Hifive | The Channel Unlocked **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 30, 2021 **What do you like best about Hifive?** The thing that makes Hifive valueable is that it brings your network with you, wherever you go (territory, company changes etc). Whether that be channel sellers, colleuges, friends, acquantances etc. Hifive allows me to easily get warm lead introduction into high value accounts in my patch. As I go through LinkedIn sales Nav, I often see connections that are connected with the decision makers in my patch. With one click I can send a very concise intro request into these accounts. My day is no longer spent customizing emails, texts, or calls for warm lead intros, but done in 1 click. I can get 10x the amount of warm lead introduction from Hifive compared to doing manually. **What do you dislike about Hifive?** Not much that I dislike, honestly. I guess one recommendation that I would have for the Hifive team would be for them to build more integrations into other CRMs outside of Salesforce and HubSpot. **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** Before using Hifive I'd have to get in touch with decision-makers via cold calls and cold email, which during the pandemic has become really difficult. Hifive allows me to find out where I have accounts that match up with my partner's accounts so I can find a strategic way in front of my target customers. Within 4 weeks of using Hifive I've already closed $25K, which is amazing. ### 2. Easy to use app that makes warm introductions a way smoother process **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** John C. | Co-Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 06, 2024 **What do you like best about Hifive?** Hifive saves me about 30 minutes every time I need to ask someone in my network for a warm introduction to a prospect. Referrals and warm intros are the highest converting lead source for sellers. However also take the most time & energy. Hifive makes this a breeze. **What do you dislike about Hifive?** Cant wait to see how this could work on top of SalesNav mobile. Love everything about that app and would love to use it in a mobile experience. **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** Asking people in your network takes a long time. You have to reach out to them, usually catch up for a bit, then make the ask for the intro. Then have to wait for them to do it, maybe follow up. Hifive speeds up this process. ### 3. Todays way to collaborate **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Geoff R. | Enterprise Territory Sales Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 06, 2024 **What do you like best about Hifive?** In a day and age of clouded (pun intended) connection based overlays, Hifive stands apart in the personalized connectivity that is managed intuitively (ie with ease) and actually works, so much so that it becomes an impressive tool to introduce as you walk through the process. **What do you dislike about Hifive?** More 3rd party integrations, particularly backend for HR management of global businesses to manage scale **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** Penetrating partner ecosystems was nearly impossible without a painful amount of industry schmooze events that are exhausting. Being able to skip the antiquated process and go straight to value delivery and areas to win speeds up the relationship building process drastically with quick wins. ### 4. Relationship-led GTM motion is the future and CoSell is what makes it happen! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Pramod R. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 15, 2023 **What do you like best about Hifive?** CoSell makes it super-easy to request introductions to relevant prospects from your network on LinkedIn. The user experience is SO smooth that I don't think I'll ever return to cold reach-outs again. The problem has two parts - identifying who from your network can give you that intro and drafting the forwardable note. CoSell tackles both steps, while most other tools solve only the first part well. This is the way! **What do you dislike about Hifive?** Nothing much. The team is super responsive, open to ideas, and shipping amazing features. Would love to see a plugin within Gmail as well, which I'm sure is in the pipeline. **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** CoSell is helping us scale our outbound with a more relationship-based approach vs spray-and-pray cold outreach. A healthy chunk of our customers have come through referrals, and CoSell helps scale this even further. ### 5. Tap into future of network lead sales **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alexander S. | Advisor | Process and Systems Automation, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 20, 2023 **What do you like best about Hifive?** Ability to collaboarat and drive co-sell opportunity with known peers and greater credibility with our clients **What do you dislike about Hifive?** The product has much more room to grow and while the current features are light they are directly focused on the function they intend to do, with hopefully more advanced features and integrations to come in next product update **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** Ease of coselling and increasing speed for getting introductions to the right people through my existing/2nd degree network - as someone who's been involved in partnerships through co-sell/GTM first (vs. historically run via channel) I'm looking forward to see how this application evolves with more demand and trust being put on network and partner-led growth over longer cycle that direct sales efforts take ### 6. Easiest way to use your network as super-connectors! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 19, 2023 **What do you like best about Hifive?** Hifive gives me a super easy way to tap into the network of my peers and audience on Linkedin while simpifying th entire process around getting connected to folks through simple-to-use templates. The support from the HiFive team has also been incredible. **What do you dislike about Hifive?** Currently only leveraging Linkedin which is the most important for me, but excited to see how they tap into other networks/communities down the road. **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** Getting introduced to potential buyers and users of our product ### 7. Sales Tech Consultant **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Felix F. | Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 23, 2023 **What do you like best about Hifive?** Makes it super easy to leverage your network to drive growth **What do you dislike about Hifive?** Nothing so far! Its a great tool in your engagment arsenal. **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** It allows me to easily tap into my network to get intros to prospects ### 8. A powerful tool to leverage your network for sales, fundraising and more **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sudhama B. | Founder, CEO@TheTrackApp, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 28, 2023 **What do you like best about Hifive?** it's really focused on leveraging one of the most powerful growth channels one can have - your professional network, especially on LinkedIn. I specially love this idea of a preferred connector. **What do you dislike about Hifive?** Absolutlely nothing! its a great product and it's the missing piece of our growth puzzle **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's helping me systematically leverage my network for finding prospects and also potential investors. The great thing is that it's very aligned to LinkedIn which is what we've been looking for. ### 9. This product has changed my life. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bill O. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 26, 2023 **What do you like best about Hifive?** This service has taken my personal and professional relationships to the next level. Hifive came recommended to me by a friend and now I've been referring it to friends. **What do you dislike about Hifive?** Not a lot to dislike. I'd say I wish I could use a Hifive with Twitter to get intros to people in Pr for my business. That would be an awesome addition for sure. **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have a business that I've wanted to get press for and have been using Hifive to reach editors and what not. It's worked super well. ### 10. The CoSell tool is perfect for sales teams who want to leverage LinkedIn for lead generation. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Samer B. | President, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 13, 2023 **What do you like best about Hifive?** I love working with the team at CoSell. They take all of your suggestions and add them to the roadmap! Love working with nibmle startups. **What do you dislike about Hifive?** Not Much. The product is new so every once in a while, you may run in to a small issue but the team is right there to help fix it. **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** CoSell helps us manage the Lead Flow Process ### 11. The best tool for generating new deals through relationships **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tyler T. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 26, 2023 **What do you like best about Hifive?** I leverage Hifive to reach potential investors and buyers. It is a great way to network when looking for jobs, partners, or industry leaders. **What do you dislike about Hifive?** The support has been good but not great. I'd also like them to unlock more features **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** Normally I'd have to do all of the work in email, slack and a spreadsheet. This allows for me to do more with less in one platform ### 12. Easy and Valuable **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Gary K. | Co-founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 14, 2023 **What do you like best about Hifive?** It was easy to onboard and use the product fast **What do you dislike about Hifive?** Took a minute to verify the emails of all users I wanted introductions to. I'm assuming that will get faster over time. **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** Introductions in a fast and easy way ### 13. Hyper-boosts our ROI w Advisory team **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Collin S. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 17, 2023 **What do you like best about Hifive?** How it keeps track of all my outbound intro requests **What do you dislike about Hifive?** Nothing thus far. I know they're a younger company yet their product is solid. **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** First off accessibility into my network's network can be difficult. Second, it's tough to keep track of intros. Hi5 makes all this simple ### 14. Super helpful platform! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kelly r. | Strategic Account Executive **Reviewed Date:** January 04, 2023 **What do you like best about Hifive?** I think most salespeople see the writing on the wall that the ways to reach prospects (phone, email, and LinkedIn) have become so incredibly noisy. These days I am very lucky to get a response. What CoSell allows me to do is uncover relationships that I can leverage to get introductions to prospects and customers. Then the system automates a lot of the introduction flow, so I don’t have to spend a ton of time requesting the intro, writing the forwardable email, and then having to track and manage. It’s been one of the coolest tools I have come across, and I am not sure why everyone on the planet isn’t already using it. **What do you dislike about Hifive?** I think the team is great (based on the onboarding call I had). I think there’s still some functionality in the product that could be improved, but I feel like it’s nothing major. One feature that I have been asking for has been an email extension so I don’t have to jump into the platform often. **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** The problem that Cosell is solving for me today is providing me with a new channel that most people are utilizing in any operationalized way today. I can reach my target prospects much faster than prior, and I am just getting started using the platform. Prior to using CoSell I would have to find “who knows who” on LinkedIn, leave LinkedIn send the intro request over email, and then go back and forth with the 1st degree connection to actually get the intro done. No all I have to do is request the intro on one platform, and the intro is tracked and managed all within CoSell. ### 15. CEO **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chad R. | EMBLAZE UTAH Chapter President, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 18, 2023 **What do you like best about Hifive?** I'm amazed at how simple and efficient it is to get introductions at all phases of the pipeline cycle.... and beyond! Targeting an ICP Persona has been revolutionized with this tool. Amazing job by CoSell to put this together! **What do you dislike about Hifive?** I don't have any complaints! It's an excellent tool! **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** This helps you stop the loss of time wasted on trying to identify those that can help you in deals and manage the entire process seemlessly! ### 16. Connecting has never been easier **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Aryan P. | Growth Associate, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 22, 2023 **What do you like best about Hifive?** CoSell has helped me connect with the right decision maker and the best thing is its ease of use **What do you dislike about Hifive?** nothing to be honest - the cosell team has done a great job in the early stages **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have just started cold prospecting and was having difficulty connecting with the right POCs. Cosell has made it easy for me to make conections and make it look personalised. ### 17. Our entire sales team is on CoSell, and they swear by it. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Matt A. | Director of Sales, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 10, 2022 **What do you like best about Hifive?** CoSell has expanded our customer base and helped us connect with the right decision maker, which otherwise is a very difficult and tedious process. **What do you dislike about Hifive?** We’ve achieved ROI within the first few months itself - so naturally there is nothing to complain about. **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** Generating referral-sourced opportunities has always been a challenge for us. With Hubs in CoSell, we’ve unlocked thousands of potential customers and we’re fully equipped to establish trusted relationships with them. We’re really happy that we are a part of this niche community. ### 18. The fastest way to get meetings with target accounts **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 05, 2021 **What do you like best about Hifive?** We have been using the traditional methods to source meetings, but have realized they're not as effective for getting access to top tier accounts. A warm referral from an influencer on the platform results in instant access and a better outcome in a strong majority of our deals. **What do you dislike about Hifive?** The product is early days, but that’s ok. We view the value as the referrals into target accounts, and CoSell makes it easy when the product doesn't support something. I have put in a couple of feature requests to the team, and they have been very responsive and helpful. **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** The problem we are solving with CoSell is high quality lead generation. We know that blind emails to cold prospects continue to have diminishing returns and the top tier accounts never respond. Referrals are the way to go, hands down, and CoSell helps us get more referrals than any other source. We're new on the platform, but have already added top tier accounts to our pipeline and customer list that we wouldn't have without them. ### 19. Intros to close more deals **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ross R. | Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 15, 2021 **What do you like best about Hifive?** I really like how we can get a list of accounts that we can get walked into via the CoSell Sales Hub. We normally have to fish through LinkedIn to surface these types of referrals, but with CoSell we can see them in a glance and request introductions in a couple of clicks. I see it being one of the faster avenues to revenue for us, and we are excited to dive in deeper over the next couple of months. **What do you dislike about Hifive?** I wish the product had a native integration with Salesforce so we could easily attribute referral sourced revenue. We put in this request and we are hoping it’s built fast. **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** Winning more deals for our high growth startup. With CoSell we can get a view on where we can leverage CoSell Hubs, and our investors networks to drive referrals into accounts. ### 20. Instant ROI - a much needed platform **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Evan H. | CRO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 29, 2021 **What do you like best about Hifive?** Literally within 5 minutes of using the platform I found a key prospect of ours that was a customer of a partners, the partner made the intro, and I set up a intro call with this key prospect. That's pretty darn close to INSTANT ROI. CoSell is a brilliant platform to organize your co-selling efforts with your partners. It takes the manual work out of collaborating with your partners, and lets you jump instantly to finding shared prospects/customers and making intros. **What do you dislike about Hifive?** Nothing - obviously early in their product journey, but even what's there now makes a huge impact, and their product roadmap looks epic **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** Normally coselling relationships with partners fizzle shortly after they are started. There's a lot of excitement early, but then comes some manual, tactical work of sharing customer lists in google docs, comparing line by line, thinking about copy, asking a bunch of people if it's a good time to intro - and a lot of time it just never happens b/c that manual work barrier is too high. CoSell streamlines this process and enables you to cut straight to the valuable action - getting introduced to your key prospect. This is hugely motivating for both partners, and really makes you want to invest in the partnership. ### 21. Is literally my secret weapon for driving new leads **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Elliot T. | Account Executive - Network Team, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 12, 2021 **What do you like best about Hifive?** I am connected to the CoSell Marketing hub, and it’s been a game changer for me. I’ve received warm referrals into some of my top accounts. There’s no better way to drive referrals in my opinion. My existing outbound strategy of cold email and calling is something I do, but I’d say that I’m now filling up nearly 20% of my top-of-funnel via CoSell. Super excited to see what the team builds next! **What do you dislike about Hifive?** Not a whole lot that I “dislike”, however I wish there were more ways to track and measure my referrals with my co-selling partners inside the CoSell Marketing Hub. The team mentioned that they will be coming out with this soon, but it can’t happen fast enough. **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** I’ve been cold prospecting in my career for a long time. I’ve found that the existing prospecting channels that I used to depend on are becoming harder and harder to drive results through. CoSell seems to be solving this pain point. The only alternative is LinkedIn for referral selling, but even LinkedIn has become super noisy. The main benefit I have received is that I am able to book so many more meetings as a result of using CoSell. ### 22. 3X the partner sourced revenue - loving CoSell! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Zach R. | Director of Construction & Real Estate Development, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 24, 2021 **What do you like best about Hifive?** I love CoSell because in my line of business referrals are everything, and being able to drive more of them has a dramatic impact on my business. Before CoSell I was constantly looking on LinkedIn trying to find mutual connections to drive warm intros, but had varying success. CoSell helps me scale warm introductions with my trusted partners in a way that is super fast and easy. I have 6 partners on CoSell, and am loving it. **What do you dislike about Hifive?** There's really not a whole lot that I dislike. I guess one thing that could be improved is that I wish I could discover more partners that are on the platform already. I've had to invite all of them. **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** The problem with prospecting these days is that just about every single change has become dried up. It's sad really. I rarely ever get a response from any sort of cold outreach. CoSell helps me team up with other orgs that are targeting the same buyer as I am, and find out where there's account overlap. Once I understand where our accounts overlap then I can request intros where it makes sense. I must say that we have already 3x-ed our partner sourced revenue goal and we still have nearly 8 months left in the year. ### 23. Excellent sales tool - excited to grow together with my startup! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sam D. | Solution Outcome Advisor , Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 08, 2021 **What do you like best about Hifive?** I am selling into IT/Security and the traditional ways of reaching these prospects isn’t as effective as it once was. Getting in touch with these decision makers through warm referrals through the investors, advisors, and partners that I am connected with makes all the difference. CoSell makes referral selling nearly 20X easier, in my opinion. **What do you dislike about Hifive?** I wish CoSell was SOC2. We had a hold up with our security team, which slowed down my ability to get CoSell, but I heard that they are in the process of getting SOC2, which should open up my use of CoSell with our key partners. Other than that, there’s not a whole lot to complain about. **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** The main problems I am solving with CoSell are: -The ability to see where I can leverage a partner, coseller, advisor, or investor in my targeting prospecting. -The ability to find new partners already on the CoSell network. -The ability to generate referrals into my target accounts in the easiest way possible. For me, I have some deals in the pipeline as a result of using CoSell, and I am excited to dig in deeper as I add more partners. ### 24. CoSell has opened up doors into key accounts **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jason F. | Executive for Strategic Accounts and OEM Partnerships, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 31, 2021 **What do you like best about Hifive?** I think of CoSell sort of like LinkedIn, but better. Prior to discovering CoSell I would use LinkedIn to find out where I had common connections with prospects to request warm introductions. This was effective but time-consuming because the strength of LinkedIn connections can often vary. With CoSell, I am able to find out where I can leverage common connections (partners) to get introduced to prospects / potential customers. There is an alignment that I have with the partners requesting a warm introduction really works, and my success rate has been through the roof. **What do you dislike about Hifive?** There are a lot of my partners on CoSell, but I wish there were more. Personally, I have onboarded about 5 or so. Some partners have been reluctant to use CoSell because of data privacy concerns. I imagine that they will eventually come around, but until then, I guess I'll just have to wait. **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** Similar to what I mentioned above, I am able to break into accounts at a much faster clip with CoSell versus other tools like LinkedIn. Also, getting partners aligned without CoSell is nearly impossible in my experience. Prior to using CoSell I would meet with partners and we would "talk a big game" about how we were going to help each other break into accounts, but then the whole strategy would fall right on its face because there was no software to manage it! The main benefit that I have realized is that I am able to break into accounts faster, and close deals at a higher conversion. I'd recommend CoSell to any sales team looking for a new and innovative way of breaking into accounts. ### 25. The best partner co-selling tool that I wished existed 10 years ago! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Colin S. | Territory Sales Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 26, 2021 **What do you like best about Hifive?** I sell through partners in every deal that I work, and CoSell has made the account mapping experience a couple of clicks versus countless hours of working inside of spreadsheets. It's also helped me discover new opportunities that I didn't know existed. I'm a huge fan of the product, and I've already gotten a big chunk of my team on CoSell. **What do you dislike about Hifive?** Honestly, there isn't much that I dislike. There is a couple of things that I would improve around the Salesforce integration and speed of the site, but other than that I am a fan. **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** The main problem I am saving with CoSell and partner-overlap discovery. Again, this can be done on a spreadsheet, but it takes hours, while with CoSell it takes minutes. Also, the data often becomes quite stale, but with CoSell I am always in the know when reps change territories and new overlap data appears. ### 26. Warm introductions are powerful and this tool is drastically changing the outbound sales motion! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Cat O. | Account Executive, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 19, 2021 **What do you like best about Hifive?** I love how easy the platform was to get started. Within a few minutes, I was finding partners that could introduce me to my priority accounts. Prior to using CoSell I was using LinkedIn and email, for the majority of my outbound efforts. Today, I am connected with 6 partners on CoSell with overlaps. I also like how I don't need to leave cosell and can use the network as my single place of truth for all partner-related activities. **What do you dislike about Hifive?** There are few bugs in the system that I know that the team is working out. I am really excited about the future of the product as I know that the team has me on their beta version and are still working through some of the kinks. **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** The problem I have solved is that I can use cosell as a place to manage all of my partner activity. Today, we use salesforce, drift, teams, and other software to manage partners, but all of these systems are separate, which means that all partner activity is separate. I also view CoSell as a new way to drive my existing deals forward and as a way to find net new deals. ### 27. Huge fan, and they are just getting started! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Grace L. | Partnerships Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 14, 2021 **What do you like best about Hifive?** I love how we can discover where our prospective customers can be matched up against our partner's customers with in the matter of a few clicks. Prior to using CoSell we had to do this type of account mapping using spreadsheets, which would literally take my team hours for each partner. We expect to at least triple our partner sourced revenue by the end of 2021. I love the support I have also received from the team. We are currently on their CSV version, which they are beta testing with our team. **What do you dislike about Hifive?** I think there are a couple of features that I'd love to see CoSell build. For instance, I'd like to get the rest of my sales team on the network as well, so if there was a way for me to invite them that would be a huge plus. **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** Not only are we saving a ton of time with knowing where we have account overlaps with our partners, but we are seriously able to uncover new partner sales opportunities that we were not able to uncover before. This is a massive win for us today, and I see it only improving in the future. ### 28. It's the best thing that's happened to my sales team **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 04, 2021 **What do you like best about Hifive?** As a startup, we are in the early days of starting our partner program. That said, we have been trying to determine which partners we should partner with. CoSell has made this whole partner discovery process super easy. We uploaded our target prospects and existing customers to CoSell, chose our ideal customer profile and then found partners that might be a good fit. After connecting with a couple of partners, we started to see overlapping accounts, of which, we have been requesting introductions into target accounts. We're setting more quality meetings faster, and our partner program is really starting to grow. **What do you dislike about Hifive?** I know CoSell is a bit earlier, so we ran into a few product bugs, but the team was super responsive and fixed them right away. We also put in a few requests on how to make the warm introduction flow much smoother. We are hoping that this gets added quickly. **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are solving a couple of problems with CoSell. The first is partner discovery and determining who to partner with. The second problem that we are solving with CoSell is breaking into net new accounts via partners-- the platform makes this very easy and seamless. ### 29. Very helpful in finding common customer/user overlap. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Brian F. | Book Author, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 02, 2021 **What do you like best about Hifive?** We started using Cosell about a month ago, and it's been very helpful in finding common customer/user overlap with our partners. Given that my company sells B2C, CoSell allows for us to perform customer and user comparisons with other partners so we can do co-marketing initiatives (i.e. digital ad campaigns, email marketing, webinars, and events). The team was very helpful in helping us get set up, and we are excited to continue to use Cosell for these types of partnership campaigns. **What do you dislike about Hifive?** Not much, honestly. I think that the product has a little ways to go before we can roll it out with all of our partners, but I know that the team will be able to pull it off and build a really big, great company. **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** Before using CoSell we really never thought about setting up joint marketing campaigns with our partners, but once we realized the power of this, after speaking with the CoSell team, it totally opened up my eyes to the possibilities of greatly expanding our market reach. The product is fairly easy to use, and we will continue to use CoSell for a long time. The problem it solves is that for a startup like us, figuring out new and innovative ways to reach our customers is always a big deal and CoSell helps us get there. ### 30. Our demand gen secret weapon **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jake B. | Co-Founder & COO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 18, 2020 **What do you like best about Hifive?** Honestly, I love everything about CoSell. It kind of reminds me of LinkedIn, but specific to sales partnerships. Since using CoSell we've have been able to discover some net new opportunities via partners that we wouldn't have discovered initially. We are really excited about where the product is going and eager to continue to invite partners to CoSell. Also, from a UX perspective, I love the experience of using the app. It's simple and easy to get started. The team has also been very supportive in introducing us to new partners that we should be speaking with. **What do you dislike about Hifive?** Honestly, there isn't much. I think initially we can into a couple of small software bugs, but those have since been fixed. We've been in constant communication with the founders, which has been great. **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** The fundamental problem that CoSell solves is the discovery of net new sales opportunities. Getting through to our target customers has become harder over the last few years, and cosell seems to be tapping into an unmet pain point of being able to get referrals through our partner network. We look to partners as a new avenue to grow, quickly, and are excited about the future growth as a result of using a platform like CoSell. ### 31. Huge fan of what CoSell has built, and recommended it to my friends **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2021 **What do you like best about Hifive?** I love the ease of use of CoSell. It's built in automation helps to discover account overlap with the partners that I manage and with the tech alliances that matter to me. Prior to using the platform, I was getting lost in the amount of google sheets that i had to share and keep track of. Making valuable sense of all that data became very cumbersome. In just a few months, CoSell has already helped to create a handful of new partner sales opportunities. **What do you dislike about Hifive?** I wish there was some sort of chat where I could communicate with my partners/connections inside of CoSell. After I use the platform to find overlaps, I then have to go offline to communicate with partners. This makes it hard to manage and track all partner-sourced deals. **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** The main problem that CoSell solves is the ability to easily find overlapping prospect and customer accounts with partners/tech alliances. Again, before CoSell I was having to spend hours doing the account mapping with partners. Often times this was just a waste of time with no real committed follow up. With the CoSell platform, I can easily surface prospect and customer overlap with a few clicks across all of my partners. It also is a centralized place for me to manage all of my partners, which is huge. ### 32. It's like using LinkedIn for sales, but much better **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 18, 2021 **What do you like best about Hifive?** My sales team just started using CoSell, and we are seeing a ton of amazing results from it. For example, we have already gotten introduced into two key Fortune 500 accounts that we have been desperately trying to get into for a really long time. We found that one of our strategic partners already had relationships at these accounts and within a few days we had meetings scheduled. I truly believe in the product and vision, and I am really eager to get the rest of my team on CoSell. The CoSell team has also been great. I had some CSV upload issues and they were very helpful in getting me set up right away! **What do you dislike about Hifive?** I still think that the product has a little way to go when it comes to reporting and analytics. I'd like to be able to easily track all referrals and partners, but that is still a bit of a cumbersome issue. **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are solving the issue of getting in front of the best accounts. Covid-19 has actually made this process pretty difficult for us. A warm introduction into a key account is so critical, and CoSell makes this easier. ### 33. Not sure how we survived before CoSell **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 17, 2021 **What do you like best about Hifive?** We use CoSell for account mapping with our existing partners to find out where we have overlapping customers and prospects. Before using CoSell we had a slack channel with all of our partners, and there was a ton of back and forth. Before slack, we were using email with partners, and all of the knowledge of who owned which account on our side and the partner's side was literally a black hole. I think CoSell is striking a nerve with my team because of all of the time we've been saving. I recently invited the rest of my executive team and sales team to CoSell. Our executive team is more curious in the data and co-selling day to day activities, while our sales team is most interested in knowing which partner they can leverage in certain key deals. **What do you dislike about Hifive?** I think the CoSell team has been very responsive to our support needs, but we have seen a few bugs in the product. They were able to get them fixed right away, which has been great. **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** The problem we are solving is the account mapping problem, which again we would use slack mostly to solve. It was a lot of guessing and checking with partners, which would take hours, sometimes days to hear back on. We have already found that we have saved countless hours because we can find all of the overlapping data in one centralized place. We haven't closed any new deals as a result of signing up with them, but I am confident that we will in the coming months. ### 34. Seeing the value in CoSell, and recommending to friends **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 27, 2021 **What do you like best about Hifive?** I really like CoSell's ease of use, and focus on sales reps. At the end of the day, in sales, it's all about pipeline generation and revenue. CoSell helps me do both. It's the best tool I've seen in sales for a very long time. Understanding where my target accounts overlap with a partner's accounts is extremely valuable. If I can close one or two deals a year via leveraging your partner relations this can be huge for mosy companies. **What do you dislike about Hifive?** Needs chrome extension that would allow for discovering when overlaps exist when I visit company sites, LinkedIn profiles or CRM opportunities. The founder at CoSell said they are working on building it, and I am excited to test it out. **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** The problem that CoSell solves ultimately that it allows me to sell more via my partners. Tactically, it allows for me the relationship intelligence in my key accounts allowing for me to sell faster. I have already closed a deal from a partner intro that I recieved a couple of months ago. I am sure as the CoSell network grows that we will continue to see more wins! ### 35. Strengthen Partnership; Set Up Partner Sales Channel Faster **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rick T. | Associate Director Channel Partnership, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 17, 2021 **What do you like best about Hifive?** The overall ease of use and set up. Within a few clicks, we were able to identify new opportunities that overlapped with our partners. This is a great way to quickly scale partner sales. We are excited about further looking at ways to build out co-marketing activities based on the early traction supported by CoSell. **What do you dislike about Hifive?** The product certainly continues to evolve. Any bugs that we've encountered, the CoSell team has been able to resolve. **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** Account mapping has always been an arduous task. CoSell makes it much easier. ### 36. Led to a $96k deal **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mike M. | Chief Executive Officer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 02, 2021 **What do you like best about Hifive?** CoSell gives you a new way of collaborating on deals and intros, both with folks who would be working with anyway, and with new connections you might not have thought about initially. **What do you dislike about Hifive?** CoSell is a specialized product, so it's not as full featured as something like Salesforce. You'll want to use it in conjunction with your CRM, not as a replacement. **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** Like anything in sales, quantifying the power of a warm introduction can be more of an art than a science. That said, last month, CoSell was indirectly responsible for $96,000 of revenue at my business. ### 37. Saves us a ton of time **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 17, 2021 **What do you like best about Hifive?** So easy to see where there is hanging fruit (account overlaps) where our complimentary and top CoSeller can go-to-market and make introductions. **What do you dislike about Hifive?** They are early so it would be nice to have capability for team management so we can bring in more of our account executives and account managers. **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** - Account mapping with Partners, - CoSelling and seeking introductions easier and faster, - Centralizing our CoSelling efforts ### 38. Co-Sell 100% **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Wholesale | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 15, 2021 **What do you like best about Hifive?** Co-sell is easy to use and solve a problem we have been working on for years. **What do you dislike about Hifive?** Relatively new product. Should grow quickly and solve this. **What problems is Hifive solving and how is that benefiting you?** Connecting with other account owners. ## Hifive Discussions - [What is CoSell used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-cosell-used-for) - [View Hifive pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/hifive/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-06-12+08%3A07%3A20+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=7d5ab39b-fd93-4dcd-9cf8-f185a6cf664a&secure%5Btoken%5D=ca500deccfa73cea2580bf7d12f785786d7c5d333e525d911533c59fdbe0d29f&format=llm_user) ## Hifive Features **Account Mapping** - Common overlaps - Mapping Segmentation - Account Mapping Playbook **Partner Discovery** - Competitive Discovery - Social media discovery - Content-Based Discovery **Partner Collaboration** - Brand Messaging - Offer Management - Catalog Management **Analytics** - Conversion Tracking - Customer value tracking - ROI Measurement **Integrations** - Data warehouse Integration - CRM Integration - Account-Based Marketing Software Integration ## Top Hifive Alternatives - [Crossbeam](https://www.g2.com/products/crossbeam/reviews) - 4.8/5.0 (395 reviews) - [PartnerStack](https://www.g2.com/products/partnerstack/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (902 reviews) - [Impartner PRM](https://www.g2.com/products/impartner-prm/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (553 reviews)
