Collective[i] Reviews

I am able to see how companies have behaved in the past with other sellers, which gives me insight on who to talk to and who to avoid.

Nothing really, great tutorials and lots of bells and whistles

If you sell B2B you NEED this tool! Easy to use, very detailed, and provides you with details not found elsewhere. Easy integration with SFDC.

Identifying the Right Party Contact is our lifeblood, and this tool makes that very simple.

There is no better sales application on the market that allows teams to collaborate seamlessly to win deals and accelerate the time to close. With Collective[i] team meetings or 1 on1s were not about what has been done since last week, but solely focused on strategy for winnable deals and getting out of deals where success wasn't likely. As an individual contributor, I got back almost a whole day of selling time as Collective[i] eliminated countless update calls or meetings with superiors. Faster response times and approvals from internal teams was a pleasant surprise with using Collective[i]. As an experienced sales leader, I will never lead a team without it. Daily forecasts throughout the quarter and deal risk alerts allow you to manage the pipeline without waiting for a person to alert you of the issue. The newer feature of being able to invite people to collaborate on deals outside the organization is amazing. A friend of mine had just finished a successful POC with a company I just began an engagement with. I was able to invite him into my deal to collaborate on strategy for a successful POC on my end.

It would be great if the application incorporated a sales team's chosen methodology like MEDDIC, etc.

If you have never sold to an organization before, you are guessing about which opportunities you are most likely to win and how to allocate time and resources. Collective[i] eliminates that guesswork. The time I spent waiting for approvals from internal resources such as legal, sales operations, etc. was reduced significantly by allows us to all collaborate within the Collective[i] application.

I love that there is full transparency within the Collective[i] Tool. You can literally see where a deal is REALLY at, and not just where you think it is. It gives real-time updates and notifications instantly.

I don't have anything that I don't not like about this product

Sales and Business Analytic Processes

We did our due diligence with other AI companies and Collective[i] is unmatched. Game Changer! Our sales team enjoys the user-friendly experience, transparency throughout our pipeline and visibility. The deal room is a fantastic feature that allows everyone to be added and be on the same page automatically. Our productivity has skyrocketed because now we are provided with actionable information with our forecasts for any changes with our current deals.

No complaints. Our pain points and bottlenecks in our sales process have been identified thanks to Collective[i].

Forecasting and closing deals. Our CRM wasn't enough, and when we launched Collective[i] it provided valuable insight into every deal. Some of our deals can become complex and previously it was time-consuming trying to get everyone up to speed on a particular deal. Now, we are action-oriented and everyone involved can easily navigate throughout the dashboards in Collective[i].

I have been through my share of data cleansing, sfdc rebuilds and more but nothing ever accomplished this much, this fast with this much ease

Nothing really. Occasionally we'll lose a deal but that has nothing to do with Collective [i].

Much more Accurate Forecasting and better visibility into our opportunity pipeline

Before Collective[i] companies had to guess at which prospects might lead to a sale. They say: "We did not even realize that our process could be improved so much. I guess you don't know what you don't know. Now we are able to close deals so much faster and we look like a pro while doing it."

I have yet to find anything that we do not like about Collective[i]

No need to have to manually input notes from email, calendar etc..and Companies are often too busy to do a good job of that but now that information is added in a seamless fashion and our data is much more accurate.

I run a complex sales organization in the sales ops role. I listed what I like most after my 7 months of usage.

-So easy to get started, I simply granted access to the data sources we wanted to capture

-Launch was simple, interface was fast and easy to use

-Day one it found a ton of issues we had and lead us to solve them (our biggest one was opportunities with no buyers)

-by day two it cleaned up all our accounts, buyers and added missing people into all our opportunities

-By day three we had complete picture over the sales org.

I have been through my share of data cleansing, sfdc rebuilds and more but nothing ever accomplished this much, this fast with this much ease. Truly insane

Sales teams don't like CRM's but Sales Ops do. This can be a great solution unless your team is unwilling to use anything that does not show up on the CRM screen.

We overspent on CRM and the endless fight over rigor with the sales team. I personally fought putting Collective[i] in thinking that it would take away from our CRM. We had invested so much into CRM and our process that I did not think we could navigate another change.

In hindsight Collective[i] actually made my CRM investment worth it. It solved the fights over logging, synced from the CRM, and looped in key data that the CRM wasn’t catching. It also brought more people into the deal room without needing manage them in the CRM.

Our CRM was not giving us a command over our sales effort. Sales leadership was frustrated by lack of CRM usage despite carrot and stick to get sales people to use it.

Command and control over sales team happened overnight, the best forecast I have ever had with no work (we get an AI forecast daily now) and an improvement in close rates.

Everything in one place.

Deal rooms.

The community model.

A lot of new features. Keeping up can be a bit hard but I am told that will slow down.

This is a must have if you are in sales. This got rid of most of the spreadsheets and the deal rooms let me know what is actually happening in any deal.

We were trying to understand why the mid market was not growing the way the rest of our business was. The tool distilled everything from all the technologies we used in sales into meaningful insights and focused us on where we needed to look. This made it possible for us to log in and understand why we underperformed. Other tools give basic reports, with CI you get answers where you know what is going on.

Easy to use interface

Seamless integration with CRM

Total command of the business

Predictive forecasting

There is nothing that I dislike about this product

We started with forecasting but now it is all about being smarter than our competition, faster and with better outcomes. The application works better than we had anticipated.

I like the deal room the best because it is easy to add people to the deal.

I dislike having to explain the deal room to people

There are less in meetings come in person and people can know what is going on.
