FAQ

There are several features these other sales automation applications on the market today don’t offer.

Examples:

Data:

Not all sales automation platforms offer contact data other than Sales Prophet and Apollo. Apollo has 40 million b2b contact records in the U.S. while Sales Prophet has 86 million. Sales Prophet will be expanding our database as soon as possible to over 700 million complete global contacts. The reality is when running sales automation campaigns, you only need 5 key attributes (In most cases). The most important attributes are Name, Email, Job Title, Company Name, Industry, Company Size and Location.

Other companies use third party apps like Phantombuster or Texau to scrape LinkedIn profiles to try and find that prospects contact information. In many cases you get a prospects personal email address vs. their work email and that’s is if these tools can find that information. emailing personal emails is risky often resulting in getting blacklisted. Also keep in mind LinkedIn is littered with spam traps which will also impact your deliverability.

Sales Prophet belongs to a data coop and our data is updated every month and includes data not found on LinkedIn. We don’t need to scrape any profiles, so our application is rather fast at searching ideal contacts.

Email Verification:

The applications above do not have an integrated email verification solution. Sales Prophet uses EmailOversight as our email verification solution. Since we give users unlimited to our data, we highly recommend you verify each list prior to use for better deliverability. We only charge .0025 an email which is about 25% of the typical cost to verify an email on the market. Our system only verifies emails that haven’t been verified in the last 90 days. If we find this timeline is giving our users poor results, we may shorten the timeline to 60 day or less. Today out of the 86 million records, we have verified 29 million.

More Control:

Sales Prophet gives you more control over how your emails are sent. If you have ever tried to send a lot of email to ideal prospects you know that getting those emails delivered can be very difficult. So, we give our users the ability to connect as many email accounts they want as well as the option to send out of email clients like G-suite, Microsoft 365, Zoho or by connecting to an SMTP provider of their choice. This allows our users to send larger volume of emails using multiple email accounts and subdomains.

Naturally you will want to be careful with large volume email sends but if you do run into deliverability issues, you can simply add a new subdomain and you are up and running. No need to buy a new platform, learn how to use that new platform, and move all of your digital assets to the new platform.

Improved Deliverability:

We have given our users the ability to turn open tracking and click tracking on or off. This is a big step towards getting your emails into the inbox. One strategy is to keep tracking turn on and run several test splits (We offer A/B/C test splits on all campaigns). Remember subject lines get emails opened, body copy or offer generate responses. After you run your tests, you can take the winning combination of subject lines and body copy, then turn tracking off for better deliverability and focus on reply rates vs. open and click rates.

Text-based Emails vs. HTML-based Emails

All of the sales automation platforms on the market today only give you the ability to send text emails in html format with very little images. Sales Prophet is one of the only (If not the only) platform with both sales automation and marketing automation capabilities.

The benefits are clear:

One less application to buy and learn.
We can send newsletters, mass email and sales sequences in HTML format giving your company a more professional appearance.

Our mass email engine offers advanced features like send throttling where you decide when and how emails are sent over a particular time period.

We also have a feature called auto-remail to non-openers after so many days. This feature is 100% guaranteed to increase the number of opens, clicks and responses to your campaigns.

It works like this. Lets say you want to send a mass email campaign to 25,000 ideal prospects promoting a new research study you just completed. (Demand Generation campaigns are ideal for mass email). You can schedule your campaign to send 5k emails a day for 5 days. (Spread the sends out across multiple days) and set a rule to automatically send the email again to non-openers after X number of days (User defined)

Account-based Email

Not only does Sales Prophet have one of the most sophisticated email platforms on the market, we also offer a patent pending Account-based email program.

Account-based marketing strategies have been all of rage for years now but these tactics usually require the use of expensive third party apps to manage.

Sales Prophet account-based email starts with pulling a list of ideal contacts you want to target at your top accounts. These prospects are usually your most high valued prospects and need to be treated as such. You don’t want to drop these high valued targets into a typical sales automaton sequence (1 to 1 email). Trust us, these prospects are being bombarded with typical sales automation messages every day.

Our account-based email gives you the ability to send a message to multiple people at the same time in the same email automatically (1 to many).
Simply address the email to the most senior person and copy two or three people/influencers who are generally involved in the buying or decision-making process when purchasing your products or services.

Sales Prophet makes it easy to send these powerful campaigns to your high value prospects. The results are staggering, and we have seen response rates increase as high as 500%

Web Forms

Since Sales Prophet had both Text-based and HTML based email capabilities, it only made sense to add web forms so our users can collect leads right from their website. You can create unlimited forms with Sales Prophet and drop anyone who fills out a form into any prebuilt sales or marketing sequences you like.

Cost

Most of the sales automation platforms charge you buy the number of users, email accounts or contacts/credits you add to your campaigns.

Sales Prophet data is unlimited. We also don’t charge you for adding extra users. We only charge you for adding additional email accounts if you are on a professional plan and its unlimited for agency subscribers. Agency partners can add as many accounts, users and email accounts they like for one low monthly fee.

Not only is Sales Prophet cheaper than other applications on the market today, but Sales Prophet is also the perfect combination of an easy-to-use sales and marketing automation platform with a complete CRM for managing opportunities and tasks.
