Merkava vs. Salesforce
Prospector + OODA + Signals (Sales Development Rep + Competitive Intelligence + Market Intelligence) — bundled with SALES at $99/mo — vs. Salesforce at ~$165/mo.
You're running enterprise B2B with a 6+ rep sales team, multi-stage opportunities, and a SalesOps function maintaining custom objects. Salesforce earns its keep when you have the headcount to operate it.
Solo founder or sub-3-rep team selling B2B. SALES at $99/mo qualifies pipeline, runs competitive intel, and surfaces market signals. No SalesOps function needed because the exec runs the function.
Salesforce Sales Cloud Pro starts at $165/seat/mo. Merkava SALES is $99/mo for the exec + 3 specialists. If you have 4+ reps, Salesforce's process scaffolding starts to earn it. If you have <3, SALES is the better dollar.
