Salesloft vs Skylead

Salesloft is best suited for outbound campaigns with multiple touchpoints, it helps you reduce manual steps which saves you a lot of time. It also helps team managers to track their team's performance well. It's not suited for an industry that operates on Sunday such as Dubai or the Middle East as you cannot have call steps acting on the weekend and that's a major limitation there.

There are many LinkedIn automation products available, from Chrome extensions to desktop applications, to cloud-based apps like Skylead, and I've used many of them. Skylead stands apart with a simple, intuitive interface that is easy for my clients to use, is very economical compared to others, and is focused on continual improvement and customer service.

• User-Interface: I think it has a great layout and is easy, friendly to use.
• Cadences: These make it super easy/efficient to organize your prospects and customers.
• Email: The email features are great which make it easier when you can have certain templates to choose from or snippets.

• Convenient message inbox for responding to new leads.
• Ability to integrate with CRMs and other 3rd party software for more automation.
• Smart Sequences that use conditional logic to send LinkedIn messages as well as emails.
• Customer service is very responsive and super helpful. They are a pleasure to work with.
• Skylead is constantly improving and adding/updating features based on actual users' input via a feature request forum.

• With great tools comes great responsibility - you NEED training and enablement for this tool.
• Being able to get a dialer phone number in a desired area is spotty, some of our major markets never have a number available in that area code.
• It'd be great if we could change the Person layouts - there's information that we'd like to display and we're limited to just showing a few custom fields.

• It would be nice to be able to add steps to a sequence in an existing campaign
• The user hierarchy is a little confusing, in terms of placing my end-user clients under my master account—a little unintuitive
• Similar to above, it would be nice to have an additional level of user access, for scenarios in which I have a client with multiple salespeople on the platform, each with their own login (as it is now, with access only to their own account), but also have a companywide admin account for a sales manager who has access to all of their accounts with one login (I think they are working on this feature).

The renewal really depends on who the client is. SalesLoft works for some clients better than others.

SalesLoft is a fantastic product that will be extremely helpful to any Sales Rep looking to organize their information and stay one step ahead. While it has its shares of quirks and bugs it proves to be an awesome tool for anyone that is in the sales industry.

we used Yesware mainly to create template emails and to see the opening of our emails. SalesLoft is winning by far as the product is much more complete, allows more automation, calendar functionality and so on. Our company selected SalesLoft because it was recommended to us and it has honestly changed my daily job.

• Improved Productivity - saving time on admin duties like booking meetings or sending emails at the "right" times each week.
• Increased email responses - seeing when prospects open my emails and contacting them shortly after is a godsend, especially because there is a new Seismic integration that allows me to see how long they viewed supporting documents or proposals.
• Opportunity Tracking - the stages and tags that are under each person in SalesLoft allow me to review all of the actions I've taken with a prospect without having to dig through old email chains.
