SalesLoft
It was a game changer bringing in Salesloft. We use Microsoft Dynamics as our CRM and many of my reps had found it difficult to use the reporting as well as make sure they were surfacing their best leads at the right time. Once we implemented Salesloft we saw a 200% increase in productivity and were able to make some corrections around messaging and the type of outreach we were focused on.

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.

Pros
SalesLoft
  • Schedules outbound activities (e.g. calls, emails) and provides a daily worklist for each BDR/SDR. Flexible approach to prioritization based on organization strategy and/or customer engagement. Allows the BDR to focus on their value add - engaging directly with the prospect - and minimizes administrative overhead.
  • Provides a one-click "Book a meeting with me" link that simplifies the meeting scheduling experience for prospects. No more emailing back and forth to find a date and time that works.
  • Includes call recording and a live "call studio" where a manager can listen to active calls and "whisper" to the BDR if needed. This provides great post-call or in-call support for coaching new BDR/SDRs.
  • Delivers a decent set of reporting that allows visibility into individual BDR productivity as well as tracking macro trends such as call volume, pick-ups and meeting scheduled. This allows for problem detection and tuning to maximize productivity.
  • Support and customer success teams are incredibly responsive and extremely helpful.

  • 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.

Cons
SalesLoft
  • The inbound dialer. I don't particularly like having to open a second window just for inbound calls. Especially if I forget to close it during a meeting and get interrupted.
  • The texting interface. I can have emails templated, to fill fields pulled from the lead profile, like name, company, positions, etc. I would like the same functionality for texting, especially since I send as many texts as I do emails. Even being able to save snippets or templates would be nice.
  • On the note of texting, having a dedicated tab in the People view for text messages would do a lot to let me catch up on other people's conversations with the lead, instead of having to find them on the main Activity tab.

  • 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).

SalesLoft is absolutely VITAL to our daily operations. We could not function without it or a program like it. Speaking as a Sales Person who has had to operate without a product like this, the difference is night and day. The ability to stay organized, automate tasks, easily log activities and notes, review calls, and coach team members is an absolute gamechanger.

Reliability and Availability
SalesLoft
The availability is pretty good, we do sometimes have errors or delays in syncing activities but nothing that has been too detrimental to our workflow. Most recently we had an issue with Lofting through Outlook due to a change in security token that took a few weeks to resolve but it is fixed now.

Performance
SalesLoft
Yes timely and easy to use. The only delays we have are when we run our big month sales blitz and activities take some time to sync to the reporting as well as SalesForce

timely and knowledgeable responses. I also feel like the team goes above and beyond by offering to schedule meetings where we can screenshare and walk through questions or issues together.

Online Training
SalesLoft
We had some virtual training with our CSM which was very well constructed. It took some time to get into the full swing of things but with a few weeks of hands on experience I was feeling confidant. The SL team was always available to answer questions or jump an a call to walk us through stuff. I also used the Customer Help Center for a few self guided learnings on how to use specific features related to reporting and team management.

Salesloft blows outreach out of the water in all aspects. One of the biggest issues I had was their unwillingness to listen to customer feedback. I had requested several small changes to be made when I had previously used the platform that unfortunately fell onto deff ears. I am much happier using Salesloft and the positive results I've experienced are a direct result of that.
