If you are in any type of sales, and meeting with people, it is a must. If you already know you contact well, it doesn't have as much value for that particular meeting. Also I wish there was a way to not sync internal meetings, as it just provides clutter, and I don't need info on those people.

sales-i
More Appropriate Scenarios: 1. It helps in visualizing opportunities with our customers that help us strategize and execute good sales activities to drive our business. 2. It helps in improving the flow of communication between the different departments. 3. It is extremely easy to log call notes and schedule future calls so we never miss an opportunity to reach out to our customers and get the sale. 4. We can create reports that show where my sales are up, and down. It allows me to focus on customers that are down in specific categories and pinpoints the exact products. Less Appropriate Scenarios: 1. The pipeline is very basic which is a bit of a let-down as this is a function we require so have to use a stand-alone product for this. 2. Difficult to pull specific information about a group of customers.

Cons
charlieapp.com
  • At times it doesn't pull a social profile for the contact correctly, or at all, when I know the person has a profile.
  • The interface is a little clunky, and the font is too large. It could be a lot smaller and still effective.
  • It takes a lot of time to sync at points, which is frustrating.

The thing that Charlie does best is it aggregates everything in one place. It allows me to have a one-stop shop, that I can quickly review prior to heading into a meeting. People are usually amazed with the amount of info that Charlie can give you, and it almost always works its way into my sales call.
