Reviews of Consensus
The ultimate force multiplier
Comments: 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
Integral part of my daily processes
Comments: Consensus is a great tool that makes it easy to build and share a library of materials, from quick one-pagers to detailed presentations, all tailored for your prospects. It keeps everything organized in one place, so you can find and share the right content without any hassle.

Whether you’re sending something simple or more complex, Consensus helps you deliver it in a way that’s clear and effective. It’s a handy way to streamline your process and connect with your audience more confidently.
Pros:
Easy to create a vast library of informational videos Ability to quickly attach interactive video's to enrich the sales processes Track usage of prospect and gauge interaction
Cons:
Sometimes data entry can be redundant to create multiple videos for the same population
Share impactful demos with your prospects and customers
Pros:
It is very impactful to share guided demos with customers and prospects
Cons:
Sometimes it is not too easy to use when it comes to setup the demo before sending
Consensus has made my life so much easier
Comments: Overall, I use Consensus to easily share short demo videos with customers and I absolutely love it! Makes my life so much easier!
Pros:
Consensus is a great platform to share short demo videos with prospective customers! Super easy to use!
Cons:
Sometimes the Gmail integration is hit or miss, but besides that, it’s great
Reduce your Sales Cycles
Comments: I have used Consensus as a selling tool at a couple different companies. Being able to send recorded demos to my prospects has led to reduced sales cycle times in multiple instances. In my current role, I run around 2 demos per day that last close to 2 hours – if I’m not able to get to everything I want to show in one session, I used Consensus demos as follow up materials. I get notifications when someone starts to watch, which signals that it is a good time to give them a call.
Pros:
What I like most about Consensus is that it allows you to potentially shorten your sales time and avoid multiple live demo's by having pre-recorded demos to send your prospects
Cons:
I dont really have anything bad to say about Consensus, it is very user friendly
If you're not using Consensus... GET ON IT!
Comments: Overall the experience with Consensus has been nothing short of amazing!
Pros:
the ability to personalize outreach to prospects/customers via recorded video demonstrations of product features/functionality.
Cons:
the ability not to have "tags" for multi-demo recordings sent to prospects. (if 2 demos have been sent to view, there is no header tag to showcase which demo is for which feature).. We have to wait until the individuals click each recording link to then identify what they are viewing.
Powerful tool for organisations working with complex products
Comments: As a sales person it helps me both to educate my clients and myself on the recurring topics relevant to my organisation
Pros:
It saves my time and leverages my efforts
Cons:
There is nothing I would really change in the user experience
Great experience
Comments: Consensus fosters collaboration and shared ownership, leading to well-rounded decisions and stronger team alignment.
Pros:
Super useful and easy to use! Practical and expeditious.
Cons:
I find no significant disadvantages. In general it helps me a lot.
Consensus Review
Comments: From my perspective, Consensus has been a game-changer because it takes the pressure off having to schedule multiple demo calls. Instead, I can send personalized, interactive demo experiences directly to prospects and their teams, which gives them the power to explore the product at their own pace. This helps us qualify leads faster, spend more time with serious prospects, and ultimately shorten the sales cycle. It's a win-win for both us and our customers.
Pros:
Sending demo previews to engage additional stakeholders.
Cons:
I wish there was a way to send an automated email via consensus to remind prospects to view the demo
Grat for Sharing Demos
Pros:
Easy way to share curated demos with partners
Cons:
It's not super super easy to use, but not hard.
Quickly get up and running with a great demo automation solution!
Comments: We've had a great experience implementing and using the solution. Also have had a great experience with their CSMs and Support team.
Pros:
We were able to quickly get up and running with the solution and had our first demos sent to prospects within a couple days. We've received multiple compliments from recipients of our demos that they "like the way that was presented." The ability to see if the recipients are watching and sharing your demo is great!
Cons:
The user interface is not all that intuitive, but not too bad once you figure it out.
Maximizing the Customer Experience
Comments: As a solutions consultant to the sales team, it allowed me to free up my time with initial demos of product use cases while continuing to maximize the sales opportunity.
Pros:
The videos can be easily embedded into emails and help identify interested prospects and keep the customer engaged.
Cons:
Puts your competitors at an unfair disadvantage.
Consensus for the Win
Comments: Overall consensus has been nothing but helpful when it comes to the amount of time it has saved me, given that the library of videos is easily accessible.
Pros:
I think the best thing about Consensus is the fact that I can integrate it with Gmail and easily find what I need to share with my customers. The integration is great!
Cons:
I think customizing Demo Titles while in the integration was a bit harder than I expected. However, it was not the most difficult thing to figure out.
Consensus gives you more email engagement
Comments: I send Consensus videos all the time! This platform is easy to use and integrate into my daily routine and make emails more interesting for the receiver.
Pros:
I like that Consensus is easy to use whether is it on their website or within Salesforce. These demo videos make sending emails more fun!
Cons:
I don't like all of the options I have to fill in to send personalized demos, but I understand the necessity.
Great product, does what I need it to do
Pros:
The best thing about consensus is the integration with salesloft, the easy of use to be able to send a demoboard to a prospect immediately after getting off the phone with them is critical.
Cons:
Would like to put a disclaimer about this as I brought it to someones attention and there is a way around it, and I will have it fixed soon. But the way we have it currently set up we have to individually type in the prospects information and it can take a couple of minutes that are crucial when sending these videos out immediately after getting off the phone.

Easy To Use & Great Analytics
