What is Chili Piper?

Chili Piper is scheduling and routing software for B2B revenue teams. Its products help revenue teams increase their inbound conversion rates, increase customer satisfaction, and reach new levels of productivity.

The vendor states Companies like Twilio, Forrester, Spotify, and Gong use Chili Piper with the goal of increasing their inbound conversion rates, eliminating manual lead routing, and streamlining critical processes around meetings.

Chili Piper is more than just a booking link solution. For revenue teams that struggle with complex lead routing and slow inbound response times, Chili Piper is a scheduling solution that handles both routing and scheduling.

Chili Piper does not stop at simple round-robin routing, but integrates with the user's CRM to instantly qualify and route leads using segmentation data like industry, vertical, and account owner.

The Chili Piper scheduler integrates with any inbound web form. After submitting a form, inbound leads can be routed to the correct sales rep and given the option to book time on their calendar instantly.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our organization originally purchased Chili Piper to solely use the form concierge but we now use both the concierge and individual links for reps to book all their meetings with prospects. The meeting links we a benefit after we switched from Outreach.iO which had its own scheduling function to Gong Engage which does not. So it was great we could use a different tool we were already paying for.

Pros

  • Form concierge booking
  • Personalized meeting pages
  • CRM integration

Cons

  • The ux interface could be easier to navigate for admins
  • The set up or meeting types could be more intuitive, as an admin I have had to help our reps set this up a lot as they have gotten confused
  • Chili Piper can have certain words they use like booker assignee which could be better defined in the onboarding process for reps

Return on Investment

  • Increase in opps from form concierge
  • The meeting scheduling functionality is fine but not as easy to use as what we had with Outreach

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am on the web services team. We build websites for our clients. This job requires many meetings with multiple clients on a daily basis. It takes a lot of organization skills to keep all of our meetings in order. Chili Piper fills this role. Our ability to send invites, schedule meetings, and cancel meetings is highly effective with Chili Piper.

Pros

  • Creates links for our clients to schedule a meeting
  • Integrates good with my Outlook calendar
  • User experience is clear because I have never had a client say they could not figure Chili Piper out.

Cons

  • When Chili Piper goes down it can be stressful.
  • Creating a new meeting type is a bit complicated.
  • Blocking out time on the calendar is a little confusing at first.

Return on Investment

  • It makes scheduling more efficient.
  • Clients are able to use and understand Chili Piper.
  • Setting up unavailable time is a little confusing on setting up at first.

Pros

  • Quickly route sales leads
  • Immediately schedule meetings with sales
  • Faster handoff from SDR to sales team

Cons

  • Having only used it for a year there aren't any gaps I can see at this point
  • It did take us a while to implement and get it integrated but that could have been our procurement department more than anything on the Chili Piper end

Most Important Features

  • Scheduling meetings quickly
  • Passing off leads from marketing to sales
  • Speed Speed and more Speed

Return on Investment

  • The amount of meetings scheduled per rep went up across the board
  • More important than the amount of meetings scheduled was that, because the meetings were scheduled more quickly, the percent of no-shows to those meetings went down considerably

Pros

  • Chili Piper integrates with Salesforce very well which I haven't seen other calendar apps do yet.
