(1-25 of 128)Lighting up our funnel with 6sense data
- Improve pipeline quality
- Empower Sales/Marketing in actionable decisions
- Provide the deepest transparency in accounts
- Help create TAL Segments
- Integration via Outreach is great - but we need more folks at 6sense who can train/coach sellers on how to use it.
- 6sense dashboard can be overwhelming for leadership or newbies, a watered down version would be helpful for those who are not frequently in the weeds
Great way to find warmth
- They do a good job at tracking engagement with the different interactions an account has with your company.
- They can help you identify possible target personas and specific contacts.
- They also can help track your reach within an organization and help you determine if a customer is in a buying stage.
- They could provide more training materials
- Having more alerts or triggers of particular customer engagements would be nice.
Great intent and predictive marketing and sales tool.
- Integrated software that brings scoring directly to sales users.
- Intent insight that helps with content personalization.
- Account-based advertising.
- Skepticism on where the views/searches are coming from
- There are errors/glitches but they have great support to help.
- Can be slow at times.
- User experience in the Salesforce dashboard isn't as nice as the main interface.

6sense Review - One year into it
Generally speaking we wanted to:
1. Be able to better target advertising and marketing messages based on interest
2. Help sales more effectively approach colder accounts with information that would help them get net new customers
3. Begin working on a move to ABSM across the organization
- Unlimited keywords - our organizations target a LOT of things so allowing us to segment, group, and identify a lot of keywords is particularly useful.
- Provide insight to sales in a simplified manner - a few solutions we looked at the data was too hard to read or understand.
- Segmenting - allowing us to create data based on demographic, geographic, or intent data as well as model-based data is great.
- Onboarding - the team met with the right people at the right time and kept us all informed before launch.
- Sales Alerts - could provide more information, allow for more orgs to be identified, creating them based on keywords is beyond challenging as I cannot use keyword groups and instead must add each keyword manually.
- Geographic areas - would love to be able to provide one zip code for a segment and ask for a radius of 20,50, etc miles around it, or even just ask for the geographic area relative to a specific city (DC Metro area, as an example)
- RevCity/User Community - it's good and a nice start but the system doesn't provide reminders regularly to go check it out. Most of the posters tend to be 6sensers, and several questions can go unanswered.
6sense struggles a bit with our model, partially because we are focused at an organization-level rather than a solution-level. Our organization provides several solutions and creating a model for each one is not economically feasible. This is partly on us trying to have it be all things to all types of sellers, but also partly on the inability of the system to better identify all intent signals from key intent signals. If your organization provides a lot of different solutions it may be better to either not bother with the model (at first) or to focus the model on one specific offering or demographic set. The system could be better about data for contacts and organizations overall - a few instances of providing organizations that are not in our CRM but were actually just older domains for a company.
Best thing since sliced bread
- Segmentations
- ABM Marketing
- ABM Campaigns
- ABM Keywords and Intent
- AMB Digital Advertising
- Nothing I can think of
6sense is a marketer's dream!
- The "alert" system is great for our sales team, they get insights about their target accounts in their inbox daily!
- Reporting is easy to pull.
- The integrations with other tools (like SFDC) are great. The sales team can get all the info they need from the 6sense iframe in SFDC.
- A reporting dashboard would be nice!
If you like revenue, 6sense is for you.
- Product support: They are constantly adding new features and innovating.
- Customer success: Everyone who uses the platform internally is in a customer-facing role and there is a massive amount of self-service and regularly-scheduled live training available.
- Orchestration: We are able to orchestrate account and content acquisition with ease to add Qualified accounts to our CRM and kick-start contact acquisition for sales.
- Advertising: The advertising capabilities continue to grow. You can retarget individuals as well as run several different types of banner ad campaigns. They also recently added in-platform support to create LinkedIn campaigns.
- I would love to see nested folders in the segment creation and campaign folder structures.
- Our sales team would like to see a contact reporting hierarchy.
- Please make it so we can export list names as a field into Salesforce or export a list to a campaign. Our sales team would like to be able to easily add their exported list to a Groove campaign. Alternatively, a Groove integration would be even better.
I think if you want to enable your sellers to confidently focus their efforts on the accounts that matter, and give them the capability to find the right people at those accounts and speak to each account's needs, choose 6sense. If you have zero visibility into who in your incredibly large ICP is actually looking to buy right now, choose 6sense.
Great sales and marketing alignment and pipeline generation
- Intent data
- Sales information
- Audience building
- Campaign orchestration
- Reporting
- HubSpot integration
- Contact data acquisition
Scenarios where 6sense might not be appropriate: poor/limited tech stack or a team without a sales/marketing ops person, companies with medium deal size and slow deal velocity.
6sense is worth it!
- Intent keywords and interest signals
- De-anonymizing website traffic
- Launching digital campaigns
- Providing some baseline recommendations for account-level metrics
- Sometimes ads are rejected without clear reasons why
THE only ABM tool you should consider
- Keyword research and web visits
- Predictive analytics
- Data enrichment
- New SI a bit buggy
- Technographics not quite accurate
- Predictive analytcis would be better if it was slightly editable
- Contact recommendation editing
6sense does what it says!
- Predictive Data
- Banner Ads
- Reporting
- Training
- Notifications
- Further integrations
- Determine accounts that are currently active in the market and show a high likelihood of making a purchase.
- Exceptional customer success teams that offer assistance in problem-solving, offer innovative solutions and contribute to stakeholder discussions.
- Alert me when a company is searching a competitor
- Enhanced categorization for specialized target audiences.
- The rankings of the Buying Stage should not be influenced by users who opt out of receiving marketing emails.
- Improvements should be made to enhance the accuracy of data reporting within a user's sales territory on the 6Sense Dashboard.
Simply amazing
- 6sense's account-based orchestration capabilities are top-notch.
- 6sense's predictive analytics capabilities are incredibly powerful.
- 6sense seamlessly integrates with other marketing tools, such as Salesforce, Marketo, and Eloqua.
- Although 6sense integrates well with many marketing tools, there are some gaps in data integration with certain systems.
- While 6sense's user interface is user-friendly, the platform's capabilities are complex and may require additional training and onboarding for new users.
- While 6sense's dashboards and reports are customizable, there are limitations to the level of customization available.
- Linking the business with potential customers.
- Examining buyers behavior.
- Provision of market intelligence.
- I am impressed by the operation of all the features.
- The functionalities have suited our demands.
- I like the overall contribution of this platform in the company programs.
helpful but frustrating
- Ability to find in-market accounts
- Build out accounts with decision makers
- Finding contacts that have viewed or searched particular keywords or items on our website
- Often, the contacts that I acquire are no longer at the organization. As a user, I end up having to leverage our other tools (i.e., LinkedIn Sales Nav) to verify current employment status before reaching out.
- Often, hot accounts (6QAs) are triggered as 6QA status when they click on newsletters or marketing emails. This may be how we are set up within our organization but we need help prioritizing true "in-market accounts" vs just accounts who have clicked on our marketing emails.
- There needs to be a better way of prioritizing accounts within 6sense. Also, the "recommended actions" tab often does not load within my SFDC.
Great data, the worst UX/UI out there
- Marketing analytics
- Better filters for ad targeting
- If you don't use Salesforce, Hubspot, or Salesloft, you would have to do a lot of things manually. For some reason, in my experience, they don't let you use their API to enrich data if you don't use one of the CRMs mentioned, which makes no sense. In my opinion, their UX/UI is likely the worst I've ever seen, somewhere very close to SalesForce. A lot of things don't make any sense and those that do, still work unexpectedly sometimes. Like if you decide to upload a list of companies, you would have to specify which countries they operate in (no idea why), however, if you do this using the interface, you don't have to specify the countries, lol. All they do to help with this is provide an Excel file with Macros that do some matching of countries to company name and websites and output a huge list that you'll have to break up into pieces, because 6sense won't let you upload more than 25k lines. I feel this is likely the main reason they don't let you use the product prior to signing the contract. In my opinion, it's a terrible experience.
Makes “sense” for marketing and sales teams
- Provides intent data on in-market accounts
- The 6sense dashboard in Salesforce gives an at-a-glance look at marketing and sales activities by account
- Allows us to define segments for coordinated outreach across sales and marketing
- List building/segment creation is clunky. It takes awhile to load and duplicate segments.
- Some segments aren’t “out of the box” with other 3rd party platforms. This is more of a complaint with 3rd parties where they will say “yes you can build these segments in 6sense” but actually not much intent data comes back.
6sense - driving sales & marketing alignment!
- Platform is intuitive/easy to use within Salesforce
- Account team is really responsive, supportive and helpful
- Platform is intuitive/easy to use to run marketing campaigns
- Advertising campaign reporting within 6Sense platform (ability to see this across multiple audiences)
- Advertising campaign capabilities within 6Sense platform (ability to target/exclude multiple audiences or update audiences post campaign launch)
A must have for your marketing tech stack
- Identify accounts that are in-market and likely to buy
- Targeted outreach
- Fantastic customer success teams that help troubleshoot, provide creative solutions, and aid in stakeholder conversations
- Additional segmentation for niche audiences
- More in-platform functionality (Coming soon?)
Not sure how anyone prospects without this
Usage - daily email digest that tells the keyword searches (relevant to my industry) that indicate a company might be moving into a buying window so I know when to start reaching out with contextualized messaging based on what they are looking for.
- Email Digest with keywords being searched by target accounts
- Alert me when a company is searching a competitor
- Alert me who is searching industry-related terms during renewal to see other stakeholders/expansion opps
- Think this is more on our internal SFDC implementation, but we have so many garbage accounts that aren't helpful when 6sense says this is a hot account
- Not sure how accurate it is for small biz or if again this is just our implementation. Sometimes when 1 person in a 50-person company searches "chatbot" it puts the account in the decision phase.
Great tool to find new prospects and companies!
- Statistics on email opens and website visits
- Organization of decision makers at companies
- Reports on Intent activities of companies
- Users who unsubscribe to marketing emails should not improve Buying Stage rankings
- The 6Sense Dashboard in Salesforce should not be so clunky
- The 6Sense Dashboard should do better at accurately reporting data within a user's sales territory
6sense | Setting the Standard for TOF Visibility
- Customizable keywords
- Timeline View Iframe
- CRM integration
- Ad naming conventions/uploading
- Bulk changes
- Campaign Templates
Great Addition to Your Sales Team
- Organizes and prioritizes accounts
- Notifies us when a prospect is actively on our website
- Gives us talking points when calling a prospect because it will show what areas on our website they were on showing us their specific areas of interest
- Sometimes it is confusing because it will pull up accounts that are not in our name and so you have to sometimes sort through accounts that are not relevant to you
- It will still show prospects that have been disqualified
- It will sometimes some active customers that have bought already
6sense, predicting what could be
- Provide insight into my clients' searches and interests
- Keep me informed when clients are looking for an alternative provider
- I need all my information within my CRM
- I need to be able to customize my own key words instead of going to an admin
- Sometimes it's too much information
