Consensus - The Perfect Wingman

It has been great and the company truly listens to its customers and lets them dictate the roadmap.

PROS

Easy...the ability to track what the prospect has watched and where they have clicked back to rewatch. Then we are able to tailor a more specified demo to really focus on the prospects true interests.

CONS

Granted it is a robust piece of software, but that sometimes comes with the difficulty of navigating to the pertinent information the user is looking for.

Reason for choosing Consensus

The end user experience and data. We felt our prospects would be better suited using Consensus and the stats provided were much more detailed.

Consensus is a game changer for sales organizations

The business process that Consensus is really helps with is the ability to understand what the client is focusing on, and helping reference the value to the client. It's so impactful. I have saved so much time on demoing to clients, because they are able to watch a Consensus prior and have a greater understanding before the demo (live demo.) This allows the client to have a understanding walking into the live demo, and then they are able to focus on more niche or specific questions to get answers, and overall speed up their decision making process.

PROS

Everything about Consensus is amazing. The ability to customize what you are planning to import, and once you are creating a presentation is truly amazing. I love the ability to upload anything in concensus to be able to share with clients, and the ability to see what they have watched and receive an audit trail. It allows sales representatives to also see the product, and ensure they are actually reviewing the content. It helps relay the value of the product to clients for purchase, and sales representatives to allow understanding of the product.

CONS

I wish it was easier to send multiple Consensus demos/videos to the same client at once. I also wish I could send it to multiple people in the same client profile verse having to do it individually. However, once you send to one client then I am able to populate the client demographic information for other videos/demos.

Reason for choosing Consensus

Consensus has the ability to make the entire process much easier and streamlined than any other product. Webex was extremely limited, and Consensus allows for much more variety when creating, importing and generating content.

Very good with potential to be even better

PROS

I find Consensus to be a goodway of adding value within a sales cycle with certain customers that are either difficult to secure 1 to 1 time with, or that I don't yet have an extensive relationship build up with yet. Its also a very good way of further pre qualifying a customer before a more in depth demonstration.

CONS

The biggest challenge that i face with Consensus is engagement statistics. Now this can be broken down into several reasons, such as when i'm positioning a consensus demo in the sales cycle, the intro videos that i use, or even the customers that i'm targeting. None the less, if i can increase the engagement statistic i feel the tool will become essential.

The ultimate force multiplier

Great so far, and this is because of the 1:many impact using consensus can have with content across go to market teams. It's ease of use makes adoption of content creators high, and with the content in the library it is amazing to see the impact those pieces of content have on creating and advancing sales opportunities. Highly recommend!

PROS

-Ease up Upload new Videos -Ease of sharing with leads/contacts -Visibility to video consumption, real-time -Re-use across go to market teams -Fairly quick to learn / create first video

CONS

-limiting to share generically (as opposed to in context of a demo board). Would be nice to have a anonymous view mode. -video options a bit confusing at first (single vs standard vs advanced demos) -don't use the recording function much

Demo Library

We LOVE Consensus. We are a software company and more than 30% of our deals close without ever doing a demo because our prospects are able to see our software in Consensus and determine if it will work for them. This has greatly increased our sales velocity.

PROS

It has allowed us to build an extensive Demo Library that allows our prospects to determine if we are a good fit for what they are looking for.

CONS

The Dashboard could use some work. Hard to find older viewership data.

Reason for choosing Consensus

Consensus better fit what we were trying to accomplish. And we liked the Very Important, Somewhat Important, Not Important feature that allows our prospects to build out their own custom demo library.
