Conversation Support Platform
United States & India
Account Identification, Integration.
ClearFeed is a conversation support platform tailored for Slack-centric companies. While Slack is a key interpersonal communication tool, its potential for systematic customer support remains underexploited. ClearFeed augments Slack's infrastructure, converting it into a centralized hub for efficient support and advanced team collaboration.Â
Read on to learn how Factors.ai helped ClearFeed optimize its outreach, harness deeper insights from the accounts visiting their website and interacting with them across G2 and paid channels, and supercharge its sales strategy for unprecedented growth.
In ClearFeed's early outbound days, pinpointing the accounts to reach out to was a significant challenge. Without the right information, we were often in the dark, uncertain of our approach.

Before using Factors.ai, ClearFeed struggled to identify the accounts that were genuinely interested in their solution during their outbound reachouts. The account identification and other tools they relied upon back then couldn't effectively segment or profile their audiences. This meant ClearFeed couldn't tailor their outreach or fine-tune their sales strategies. As a result, they faced challenges in customer acquisition, with an urgent need for richer insights to shape their outbound reach out approach.

ClearFeed sought to understand the motivations of the 95% of accounts visiting their website who didn't submit a demo form. The idea was to discern if the accounts were merely exploring or had specific interests regarding platforms like Slack and how ClearFeed might address them. Gathering this data is pivotal for ClearFeed's strategic approach to expanding its customer reach.
Before adopting Factors.ai, ClearFeed used other tools that were ineffective in accurately identifying the accounts visiting its website. These tools generated false positives and irrelevant information, which made it difficult for ClearFeed to know who exactly was visiting their site and how to reach out to the appropriate person within these accounts.
The account identification tools used by ClearFeed at the time only offered weekly account reports, lacking real-time alerts. The absence of alert customization and instant Slack notifications hindered their sales team's prompt response, missing timely opportunities.
ClearFeed attempted to approach relevant companies from lists such as Fortune's Cloud 100 and their investor’s portfolios. However, they encountered a significant issue: they couldn’t ascertain whether these companies had a need for ClearFeed’s solution. Not having insight into whether the account has engaged with ClearFeed’s web properties in the past made it that much harder.
ClearFeed started a marketing team about a year into its operations, initiating efforts like case studies, blogs, and advertisements. They also experimented with Account-Based Marketing (ABM). However, they struggled to determine how to effectively increase engagement and couldn’t figure out the ROI from these campaigns.Â

By uploading a list of target companies to Factors, ClearFeed ensured that they only received alerts when a company from this list visited their website. The team could customize Slack alerts as per their requirements and create custom reports on the same. This allowed for swift and priority outreach along with better understanding of the accounts engaging on the website.
Using the insights from Factors, ClearFeed experienced a surge in meetings, noting that 20% of these meetings were a direct result of Factors' insights. The platform instilled confidence in ClearFeed's outreach strategy.
