Marketo Sales Connect vs. Woodpecker.co

We are solving our small sales team problem. I am the only SDR in the company and Tout helps me manage, send and follow up with many of my leads automatically. Tout is more focused on “success or failure” of emails than Yesware is. They are going in different directions – as you can see that they’ll probably have some features from one another.

Every time when the company sells digital products and develops its outbound marketing/sales development department. It's the ultimate tool to boost your cold mailing campaigns. Additionally, Woodpecker gives access to great support and noteworthy experts that could guide you on how to maintain your actions and improve your way of doing them.

• Track leads opening emails and clicking links. We could easily see if a lead forwarded an email to a large group of people for instance, because the stats would show it.
• Connect our email and CRM to log email activities onto Leads and Contacts.
• Keep users inside of our email system instead of copying and pasting email templates from multiple places.

Incentivized

• cold mail campaings
• deliverability monitoring

• Reporting is clunky and challenging to use at times. They were recently purchased by Marketo, so I'm hopeful that Marketo will be able to address some of these concerns.
• The ToutApp interface is not the most intuitive and does not provide a deeper understanding/analysis of the data.
• The ToutApp integration with Outlook has created intermittent problems in usability/access.

• There is no

It was tough to reach their support team. On average, it would take over 24 hours to get a response. Agents would ask us to perform repetitive tasks and take lots of screenshots instead of looking at our system and helping us fix issues.

Marketo Sales Connect (ToutApp) was nowhere near as dynamic as the other listed tools that I mentioned. There was not any Sequence or Cadence you could follow. It was missing dynamic fields. A bit cumbersome. The other tools had much prettier interfaces too.

Incentivized

• It's enabled more efficiency for our SDR team to track and monitor emails.
• Increased our ability to better target prospects as we learned more about their behaviors.
• The automation tools for email, and the ability to get glimpses into how that impacted pipeline development, were worth the cost.

Incentivized

• Thousands of safe sent emails with relatively small team
• 70% open rate, 20% response rate (great campaigns of course ;) but also a wonderful deliverability thanks to Woodpecker)
