Categories & Use Cases

Great addition to sales and marketing team for small start-ups

Pros

  • Wordpress plugin makes it easy to set up and start using immediately (if you have a WP site)
  • Intuitive data organisation and tagging
  • Continual product development
  • Integration with Hubspot workflows

Cons

  • Lead management features similar to CRM
  • Folder management for older leads

Return on Investment

  • A single sale for us can be worth a large sum, so even one or two leads a year makes Albacross a good investment for us; however, we've found hundreds of leads over the years.
  • Albacross has helped us be more strategic with lead management as it curates leads in accordance with our objectives / targets, i.e., it forces us to consider link between potential lead and core business so we can better use and align resources
