Likelihood to Recommend It is well suited for any sales department, to try to get ahold of the person you are trying to get ahold of. Playbooks has increased the number of decision makers that I can get ahold of on a day to day basis. This tool would probably be less suited for people that do not have calls to make outside of the company.
Read full review In my opinion, Salesflare is an excellent CRM for small businesses. It includes everything a small business needs to manage leads, deals, and contacts in one convenient location. When a client needs more information or something done, I can quickly record it in their account—perfect for B2B SaaS and small businesses selling B2B in general.

Playbooks does a great job being able to be tailored to your specific organization or business. Playbooks does a great job of having a very friendly user experience. Read full review Zero learning curve, one-minute setup and dead easy to integrate with complementary tools. Powerful data automation features so everything you do has maximum bottom-line impact. Stellar customer support: response is quick and the team really goes out of their way to solve your specific problems. Up to setting up custom solutions for you. Read full review Cons The ability to filter specific plays or pieces of information so that it's more user-friendly for the overall organization. Essentially, more room to customize the organization of accounts and how you're working them. The initial onboarding process of accounts results in high levels of tasks - the ability to break these down in an easier way to help with time management would be helpful.

Read full review It works wonderfully as a CRM for freelancers, consultants and small teams but feels like it would become more difficult to integrate with larger teams Sometimes have issues with email syncing with missing emails or having to reconnect my email to Salesflare Emails are sent from the app using their own servers, I would prefer to send via my own email system (Gsuite) for better delivery Read full review Usability It only took a day to get comfortable with Playbooks. The ease of use and overall usability is fantastic in the sense that it's pretty straightforward once you get enough repetitions in the tool. I also like all of the videos and resources available if support is needed
Read full review The pipeline, which is the core of the platform, is very clear and full of features. On top of that Salesflare added automations, integrations, plugins and emails. You can easily get your leads there from any platform and nurture your leads until you get the deal done. I think any business can benefit from using this sales CRM.
Read full review Support Rating Hit them on Chat support, and you are gonna get a response within a few minutes (if not in a few hours, during weekends) But they are gonna keep following with you till they make sure that your query has been resolved. Keep it up!
Read full review Alternatives Considered The Insidesales Playbooks is by far more intuitive and organized than other programs I have used in the past. Unfortunately I have not had experience with other products that are available out there. I would hope we will see more improvements from the ISDC tool as we all use it more and provide feedback
Read full review Salesflare does its own thing compared to the others I've tried. It's unique even though it shares many of the main features a CRM should have.
Salesforce Lightning is amazing and feature-packed but can often get overwhelming depending on your use case. I never experience any slight lag or load times with Salesflare. Lightning can sometimes hang depending on your browser etc.
Read full review Return on Investment 100's of hours back in our week due to Salesforce Integration! We have more clients answering the phone due to creative caller ID solutions. We can standardize our messaging by partnering with Marketing to help build plays and auto-enroll certain contacts based on messaging. Read full review So far, as optimistic as I am about using the CRM, I've seen a short and speedy return on my investment. Our sales process will quickly become more focused and effective. It's part of our operations and saves us time, but we've never tracked the financial impact. Read full review ScreenShots InsideSales Playbooks Screenshots
