PersistIQ
Chose PersistIQ
We decided on PersistIQ because it was cheaper than the incumbents and as we were starting we wanted to see if this would be helpful or relevant to us. We later discovered Apollo.io and we might switch to them as they are also cheap and look better, but we might also get back …
Chose PersistIQ
I've used both PersistIQ and Outreach in the past 2 years, so I feel my comparisons should still be fairly accurate. Persist is better for smaller, earlier stage companies looking for a cheaper and easy sales automation tool. Outreach is definitely the more powerful and …
Chose PersistIQ
Outreach has more features for email sending alone, along with other features that help with sales. It helps make it a more all-in-one platform rather than just an email tool. I feel that Persist IQ doesn't go far beyond a mass email tool.
Chose PersistIQ
PersistIQ is the simplest and most affordable of the solutions I compared it against. It just works for most use cases.
Chose PersistIQ
Compared to MailChimp, Persist IQ allows for more personalization, simpler emails, and more complete campaigns. Mailchimp is basically a tool for bulk email with heavy design.

Versus Marketo, PersistIQ is much more user friendly. You don't need to be an engineer or SQL master to …
Chose PersistIQ
I haven't used many other mass email tools, but when I was investigating, PersistIQ was a very good bang for the buck. They are a relatively small investment for the technology, compared to their competitors. I also love that I can always email or use the widget to reach …
Chose PersistIQ
MailChimp isn't for cold emails, it is used for newsletters, and I think that if we were to try our campaign on MailChimp they would shut our account down within a matter of hours without any chance of recovery. PersistIQ is clear about what they are supposed to be used for …
Chose PersistIQ
They provided a rational approach which did not prove true for us.

PersistIQ
Likelihood to Recommend
Probably ok if you really don't care who you are sending your outreach to. Really bad for anyone who cares about sending a specific message to a specific audience. Probably not great for clients who enjoy reliable communication, quality results, or actually receiving what you're paying for.

Pros
  • Integrates well with tools that work with LinkedIn Sales Navigator to scrap lead emails.
  • Makes it easy to manage large-scale cold email campaigns with 3+ steps.
  • When a prospect replies to an email, it doesn't send them any of the automated emails which allow me to follow-up with those warm leads correctly.

Cons
  • There are some issues with downloading reports. That is, some information is only available in-product and you cannot export these things.
  • Creating dynamic replies or steps in Persist isn't currently available.
  • Sometimes the Persist system doesn't catch errors in unfilled prospect fields. One must be check and be careful not to send these types of emails.

Usability
In my opinion, poor service, and in our experience, ignoring our advise on who our customers are.

Support Rating
Terrible; non-existent. Weeks without replies, and no improvements in 4 months.

Alternatives Considered
Compared to MailChimp, Persist IQ allows for more personalization, simpler emails, and more complete campaigns. MailChimp is basically a tool for bulk email with heavy design. Versus Marketo, PersistIQ is much more user friendly. You don't need to be an engineer or SQL master to use Persist. It's made for sales and marketing folks. Marketo is built for bigger teams with engineers and CRM experts. Marketo is better for nurture campaigns and automated email, plus database management and as a CRM. But Persist is a much lighter option and it's WAY cheaper. I've used the Gmail plug-in for HubSpot and their templates feature. It's not great for bulk email or building out campaigns, but it's nice to have canned messages right in Gmail. To use PersistIQ on the other hand, one must work directly in their system, not in Gmail, although replies and sent messages do go directly though the email provider.

Return on Investment
  • I have 100% closed multiple deals due to my outreach on PersistIQ.
  • Outside of closing deals, this has been a great tool for getting me in front of a lot of high profile clients.
  • I have easily paid for my license with PersistIQ in 8 months.
