Great for mass email automation to prospects

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Lead connections, helping us get that original interest from older list, event lists, and colder leads. This way they stay seperate from our formal business, clean lists. I also use it extensively in affiliate marketing to help me get offers out there quickly and test the markets. After using Autoklose for several years now, we can definitely recommend it to other businesses! I actually haven't leveraged their large B2B database of clean, verified B2B contacts living inside the app... but need to try that one.

Pros

  • Tracking team member performance across different segments
  • Email templates that work, perform well, and and save time that I can launch quickly
  • Full tracking of open rates, replies, and click-through rates and to identify which emails and copy get the best results.

Cons

  • Would be nice to have an internal email scrubber so that is one less step
  • Educational newsletter with best practices and what is working now

Return on Investment

  • Thus far low ROI as it is in cold email space, but it is also no cost but time as I have it on a lifetime deal
  • I didn't even know they had access to a database of info... poorly advertised

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As the owner of a specialized consulting firm, I'm constantly emailing prospects and potential customers. I chose Autoklose because of its ability to create and pre-program email sequences that will contact customers at the exact time and on the days that I choose in advance. Autoklose is very easy to learn, it's user-friendly, and it has allowed my business to start from scratch and reach great highs because of my ability to email many customers without manually sending emails every day.

Pros

  • Sequence sending emails
  • Plan out sending schedules
  • Decide when and how often to contact someone

Cons

  • No integration with LinkedIn
  • No ability to program communication via LinkedIn or other apps
  • Easy to use but basic compared to its competition

Return on Investment

  • 5x more meetings booked because I was reaching out more often to clients
  • 3x more revenue achieved from reaching more clients
  • 2x more emails opened because I didn't have to do everything manually

Saves time, but has limitations.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

This product [Autoklose] is being used by our Sales & Marketing teams to save time when trying to engage with prospects. We create sequences of emails that feature product benefits, in the attempt to "hook" the contact into seeking out more information from us. Our recent campaign had four emails that went out about 5-6 days apart. This frees up time for our staff to manually produce and send email communications.

Pros

  • Automates emails that are personalized.
  • Schedules emails at specified frequency.

Cons

  • AutoKlose uses your own email, (e.g. Microsoft Outlook), so it runs the risk of exceeding the Microsoft Message Rate Limit, which can be problematic for your Outlook account.
  • Additional throttling limits for the SMTP Authentication protocol are:
  • 30 messages per minute
  • Recipient rate limit of 10,000 recipients per day.
  • Exceeding these limits will cause the following issues:
  • Exceeding the per minute limit causes email delivery delays, any excess in message submission will be throttled and successively carried over to the following minutes.
  • Exceeding the per day limit causes the following error message:
  • 554 5.2.0 STOREDRV.Submission.Exception:SubmissionQuotaExceededException.

Return on Investment

  • This product saves my business development manger at least 2 hours per day.
  • The weekly digest reports give us a nice look at how the campaign is performing.
  • Having the analytics for the whole campaign in an easy-to-read format gives a quick snapshot of the campaign activity.

Pros

  • It is helping in editing, managing, and send[ing] out large marketing campaigns.
  • It is easy to handle multiple emails in appropriate sequence.
  • Our company [has been] using this for a very long time. It is one of the perfect email solutions we found for our organization.
  • I have been very much impressed by their support staff.

Cons

  • The main drawback of Autoklose that I [have been] facing for a very long time [is] that it does not give the lists of imported contacts while uploading from CSV. I can see the total number of imports, but [it] does not provide me the list of imported or not imported contacts.
  • I have to go through every single contact to check whether it is uploaded or not. Secondly, it is somehow lacking in integrating with other software which needs changing too.

Return on Investment

  • Easy to use.
  • Reliable customer support.
  • Effective updates.
  • Efficient developer.
  • Cost effective.
