Overall Satisfaction with Avention

Currently, Avention is being used by the Business Development department at my organization and it's used as a tool to confirm company details as well as be a resource for finding company information. It allows us to find contacts, company location, revenue, employee size, and ultimately cross reference it with other information.

Pros

  • Provides company information (HQ address & phone number, revenue, employee size)
  • Ability to build company lists
  • Ability to find contacts and research into industries
  • Understand competitors of an organization and reports specifically pertaining to that company

Cons

  • I wish there was a way that I could learn the full extent of what Avention has to offer. I was forced to learn it on my own which is fine because it is a user-friendly tool but without a training on it, I don't fully understand the capabilities it offers.
  • Include training videos or steps that identifies what you're trying to accomplish within the tool and how you can continue to benefit with Avention.
  • Positive: Avention has allowed me to find in-depth company information for sales opportunities which have led to winning deals.
I have used other resources on the Internet for company information but the credibility of Avention has always proven to be a better source. I have used Slack (Google extension) for building lists on LinkedIn for prospecting and that has been a good resource but for contacts but ultimately Avention is a great tool that I believe any sales organization can and should utilize.
I do not generate reports with Avention.
Avention is well suited when trying to find details about an organization. It provides great information into an organization and allows you to gauge your prospecting off of the information provided.
