    LeadMaster
    My company works with a client who offers a SaaS solution to
    the beauty sector. We had been using Salesforce for three years but needed a
    system with lead nurturing, workflow automation, and user-friendliness that
    Salesforce lacked without a hefty monthly price tag.

    We are taking use of LeadMaster's eMarketing, automation,
    and workflow management capabilities as well as the streamlined nature of the
    Professional Edition. We've been able to better regulate the sales process and
    boost our conversion rate as a result.

    We have been very pleased with LeadMaster's customer service
    and would suggest their product without reservation.

    Pipeline CRM PipelineDeals
    • I wouldn't say no areas for improvement exist, but I will say that PipelineDeals takes customer input, shared product roadmap, and supports what they have very nicely. What they provide works out-of-the-box. Improvements can always be made with respect to pre-packaged integration with 3rd party services/solutions, and with extended attributes, but you also want to avoid something that attempts to boil the ocean.

    If we can integrate and easily export and clean all of our data such that it can be used for multiple purposes, i.e. outreach to guests, sending out newsletters to subscribers, doing research and tracking progress, we will definitely renew

    Usability
    LeadMaster
    My ability to more effectively manage the workflow in our office has been greatly enhanced by LeadMaster. Each member of my team is aware of the students they are responsible for recruiting and the specific process that should be followed with each and every one of them. The system also enables us to practically eliminate the use of paper in our process, which helps to reduce the number of different types of office errors.

    Support Rating
    LeadMaster
    The reason to give this rating because of the following.

    1. Assessing the efficiency of campaigns involving
    several agencies and points of contact

    2. True close loop reporting

    3. The capacity to manage a channel through the use
    of features for updating leads and pipelines.

    4. Ensuring that no leads were lost and that they
    were always assigned to someone for follow-up, whether the lead originated
    through e-marketing, the filling out of a form on a website, or even a lead
    from a trade fair

    5. Creating a seamless connection between marketing
    and lead generating

    Alternatives Considered
    LeadMaster
    My client has been using Salesforce for the past two years,
    but they were looking for a system that would provide lead nurturing, workflow
    automation, and overall ease of use – functionality that was just not available
    within Salesforce without incurring a large, monthly fee. I'm using one of my
    clients who has been using Salesforce for the past two years.

    Because of LeadMaster's user-friendliness, robust automation
    and workflow management, and eMarketing capabilities, we have decided to employ
    the Professional Edition. As a result, we are able to better regulate the sales
    process and achieve a higher closure rate.

    The cost is much better and it is much easier to use. Salesforce was way too robust and I never want to hire a consultant to set up a CRM. PipelineDeals CRM has the best visibility of our sales efforts.
