Contactability vs Zywave Sales Cloud - Agency Management (AMS) (formerly BrokerageBuilder)

• The software reporting system is really clean and works well and they are good at sending you leads.
• Their customer service is also willing to work with you and they really tried to help me improve our ROI.
• Since using Contactability our workflow is changing. We now only pick up the phone when someone is interested in our services. The prescreening is all handled and we have control over the flow, what is said. Even when we're out of the office we can log in from anywhere and see what's happening with our leads and those missed calls get scheduled for us automatically.

• It's very flexible. You can add custom fields easily and create/update workflows and activities quickly.
• The layout is easy on the eye. The dashboard is laid out well and helps you stay on track with renewals and activities.
• Emails attached to an activity are easily viewed and housed within the activity on a separate tab.
• Adding and reviewing policy info is simple. The tabs make it helpful to find and view info quickly.

• Call the toll-free customer service number and you are transferred to a blank voicemail, with an electronic repeat of the phone number.
• The software training videos were confusing to non technical users.
• We encountered bugs with the use of Windows 10. Some of the futures were bugged.

• The reporting was a challenge. There are a lot of canned reports, but we had to spend hours over several weeks to have reports built to give us accurate info, like a simple book of business report (it had to be escalated to senior reporting engineers). Creating reports is fairly simple, but we frequently encountered issues that made us lose confidence in the data—particularly on the book of business reports.
• There should be some auto-save features. When we used the system (through June 2019), you always had to click "save" on any changes.
• It would improve efficiencies if users could drag/drop emails and documents to activities, policies and clients.

• We got our people to become more open minded in trying new software and exploring options for automation.
• Users got discouraged when the software did not work as it was supposed to and customer service was not there too help.
• Once used correctly, we did have a large increase in the number of new clients that our office handled.

• We liked the system for the Benefits department. It was easy to see what your colleagues had done for clients. We liked that you could mark tasks as complete within the activity. We liked that you could share activities with another person.
• Having two systems was a challenge for our agency and led to use changing to one combined system.
• The reporting needs to be improved. The basic book of business reports and other reports that most agencies want to use to track revenue with were lacking and had to be created.
