Likelihood to Recommend We use Dimelo for managing across multiple channels for single clients, which it is really good at. We have not had as much success in identifying posts that may be more suited for escalations--so, for interrogating the content of posts for intent, sarcasm or content inspection, and to automatically assign to different departments or colleagues depending upon the rules.

Salesforce operates very well across pretty much every industry, but not all sales, marketing, and operational processes are created equal. If your marketing process requires a long list of sendable contacts then I would recommend adding on
Pardot or Hubspot. Always start small and scale up, to avoid boxing yourself in down the road.

Its interface is very simple and easy to understand. You can add all customer interactions in digital channels and synchronize ticket information and customer profiles with your existing CRM Read full review Tracking phone calls is extremely easy when using the app on the iphone. After a phone call is complete it prompts the user to enter in call details. SalesforceIQ also automatically logs emails for us. This has saved us time from entering in information manually.

Read full review Salesforce Starter is exactly what it says. It's specific to getting a small business up and running effectively, without unnecessary development or internal overhead required. It doesn't allow for a ton of customization, but it provides more than most other providers across sales, service, and integration/automating business processes. Some tools are more specific to organizations that want to focus on a specific area to grow or manage their business. That's where the other package types and integrations with specific tools come in
Read full review Return on Investment Provided the service we required based upon an assumed initial level of customer engagement Increased social media engagement for the client - positive impact Read full review We have noticed since we have started using SalesforceIQ to communicate items on customer account notes we have freed up hours of phone time between employees allowing us to better answer customer phone calls. This is especially true in our parts department where we have inside and outside sales. We tied in use of Salesforce to our bonus structure to encourage employees to use the software. It is the direction our business is going and we needed everyone to participate to make it work. The newer the employee the better they are about logging information and visits.
