Overall Satisfaction with Conversica

Conversica is used within our business to ensure that no inbound leads fall through the cracks and that we can respond to any inquiries within our 7 minute SLA ensuring that we contact leads at a time when they're taking an active interest in our company and most likely to convert.
  • Allowed us to expand into other regions with their Spanish conversation which opened up new revenue opportunities
  • Ensures that leads never slip through the cracks, the AI assistant never forgets to send an email or follow up
  • Ensures that we can strike whilst the iron is hot. Within minutes any inbound leads are contacted by an AI assistant helping to increase conversion rates.
  • A little bit more flexibility with the conversations. Sometimes the assistant struggles if anything out of the ordinary is mentioned in the conversation.
  • Although persistency is a good thing, sometimes the assistant can be that little bit too persistent
  • Sometimes that assistant can jump the gun. The customer might just be asking for more information and she'll jump straight in to try and arrange a call.
  • Conversica has created us a lot more pipeline in new regions such as LATAM
  • All our inbound leads touch Conversica, so I guess you can say it has contributed to anything that we have closed that has come in via our website
  • It's definitely ensured that we've followed up on every potential opportunity
Our CSM is great and always willing to help us try new ideas. She's always aware of what's happening on our account and will point out anything abnormal. She's also constantly looking at ensuring that we're making the most of everything that Conversica has to offer. Even though they're out of my time zone, they accommodate it meaning that I don't have to work out of hours to get support.
The implementation went smoothly. The only advice I would give for anybody looking to integrate Conversica with Salesforce is to ensure that either you or somebody within your organization has experience with process builder as you'll need to create some processes to force your leads into Salesforce campaigns for the Conversica system to pick them up.
We looked at automating our first response to inbound leads using automated emails from a Salesloft cadence. It works for the first email but then you're relying on your sales reps to pick it up from there. Conversica has that tenacity and persistency to keep on going until the AI assistant gets a response from the lead.
Conversica is well suited if your MQL to SQL conversion is low because you're not following up on leads quickly enough or missing them entirely. The assistant automatically sends an email to any inbound inquiry within a defined time limit and they'll always chase the prospect until they get a response. Very suited to a SDR/BDR in it's infancy or organizations with no SDR/BDR team and only Account Execs who may miss leads.
