Move through the reference process faster.
No more back and forth emails and communication logjams. Orca's Slack integration brings advocacy to the front lines of your revenue organization to efficiently connect with customers.
Sales teams can find a perfect reference — on their own.
No bottlenecks, no extra steps. AEs submit a reference request in Slack, and Orca finds the best-fit advocate based on your Salesforce data—factoring in industry, past engagements, and product relevance.
Keep things moving with centralized communications
Notify CSMs when their customers are requested as advocates, ensuring visibility and alignment. Let sellers know as soon as a request is approved and a call is scheduled so they can take action. All while reminders ensure no request slips through the cracks.
Defer requests with customer-led social proof
Not every opportunity needs a reference and not every reference request gets approved, but that doesn’t mean the conversation has to stop. When a request is declined, Orca’s AI returns the most relevant, human-created customer content directly back to the seller in Slack—keeping prospects engaged and helping deals move forward.

Since day one of our partnership with Orca, they have stepped in as a consultative partner to us. They understand our goals, our challenges, and not just where we want to be in a month but where we want to be in a year plus.
The user-friendliness of Orca Reference is unparalleled. The interface is intuitively designed, making it easy for our sales and customer success team to quickly adapt and learn the product. They were able to grasp its functionalities effortlessly and within just 100 days, they successfully leveraged it to add 100 advocates to the database.
The Orca team has figured out how to manage a growing reference pool for existing and ramping sales reps very well. This was quite difficult before and required my sales staff to investigate who implemented or managed comparable customers to figure out if the customer would be a good reference for the current deal, taking a lot of time.
We really needed a tool to automate advocate request, fulfillment, and tracking processes, and Orca has done exactly that. The main value of Orca for me is the amount of time that I have been able to save, tracking, and fulfilling reference requests for our sales team.

When I came across Orca, I knew I had found a great software solution and true partners who would help me succeed in my programs.
Orca is, without a doubt, the industry’s best-kept secret—for now. From the very first conversation with their team, it’s clear that the tool has been developed with both the end sales user and the customer experience in mind.

So why Orca?
Other than the obvious commitment to our community pod (our customers), we’ve witnessed first hand from the impact that references and advocacy can have on a business. Trendy, flash in the pan ideas can work in the short-term but building strong relationships, building quickly, moving strategically, and paying attention allows for sustained success. Oh, and not to mention Orca’s were given the nickname “killer whale" by ancient sailors who saw them preying on large whales.
