AeroLeads
AeroLeads is well suited for small to medium-sized teams who run basic marketing campaigns (outbound) and have mediocre requirements of finding lead data. It also suits freelancers and consultants who want to generate leads and send cold outreach campaigns at a lower price.

If you own a business that has complex selling processes or requires integrations with 3rd party tools/systems, you should look at Professional, Enterprise, or Unlimited editions. Salesforce operates very well across pretty much every industry, but not all sales, marketing, and operational processes are created equal. If your marketing process requires a long list of sendable contacts then I would recommend adding on Pardot or Hubspot. Always start small and scale up, to avoid boxing yourself in down the road.

  • Tracking phone calls is extremely easy when using the app on the iphone. After a phone call is complete it prompts the user to enter in call details.
  • SalesforceIQ also automatically logs emails for us. This has saved us time from entering in information manually.
  • SalesforceIQ was easy to set up and allowed us customization for fields that were relevant to our business.

Cons
AeroLeads
  • AeroLeads finds only business emails and phone number - the phone number sometimes will be the corporate phone number of the company and not the office desk phone number of that prospect.

  • Price point for smaller startups. Not budget friendly.

Do not have any complaints or problems with the current subscription. Unlike before, the service is also very quick and responsive. We don't have to be on their heads for any trouble. Also, the data we are receiving is very satisfactory and competent, thus we won't be looking for any other tool in the near future.

AreoLeads is the only tool that I have found that gives this kind of information gathering/help. I have found many of the competitors to be more expensive and less reliable when gathering lead data. AeroLeads provides an easy to use professional service at a lower price point than other services. It also offers a free trial which I found particularly useful when testing the product's effectiveness.

Salesforce Starter is exactly what it says. It's specific to getting a small business up and running effectively, without unnecessary development or internal overhead required. It doesn't allow for a ton of customization, but it provides more than most other providers across sales, service, and integration/automating business processes. Some tools are more specific to organizations that want to focus on a specific area to grow or manage their business. That's where the other package types and integrations with specific tools come in

Return on Investment
AeroLeads
  • One of the best thing I found free email verifier through which I was able to verify my old leads as well and for my assignment that was an efficient way I found to get connected with the people.

  • We have noticed since we have started using SalesforceIQ to communicate items on customer account notes we have freed up hours of phone time between employees allowing us to better answer customer phone calls. This is especially true in our parts department where we have inside and outside sales.
  • We tied in use of Salesforce to our bonus structure to encourage employees to use the software. It is the direction our business is going and we needed everyone to participate to make it work. The newer the employee the better they are about logging information and visits.
