Ambition vs. People.ai

Ambition is applicable to pretty much any sales organization. I believe it is well suited for younger generations like myself that enjoy the data as well as the competition. Any large sales team can benefit from this tool to maintain accountability and productivity. A less applicable use would be for a door-to-door or outside sales organization. This may not be as useful as it is primarily used to track daily dials, talk time, etc

I've been using People.ai for a bit now, and I've been consistently impressed. I use it to track how my team is doing, how my clients are doing, and how I'm doing. I can create custom dashboards with any metric I want to see. I can set goals, and they'll track my progress towards those goals. I can set up competitions between my team, and they'll tell me who's winning and who's losing. You can share these dashboards with your team, which means that everyone can see how everyone else is doing.

• Their Deal Room presents times when you are multi-threaded, engaged with executives, and have an upcoming meeting scheduled rather than stalking your reps calendar and salesforce activities.
• They allow you to create areas performance dashboard with custom KPIs you want to measure

• It can be a little hard to navigate different metrics that you are ranking people by but that's really minor.

• It's beneficial if we receive the report on a daily basis. I don't know if that is something to do with the settings. But for some reason, I am only getting it on a weekly or sometimes twice a week report.

They are always quick to answer any questions that you may have.

I have evaluated a few products similar to Ambition, at a high level. I have not used others. I implement Ambition at our office for one team, but I wasn't the only decision maker.

The easiest comparison would be to email automation vendors like a SalesLoft, Outreach, or Groove. But People.ai doesn't have a template email send like a sequence or cadence feature you would find with them. It is more of a compliment to the email automation vendors than a competitor in my opinion. We want our SDRs to have the ability run sizable outbound campaigns so they still use Outreach. However, we deactivated the Outreach activity sync and run activity syncing through People.ai. If someone gets added into the email CC, People.ai will grab that person and create them as a contact against the matching Salesforce account. For our Sales reps, we want them to have the ability to track opens, link clicks, and send templated emails so we have them use Groove. Again, we deactivated the Salesforce sync and use People.ai syncing. This is a great way to automate the pain away from creating Opportunity Contact Roles and create all relevant contacts in Salesforce from CC's on emails to people added last minute on a calendar invite. My favorite part is how it ingests data directly from Google and doesn't allow a Sales Rep to not to sync an activity to Salesforce, it happens automagically

• People.ai has helped our business meet and prove through data that we are improving our Sales Rep's time spent on selling activities, a key metric for our transformation. People.ai reduced the amount of manual entry required by the reps, giving back time, and the data capture was able to show that since turning on People.ai, the reps have jumped in their external engagement by 10%.
