    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.

    My company works with a client who offers a SaaS solution to
    the beauty sector. We had been using Salesforce for three years but needed a
    system with lead nurturing, workflow automation, and user-friendliness that
    Salesforce lacked without a hefty monthly price tag.

    We are taking use of LeadMaster's eMarketing, automation,
    and workflow management capabilities as well as the streamlined nature of the
    Professional Edition. We've been able to better regulate the sales process and
    boost our conversion rate as a result.

    We have been very pleased with LeadMaster's customer service
    and would suggest their product without reservation.

    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.

    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.

    My ability to more effectively manage the workflow in our office has been greatly enhanced by LeadMaster. Each member of my team is aware of the students they are responsible for recruiting and the specific process that should be followed with each and every one of them. The system also enables us to practically eliminate the use of paper in our process, which helps to reduce the number of different types of office errors.

    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.

    The reason to give this rating because of the following.

    1. Assessing the efficiency of campaigns involving
    several agencies and points of contact

    2. True close loop reporting

    3. The capacity to manage a channel through the use
    of features for updating leads and pipelines.

    4. Ensuring that no leads were lost and that they
    were always assigned to someone for follow-up, whether the lead originated
    through e-marketing, the filling out of a form on a website, or even a lead
    from a trade fair

    5. Creating a seamless connection between marketing
    and lead generating

    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.

    My client has been using Salesforce for the past two years,
    but they were looking for a system that would provide lead nurturing, workflow
    automation, and overall ease of use – functionality that was just not available
    within Salesforce without incurring a large, monthly fee. I'm using one of my
    clients who has been using Salesforce for the past two years.

    Because of LeadMaster's user-friendliness, robust automation
    and workflow management, and eMarketing capabilities, we have decided to employ
    the Professional Edition. As a result, we are able to better regulate the sales
    process and achieve a higher closure rate.
