    The transition to Google has been painful - key contacts are no longer available.

    Octopus CRM
    Automating connection requests is well-suited for those working who work in sales and need to connect with a large volume of people. Not sure of suitability for other professions

    Our initial contract with Wildfire Whitelabel was for $30,000/year, as we progressed we found several alternatives for significantly less. We used this to our advantage to lower the second year to $17,000 with the limitation in the level of support (they call this their "core" subscription). Support has been quite bad.

    During our contract, we also asked for quotes on some custom work, but never managed to get an answer (or actual quote). Now two years into our contract, the limitations and lack of development are enough for us to find a different solution. Newcomers to the market like Rafflecopter, WooBox and PunchTab are delivering much better results for a fraction of the price

    Gave me a thorough rundown on everything the software does. Sometimes it is difficult to run through it all over the phone/internet, but I was able to figure it out myself.

    Wildfire was a merely an adequate social media tool when it existed as a standalone, but it just couldn't compete against other players like Sprout, Falcon, and Sprinklr.

    Octopus works hand in hand with LinkedIn Sales Nav. I will save people from leads from Sales Nav and then import those leads into Octopus to automate connection requests

    Return on Investment

    • As with any social media management tool, there is a savings on labor hours (rather than doing the manual work)
    • Aggregating all content into one system creates efficiencies for content teams

    • I've been able to book some meetings from people I've connected with on Octopus, positively impacting my sales metrics and my companies bottom line.
    • Also good to grow my LinkedIn connections to show people I am a face in my industry.
