ConnectAndSell vs. Salesbook

If your organization relies on outbound leads through cold calling, this is a great tool for you. ConnectAndSell definitely made the associate's jobs easier at our company and allowed them to produce greater output than they could have done manually without such a tool. This tool is less appropriate if cold calling isn't a big part of your company's lead generation efforts.

The most important thing is definitely the tablet app. It has the entire sales process built into it - from making a presentation, preparing an offer (and even comparing competitors' offers) to signing a contract and sending a follow up to the customer. The implementation went very smoothly, but you also have to put some effort into it. For what it's worth afterwards, the savings in time and money are invaluable.

• The detailed reports help a lot in analyzing sales.
• Thanks to the tablet app, I don't have to enter the data into another system after the meeting with the client. I can do it during the meeting.
• Smooth integration with external tools.

• One thing that's been difficult about Connect and Sell is some people can tell you've been patched through so if you can work past the initial conversation it ends up working great.
• The system has worked great with outreach which we've integrated our contacts directly into the system. Because of this the connection between outreach and connect and sell don't always communicate calls and metrics which are crucial for us to know conversion rates.
• We had a hard time getting the system implemented quickly and working the way we wanted it to. Because of the implementation specialist we were working with problems weren't solved quickly rather they were worked through quickly however they were solved.

For the right reps who are good at talking to prospects who aren't expecting their call, this is a no brainer.

It's easy to use after some time and easy to implement something new or export data. When you have a lot of cases there is not that good clarity to see everything, making it kinda blurry

I have had a few support calls with their people. They are totally reachable and helpful, sharing screens, controlling my screen, showing why things happened, not just correcting it. If you have an issue with the software, let them help. They are there for you, and they are friendly, accessible, and happy to do their job.

• It gives you greater potential to lock in a client, but I'm not sure from my end if this ROI is worth the headaches. It has a lot of work before it can become a truly reliable source for outbounding.
