Intercom
It's good with the simple stuff, but our product still heavily relies on real human support for more technical questions. And sometimes the customer doesn't know their question is technical enough to need human support, and goes off of the incorrect AI answer so I need to jump in to help asap.... and still get charged

Lead Forensics
Lead Forensics was especially effective in identifying returning visitors from existing customer accounts. This allowed me to proactively reach out, understand their interests based on web activity, and successfully expand the scope of services they were already purchasing. It's less appropriate for brand-new lead generation, as it doesn’t capture anonymous traffic without prior engagement or recognizable IP data.

Pros
Intercom
  • Great UI - everyone has their own inbox but can still see all incoming messages.
  • Fin AI - we love the AI functionality, it saves tons of time of the team.
  • Automated emails - we configured Intercom in a way that it uses a lot of information we have about our users (e.g. their subscription, date of upgrade, etc.) so that we can use it to automate communication.

Lead Forensics
  • Lead Forensics helps us see which companies are visiting our site, even if they don’t fill out a form. This gives us a chance to reach out to businesses that are already showing interest but might not have contacted us yet.
  • Instead of cold-calling random prospects, we can see which pages a company has viewed and how often they return. This helps us tailor our conversations based on what they’re actually interested in.
  • The Lead Forensics support team has been great whenever we’ve had questions. They’re quick to respond and always ready to help, whether it’s troubleshooting an issue or offering advice on how to get the most out of the platform.

Cons
Intercom
  • Some things are repetitive. Ex: If you provide guidance to ask a follow-up question, it'll ask that follow-up question each time.
  • It'd be cool to have a "vibe" check for auto-sorting. Ex: We have responses to our outreach feed into Intercom. It'd be cool to have a way to auto-sort based on if they ask a detailed question or just a plain "interested" response.
  • It'd be cool if Fin by Intercom flagged conversations, like it a customer seemed agitated, for the team to review.

Lead Forensics
  • Better updates on companies' current names. Often if a company was a different company years ago it still says the old company name which is confusing.
  • Better identifying the correct location. Sometimes it seems like that the location coming up is the wrong location.
  • Giving a better understanding of how they got to the website would help too. Often is says "direct" but I would like to know if it was via a link from an email or what

We have been and will be continuing our journey with Intercom and nothing too concerning has happened that I have experienced or heard of that has us on the edge yet. If it ever happens it will be something along the lines of "Outgrowing" the use of need of the platform.

Usability
Intercom
It takes a bit of getting used to. It's easy to start off with simple pieces of answering queries, etc. The real part is when one tries to use workflows with triggers and automation. Then, it can be a whole different experience. I would love to see it being much simpler in terms of usability there.

Lead Forensics dashboard is fantastic. Lets me see what companies are hitting what parts of the website so I know what to offer them. Often times I’ll offer one thing, only to get told no. Then the client goes to the website and pokes around at other things we offer. Then they reach out to me asking about different services, or next time I reach out I can offer what they were looking at.

Support Rating
Intercom
Intercom is the premier customer support/engagement model and it definitely has one of the top tier customer support teams as well. I don't think I have ever waited more than 5 minutes to get the information I need or get help with an issue. They are incredible and I aim to model our customer service department after them.

[Their] support is great, [whether] you call or send in an email. They are always friendly and willing to help. Anytime I can’t figure something out and need to reach out, I always get a response back quick[ly] - and they will always offer to go in and make the change, but I like when they show me so I can do it next time.

Alternatives Considered
Intercom
As explained previously, most of these platforms were focused on tickets, most reports only work with tickets, there is no way to postpone a service without turning it into a ticket, and since our response time target is a maximum of 2 minutes, these platforms were unable to give us the agility we need. Another point is the stability that left something to be desired. Como explicado anteriormente a maior parte dessa prataformas eram focadas em ticket, a maioria dos relatórios só funcionam com tickets, não tem como postergar um atendimento sem transformar em um ticket, e como nossa meta de tempo de resposta é de no máximo 2 minutos, então essas plataformas não conseguiam nos dar essa agilidade que precisamos, outro ponto também é a estabilidade que deixaavam a desejar

We used to use Visual Visitor. This would give us an email every time someone visited our website. This would give all the information like Lead Forensics does but in a smaller quantity. It used to not integrate with WIX but now it does. We selected Lead Forensics because we saw our site activity was high & wanted to see who was on the site and because of WIX

  • Intercom has allowed Frayt to improve customer satisfaction by ensuring any active issues are addressed immediately to ensure effective service for their needs.
  • Has decreased the time for response when addressing contractors due to the ability to reach out through various means to individuals.
  • Has increased visibility for specific issues to multiple team members for things to be addressed appropriately.
