FollowUp.cc vs. Marketo Sales Connect

FollowUp works great for lead follow-up, as well as for colleague followup, and you can't forget about client followup, it is all great when you need a record or a reminder for any email that you send or one that you just do not want to worry about right now but still need to respond to.

We are solving our small sales team problem. I am the only SDR in the company and Tout helps me manage, send and follow up with many of my leads automatically. Tout is more focused on “success or failure” of emails than Yesware is. They are going in different directions – as you can see that they’ll probably have some features from one another.

• Quick and easy to use while in your email inbox
• You do not have to go outside of your current solution to implement it
• It was a very easy plug in to get started and working

• Track leads opening emails and clicking links. We could easily see if a lead forwarded an email to a large group of people for instance, because the stats would show it.
• Connect our email and CRM to log email activities onto Leads and Contacts.
• Keep users inside of our email system instead of copying and pasting email templates from multiple places.

• It is a bit costly for what I get out of it
• It is kind of spammy during trial
• Changes the look of your inbox too much

• Reporting is clunky and challenging to use at times. They were recently purchased by Marketo, so I'm hopeful that Marketo will be able to address some of these concerns.
• The ToutApp interface is not the most intuitive and does not provide a deeper understanding/analysis of the data.
• The ToutApp integration with Outlook has created intermittent problems in usability/access.

It was tough to reach their support team. On average, it would take over 24 hours to get a response. Agents would ask us to perform repetitive tasks and take lots of screenshots instead of looking at our system and helping us fix issues.

This is the only product of this type that I have tried due to it being the best on the market for this type of thing

Marketo Sales Connect (ToutApp) was nowhere near as dynamic as the other listed tools that I mentioned. There was not any Sequence or Cadence you could follow. It was missing dynamic fields. A bit cumbersome. The other tools had much prettier interfaces too.

Incentivized

• It was a waste of time to get to know
• It was hard to implement inside my current processes
• No way the office would have liked it

Incentivized

• It's enabled more efficiency for our SDR team to track and monitor emails.
• Increased our ability to better target prospects as we learned more about their behaviors.
• The automation tools for email, and the ability to get glimpses into how that impacted pipeline development, were worth the cost.
