    Excellent software to increase sales and follow up with existing and new customers. Email and SMS handling are really easy for the sales team, managing leads is really great, and Close merges duplicate leads to help our Data Leads avoid repetitive and unnecessary calls. As mentioned in some comments before, must improve in reports, Close is not appropriate to handle or track agents' hours making it necessary to implement additional software to cover this area.

    GoContact is a good choice for medium and larger contact centers who deal with more than 2k calls per day for example. This software is a leader in managing Outbound Campaigns and it's easy to use. It's also suitable if you don't have a CRM and want to manage tickets and omnichannel customer service. If you just want an easy to use and easy to setup software and just making occasional outbound calls there's cheaper solutions.

    Pros
    Close
    • Email sequences. Create and send a sequence of emails until the sequence finishes or the contact replies to your email. You can also pause the sequence manually.
    • Email sync. Syncs in real time with your email account, which is huge.
    • Zapier integration. We've automated a lot of our pipeline management through the Zapier integration. This saves us soooo much time.

    Usability
    Close
    It's my favorite CRM to recommend to sales organizations. Robust Telephony options including a Power Dialer, SMS, and Voice Drop, are completely integrated into the CRM. The kicker is you can have "Unlimited" contacts where many platforms charge based on the number of users. This can make a huge difference in monthly billing.

    Every user adapts quicky to the workspace and functionality but technically it should be easier to deal with the soft phone configuration. Team Leaders and Business Managers can get all the information they need to make decisions with a high level of usability. GoContact should think about bringing their software to an app version like their competition is doing.

    Support Rating

    I haven't really had the need to use their support, but the only time I had an issue with the platform, the Close team was very attentive and responded in a short span of time. Also they take minimal time to solve issues. The only con here is there is no way to reach out to them apart from email.

    Their support was in fact an extension of my team since day 1 and helped us in a big way with training, set up and solving operational doubts and issues in a fast and truly interested way. Personally, I had an account manager 24/7 at my disposal without any additional charge or something. They also care about our business and provide tips so we can get better results.

    Pipedrive was great for us for a long time. We used it for over 4 years. Our product and process was simple. When things got more complex, we needed something that could handle our growing needs and Pipedrive kept falling short. We built our own custom solution in Airtable and though it worked, we spend a lot of time managing it. Close was able to solve all our issues and save us hours per week in admin work.

    Since I was looking for a solution that allowed me to move about 50 door-to-door sellers to remote telemarketing work I needed a solution that was easy and fast to set up and to manage from a distance. GoContact is a leader in massive outbound solutions and very well recommended by people in my network.
