    This can be used for different industries, healthcare, IT, retail or any company with a customer service line, big or small. if i had to ask, i would say "Do you have any type of filing system that you use?" "anything where you are keeping track of personal/ business information." Do you need access to information on a day to day basis? If they do , then this can be used , especially if you need to keep track of the numbers; we like how we can see if are things going up or down.

    • Customization - we are able to make Nutshell make the most sense for our company and processes
    • Scheduling - the ability to set tasks allows us to never forget a follow-up call or email
    • Tags - allow us to prioritize leads and segment our customers and potential customers
    • Communication - the ability to tag colleagues in notes for callbacks or updates to accounts is very helpful to keep everyone on the same page
    • Email History - being able to blind copy all our email communication to Nutshell, allows us to have email threads and notes all in one place

    Cons
    HighLevel
    • We encounter bugs from time to time
    • Considering it's all-in-one, individual features are not as powerful as counterparts that specialize in those services
    • Loads slowly at times

    • integration with email doesn't work as advertised
    • would like integration with quickbooks
    • If there is a misspelling in any one email address, you can not send a mass email. You must go back and correct each error before it can send.

    This is perfect for a small business / Home based business with SaaS. Nutshell constantly adds new features and the price is much better than more robust software like Salesforce.

    Usability
    HighLevel
    HighLevel is a great tool, and is a real "all rounder" that helps agencies keep costs down and profits high. It really does serve the majority of marketing agency needs, but it does fall down slightly on some specialist areas, where a dedicated CRM would be best for example. It can be a little tricky to use and buggy, which does cause some frustration sometimes.

    Extremely easy to use and they help you throughout the process. I find it not challenging, an effective utility to help us prioritize and engage efficiently at a reasonable price point. We enjoy working with the team there and they're easy to access. I've already recommended it to two colleagues

    HighLevel
    HighLevel competes with other funnel builders, automations providers and CRMs. HighLevel has a clear advantage in terms of value for money. It gives you a lot of bang for buck. We can get cheaper but you will not get all the same features and development speed as HighLevel. You can get a bit nicer page builders, email marketing tools etc but they will come at a lot more $$. So it really depends. You can spend some more $$ in HighLevel and get custom built css styling and make it look and feel the same as more $$ tools. So really you can't lose with HighLevel in the long run.

    When I first started with BCI, they were using ACT!. It was hard to navigate and there were a lot of spots for duplicate information that made it hard to know if you were in the right spot or not. Then if you had trouble, you would spend 3 hours on the phone with customer service and often they would not even be able to find a solution. I would not recommend ACT! to anyone. Since getting nutshell, I have learned a bit about Cosential and I know that it is more catered to the construction industry and can help with proposal creation, so I think that may be something we consider in the not-too-near future.

    • Nutshell CRM has had a major impact on ROI. The last program we used cost more and had fewer features and accessibility.
    • One negative impact is its email functions. As stated before in this review I need to be able to send large attachments and pics through email and Nutshell is very limited when it comes to that.
