LinkPoint Connect vs. MindTickle

LinkPoint is well suited to any situation where Outlook is used for email correspondence and calendar items and there is need to have a record of those items and/or perform connected actions (schedule tasks, follow up reminders, etc.) in Salesforce. Automating this process and removing as much duplication of work as possible is the primary goal and the primary benefit that LinkPoint provides. In addition to efficiency, automating the process also provides a pretty substantial increase in accuracy, removing ca. 50% of the chance for human error. It's pretty simple functionality in concept, but extremely valuable in execution.

Mindtickle is a solid LMS for any sales team, and really any team within an organization that needs to provide lms type courses for their teams (both during the onboarding process and for any ongoing training/attestations as time goes on). It is easy to create tailored/relevant courses, and it is simple for users to navigate. All in all I can't think of anything I dislike about this application. It has a broad use case and is extremely scaleable.

• Adding emails is a breeze.
• Creating contacts/leads from outlook is as simple as highlight, drag and drop.
• Additional customization to allow you to bring in associates custom objects.

• It provides me a good graphical representation of the data and gives me the best information about the sales readiness program, which helps me to understand new processes.
• This tool has influenced us by providing training sessions too.
• Through this tool, I am managing my coaching sessions, checklist, and studying how I can better engage my audience.

• The plug-in for Outlook needs to be reset every couple of months.
• It does not tag e-mails sent from mobile devices (or we haven't figured out how to do that yet).

• MindTickle should allow users to bookmark key videos and if this feature is already implemented, it should have a better way of finding how to be able to select this function.
• Some answers in MindTickle are duplicates. While this is probably an error on the setup team, being able to put the exact same response should not be allowed.

Never had to use the support team, which probably means the product works well!

I guess it would be great. I have not needed to utilize the customer support team since I have been using the MindTickle platform. I would say that a good thing. But on the flip side, I am just one user. I would imagine people who are actually putting in the content deal with customer support more regularly for any issues on how the product is operating.

Prior to our move to LinkPoint, we used the Salesforce add-in for Outlook. This required manual syncing of email and calendar items and no easy to use interface between the two programs. It was very cumbersome for me to use, to the point where I quit using it altogether some time ago. I found it far less frustrating to just switch back and forth between Outlook and Salesforce and manually perform the requisite actions, create tasks or other items, enter the required data, etc.

Overall, I have not used other software like MindtTckle, but I believe that my company chose them because they are effective in what they do. The software is extremely user-friendly, and provides an experience that is useful and productive. I would recommend this to anyone or any company looking for an easier method to train.

• Activity history tracking. Our users send most of their emails from outlook.
• Contact and lead creation.
• Visibility of all associated records.

• I'm not in a position to know the specifics, but I will guess the three biggest impacts. One positive has been that MindTickle has kept us sales reps up to date and able to talk about all of the products. I'm sure that these trainings have led to better pipeline numbers.
• MindTickle has had a positive impact on diversity and cultural training as well, as more people are learning and open to learn.
