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.

When sending emails Salesforce Inbox provides valuable insights before sending. We usually send emails to clients and before Salesforce Inbox we would need to check in Salesforce to get details regarding the contact we are sending to. With the Salesforce Inbox there is no need to look in Salesforce as it is connected directly to Gmail or Outlook.

Cons
Aurea
  • 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.

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

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

While I have not used many other automated email CRM integration systems, SalesforceIQ is hands down a crucial part of my daily work flow. I could not picture our company putting up the monthly numbers we are able to allocate without the efficiency and concise notification settings SalesforceIQ gives Everlasting Capital. I highly recommend if you're looking for fast integration results to update numerous departments within your company, to look into SalesforceIQ as it will make your daily tasks substantially easier while keeping all parties more thoroughly notified.
