Capture leads from LinkedIn and pass them to the sales team for them to contact. Track the times the sales team take to contact the leads, opportunities generated that were originated from Marketing activities and SQLs. Track marketing meetings and keep a record of all the interactions the sales team had with the leads.

Copper meets our small nonprofits needs.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Copper CRM to track contacts associated with most aspects of our organization. The main reason we chose a CRM, and Copper specifically, was to track relationships (e.g., contact information, email exchanges, notes from meetings, whether they are subscribed to our newsletter (run by Mailchimp)) in a centralized location and so that these details can be accessed by several staff members and outlive any individual connections made by a staff member who might cycle out of the organization.

Pros

  • Synch with our e-news service (Mailchimp).
  • Track email interactions.
  • Include privacy tools, e.g., setting an email about payroll as private.
  • Send the same email to several folks, but with a personalized intro.

Cons

  • Meeting notes and other notes don't allow for formatting or embedded links.
  • The email has many options, but it doesn't seem to allow customization beyond merge fields.

Return on Investment

  • We haven't analyzed ROI.

Happy with Copper CRM

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Copper CRM allows us to have a central hub for all our client interactions. We have it integrated with Google Workspace and our RingCentral phone system, which really increases our business efficiency. Using the Forms functionality to have a widget on our website and an auto response generated has allowed us to capture many leads that we otherwise may have missed out on.

Pros

  • Google Workspace Integration
  • Ring Central Integration
  • Internal office communication with alerts and notifications

Cons

  • @all functionality for notes and comments
  • AI notetaker built in

Return on Investment

  • The Forms customization and the ability to place a widget on our website has been great
  • The auto response to forms makes sure prospective clients get responded to even when we are not available
  • Having all client info at the tips of our fingers lets us get information to clients quickly for great support

Simple, Fast & Gmail-Friendly

I love using Copper for my CRM - I've used many CRM's before but the fact that this is an extension on gmail saves a lot of time since I don't need to open another platform. Customer service has been great as well.

Pros

  • don't need to open another platform.
  • an extension on gmail saves a lot of time
  • customer service has been great as well.

Cons

  • I hope adding the contact option will make it easier.
