Likelihood to Recommend It is well suited for any sales department, to try to get ahold of the person you are trying to get ahold of. Playbooks has increased the number of decision makers that I can get ahold of on a day to day basis. This tool would probably be less suited for people that do not have calls to make outside of the company.

Read full review Pros Playbooks does a great job of letting reps know when phone numbers are not a working number. Playbooks does a great job being able to be tailored to your specific organization or business. Playbooks does a great job of having a very friendly user experience. Read full review Kixie integrates seamlessly with our CRM (Zoho), meaning it updates call notes directly on the customer's CRM profile. The one-click dialing feature directly through our CRM is a great feature. It's so simple; just search for a name, one-click, and you are on the phone. The local presence feature is a nice touch for cold calls. It provides a local area code when cold calling to increase the likelihood of an answer to the call. Read full review Cons The ability to filter specific plays or pieces of information so that it's more user-friendly for the overall organization. Essentially, more room to customize the organization of accounts and how you're working them. The initial onboarding process of accounts results in high levels of tasks - the ability to break these down in an easier way to help with time management would be helpful.

Read full review "Power Dialer" doesn't work all the time. Only records; doesn't give any type of analysis. Getting your account set up correctly can be confusing. Read full review Usability It only took a day to get comfortable with Playbooks. The ease of use and overall usability is fantastic in the sense that it's pretty straightforward once you get enough repetitions in the tool. I also like all of the videos and resources available if support is needed
Read full review Alternatives Considered The Insidesales Playbooks is by far more intuitive and organized than other programs I have used in the past. Unfortunately I have not had experience with other products that are available out there. I would hope we will see more improvements from the ISDC tool as we all use it more and provide feedback
Read full review Kixie integrated much better with our CRM (Zoho) than
CrazyCall . In addition, Kixie had increased reporting features that
CrazyCall did not offer--
CrazyCall 's reporting was limited and not detailed enough for our purposes. Lastly, at the time,
CrazyCall did not have the inbound call services that Kixie offered. In fact,
CrazyCall did not have any inbound services when we were using the software.
