What We Do

At Consensus we believe buying enterprise software should be simple, pleasant, and fast instead of complex, painful, and slow (which is how it is today). Buyers now want instant access to Presales (sales engineering) resources throughout the buying experience but they find it harder and harder to get what they need. Using Consensus, a sales engineering team builds a library of reusable interactive video demos that Sales sends out on-demand. Consensus automatically personalizes the experience and tracks engagement as the prospect shares the demo with other stakeholders in the buying group, bringing the entire buying group to live demos better educated and ready to talk specifics.

Why Work With Us

We know that a winning company is built on the efforts of its people, and that’s an environment we foster at Consensus. We strive to give our employees everything they need to make meaningful contributions to the overall success of our company. We’re looking for go-getters that will thrive in a company going through an exciting growth phase!
