How Consensus and TestBox Compare

Consensus

TestBox

Where it's used in the buying journey

Consensus can be used before a demo to qualify leads or shared with existing customers to help with upselling and expansion.

TestBox is best used during live sales demos or shared with prospects after a demo as a POC to let buyers experience your product.

How it works

Consensus lets you create workflows that guide prospects through a series of customized demo videos based on how the prospect answers questions in a step-by-step survey.

TestBox ingests AI-generated data directly into your live product and automatically simulates ongoing user activity. This means each instance is preconfigured with realistic data and functional integrations, allowing you to demonstrate or share a robust and fully functional version of your product.

Implementation

Demo videos and workflows in Consensus can be created with no engineering help.

Initial implementation of TestBox takes approximately 60 days, with 99% of the work done by the TestBox team.

Maintenance after product changes

When your product changes, new videos may need to be recorded to reflect your most up-to-date product.

Because TestBox uses your live product, changes to your product are automatically reflected and no ongoing maintenance is required.

Adding data

Your video demos will display whatever data was in the instance of your product that you recorded, so it's important to use PII-free environments or accounts when recording demos.

TestBox creates custom data templates and activity plans for your team during the implementation phase. These templates ensure you have the right amount and type of data within your demo and POC environments to tell a consistent, compelling value story that aligns with your sales narrative.

Personalization

Consensus uses workflows to personalize which videos leads see. Sales teams can set up questionnaires for leads to fill out, then serve different custom videos based on how a lead answers each question.

TestBox can create specific datasets for different personas, industries, and/or verticals during implementation. Then, AEs and SEs can select the appropriate demo experience before demoing or sharing a POC instance.

Integrations

Salesforce, Outlook, Gmail, Outreach, Chrome, Zapier, Eloqua, Salesloft, Homerun, Slack, G2, and Marketo

Out-of-the-box integrations include Salesforce, HubSpot, Marketo, and Slack. TestBox can also build any custom integrations you need during the implementation phase.
