Enterprise sales teams are spoiled for choice (and headaches) when it comes to B2B go-to-market (GTM) software. If you're weighing Salesfinity against the crowded field—think Outreach, Salesloft, Apollo, and a dozen more—this guide will help you cut through the shiny feature lists and find what actually matters for your team.
This isn’t about picking “the best” tool. It’s about finding the right fit for your real-world sales process, tech stack, and sanity.
Step 1: Know What GTM Software Actually Does (and Doesn’t)
Before you get lost in product pages, be clear about what B2B GTM tools actually do: - Automate workflows: Email sequences, call tasks, reminders, and basic reporting. - Centralize data: Contact info, activity logs, engagement tracking. - Integrate (sometimes poorly) with CRMs: Expect some hiccups. - Support outbound prospecting: List-building, enrichment, and multi-channel outreach.
Here’s what these tools don’t do: - Magically make your reps better at selling. - Fix a broken sales process. - Give you “AI” that replaces humans (yet).
Pro tip: If your sales process is a mess, no tool will save you. Get your process sorted before you go shopping.
Step 2: List Out Your Non-Negotiables
Every sales team says they’re “unique,” but most share a few core needs. Still, you’ll want to get specific.
Ask yourself: - What workflows must the tool support? (e.g., multi-threaded outreach, call logging, LinkedIn steps) - Which integrations are a dealbreaker? (Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, etc.) - How much are you willing to pay—realistically? - Is security/compliance (SOC 2, GDPR) non-negotiable? - What does “good support” mean to your team?
Ignore: Feature bloat. Stick to what actually moves the needle for your team. If only 10% of features get used, don’t pay for the other 90%.
Step 3: Compare Core Features—But Don’t Get Distracted
Let’s get honest: Most GTM tools check the same boxes. The devil’s in the details.
What to Compare:
- Sequence Flexibility: Can you branch, pause, or customize steps easily?
- Data Quality: How fresh and accurate is the contact/enrichment data?
- Reporting: Is it actionable, or just pretty dashboards?
- Phone Dialer: Is it built-in, or a clunky add-on?
- Multi-channel: Can you really do email + phone + LinkedIn without hacks?
- CRM Sync: Is it a two-way sync, or “sort of” works if you don’t look too closely?
What to Ignore:
- “AI-powered” anything: Most of it is basic automation with a new coat of paint.
- Gimmicks: Animated avatars, “magic” email writing, etc. If your reps won’t use it, it’s not a value-add.
- Endless integrations: If you’re not using them now, you probably won’t start.
Pro tip: Ask for a 15-minute demo with your own workflows—not their canned demo. If it takes 10 clicks to do something simple, you’ll regret it later.
Step 4: Dig Into How Salesfinity Stacks Up
Here’s the quick and dirty on Salesfinity:
- Strengths:
- Focused on enterprise workflows. Handles complex, multi-step sequences without falling apart.
- Clean interface. Less “click-hunting” than some big-name competitors.
- Flexible reporting. You can actually get to the data you care about without a PhD in Excel.
-
Plays nice (mostly) with major CRMs.
-
Weak Spots:
- Newer player. Fewer third-party integrations and community resources than Outreach or Salesloft.
- Some “AI” features are pretty basic—don’t expect magic.
- May not have as many built-in templates or marketplace add-ons.
Who should consider Salesfinity? - Teams sick of bloated, slow tools. - Orgs with complex outreach needs (custom steps, multi-threaded sales). - Those who value usability over a laundry list of features.
Who should think twice? - If you live and die by integrations with every SaaS under the sun, you may run into roadblocks. - If you need a huge support community or tons of online tutorials, you’ll find more with older, bigger tools.
Step 5: Reality-Check the Competition
Let’s call out the big names you’ll probably compare:
Outreach & Salesloft
- Pros: Feature-rich, industry standard, mature integrations, big user base.
- Cons: Can feel bloated and slow for smaller teams. Setup and admin can be a nightmare. Expensive.
Apollo.io
- Pros: Strong database and enrichment. Good for startups and growth teams on a budget.
- Cons: UI can be overwhelming. Reporting is less robust. Some data quality issues.
Groove, Yesware, Mixmax, etc.
- Pros: Usually cheaper, lighter-weight, easier to pilot.
- Cons: May lack depth for complex enterprise workflows. Integrations and support can lag.
Pro tip: Most teams end up using 20% of what these tools offer. Don’t pay for more than you need.
Step 6: Get Real About Implementation and Support
Features are nice, but what about getting the tool live—and keeping it running?
- Onboarding: How long will it really take to get reps up to speed? (Hint: If it’s more than a week, watch out.)
- Ongoing Support: Do you get a real human, or just a Zendesk ticket?
- Customization: Can your admin handle tweaks, or do you need a consultant every time?
- User Adoption: Will your reps actually use it, or will they quietly go back to spreadsheets and side emails?
Ask every vendor for real customer references. Not the ones on their website—the ones who will tell you what’s actually broken.
Step 7: Run a Pilot—Don’t Just Read Reviews
No matter what the sales rep says, you won’t know if a tool works until you put it in your team’s hands.
- Pick a “test” deal cycle or segment. Don’t try to roll out to everyone at once.
- Track what matters: Rep adoption, process fit, CRM sync sanity, and how much admin overhead creeps in.
- Set a time limit: If you’re still “testing” after 90 days, you’re just procrastinating.
Watch out for: Surprise costs (extra seats, data limits, integrations behind a paywall), and “wait, that’s an enterprise plan only” gotchas.
Step 8: Make the Call—And Don’t Overthink It
After piloting, you’ll have a pretty clear sense of what works. Remember: - No tool is perfect. - You will outgrow your stack at some point—don’t try to buy for 5 years out. - Simpler is almost always better, especially for busy sales teams.
The Short Version: Keep It Simple, Test, and Iterate
Don’t get blinded by feature lists, “AI” promises, or slick demos. Get clear on what your sales team actually needs, put contenders like Salesfinity through a real-world trial, and don’t be afraid to walk away if it’s not a fit.
You can always switch tools later. What matters is picking something your team will actually use—and getting back to selling, not fiddling with software settings.
