How does Salesforce High Velocity Sales Compare to Other Solutions In the Market?
Salesforce High Velocity Sales represents the company’s push back into the Sales Force Automation space against competing solutions like Outreach, SalesLoft and Xant.ai (formerly InsideSales.com). While Salesforce is still the largest player in this space, other entrants had focused more on the high velocity sales functionality like defined sales cadences for outbound dialing and email automation.
With Salesforce High Velocity Sales, Salesforce has a powerful and robust answer to these other off-platform companies in the sales automation space. Since the solution is later to market than others, it does not always have every bell & whistle you will find in competing sales automation platforms. While they have entered more recently with a solution, they have the full force of Salesforce ($120B+ market cap) behind it alongside best-in-class AI through Salesforce Einstein and continued acquisitions in the intelligence space such as the recent acquisition of Bonobo.ai in mid-2019.
Some of the core advantages of the Salesforce High Velocity Sales product over competing offerings:
- For Salesforce customers, Salesforce High Velocity Sales is on-platform and fully built into the Salesforce Sales Cloud experience. Other products like the ones mentioned above take your reps away from Salesforce and are competing for desktop and data ownership leaving your team and company in the middle to sort out integration and experience.
- Since Salesforce High Velocity Sales is on-platform and an add-on to Salesforce as opposed to an entirely new platform to live alongside Salesforce, the cost for High Velocity Sales is typically much more competitive than alternative solutions.
- Salesforce High Velocity Sales allows for integration with true CTI solutions like Tenfold as opposed to only providing embedded telephony via Twilio. The latter path has limited the above providers in their viability for enterprise organizations due to scalability and security concerns, as well as in global markets where these companies only support dialing in North America to other numbers in North America. This means that Salesforce High Velocity Sales when paired with a solution like Tenfold can scale for enterprise companies and enable sales force automation in international markets.
- Einstein has been praised as a best-in-class AI engine and is the basis for much of Salesforce’s go-forward product investment spanning communication channels and core CRM capabilities, as well as those of High Velocity Sales. Investing in HVS helps companies future-proof their investment knowing where Einstein is heading in the next 2-3 years. This would include soon-to-be-released features like Einstein Call Coaching.
Why is CTI a Critical Requirement for High Velocity Sales?
For any investment in Salesforce High Velocity Sales, CTI is a critical component to ensuring your sales team gets full value from the solution. Without integrated CTI, you will be relying on end users to manually log activities for every interaction. If a manual capture is missed, your customer will receive the same activity twice or more leading to unproductive sales efforts and poor customer experiences. Furthermore, integrated telephony (CTI) provides much more than just a completed task. Advanced CTI solutions like Tenfold can integrate much more data in a structured way including call metadata and voice recordings feeding Einstein predictive lead scoring and empowering Einstein Call Coaching for your sales team.
CTI solutions like Tenfold have also been proven at scale to increase productivity by automating otherwise manual activities during a sales conversation shaving upwards of 30 seconds per call through deep workflow compression. With voice making up more than 70% of outbound interactions for sales teams, CTI plays a huge role in driving the productivity savings that teams need and are looking for as they invest in High Velocity Sales.
