Consensus is a trailblazer in the realm of demo automation, committed to reinventing the buying experience for enterprise software. Founded in 2013 by Garin Hess, the company emerged from a clear recognition of the frustration buyers encounter during the software evaluation process. Buying software should be straightforward and efficient, yet for many, it has been laden with challenges, extended timelines, and intricate decision-making hurdles. Consensus was specifically designed to alleviate these issues, offering a user-driven solution that puts buyers in control.

Through its innovative Demo Automation platform, Consensus empowers revenue teams by providing them with the tools to share automated demos on demand. This process enables prospects to engage with the product at their convenience, fostering an environment where they can explore features and functionalities interactively. As a result, sales cycles have been shown to decrease significantly—more than 30% faster in many cases—while close rates improve as buyer education and engagement deepen. Trusted by many top software companies and recognized globally, Consensus continues to lead the industry by staying ahead of the curve, constantly refining its offerings to ensure that sellers and buyers can communicate and collaborate effectively.
