zero visibility into who in your incredibly large ICP is actually looking to buy right now, choose 6sense.
