Copper gets an A from us

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My organization uses Copper primarily for CRM and Pipelines. It allows us to maintain our communication with customers for an extended period of time, which is a big benefit of "relationship building," as well as manage what stage we are in with each customer. Our organization is unique offering specialized training, consulting, and equipment for a niche market, and we nurture leads sometimes for years before securing them. We've found that Copper offers the most customizable setup for this scenario allowing us to keep leads as leads for as long as needed, categorize them as Training, Consulting, or Equipment, then transition them to the designated Pipeline when we are near securing them. The ease of use of Copper outweighs every prior platform we trialed.

Pros

  • Maintaining all correspondence from all team members per lead
  • Very customizable allowing efficient support for various operations

Cons

  • Setting up the automations can be tricky, automation templates could be helpful
  • Project management was better as a standalone in the access bar, but the Pipeline style is great
  • A strictly team chat or thread would be useful

Return on Investment

  • Uphold our standard and value of customer relationships versus just numbers

Highly recommend Copper as a CRM for Investment Bankers

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Copper to track leads, deal probabilities, and outreach. At any given time we are tracking 200 or so leads. We love how Copper gives us a complete view of all interactions with a prospect and a visual chart to see leads by stage.

Pros

  • Visual of leads by stage
  • complete chronology of all interactions with a prospect
  • Share leads/info among team members

Cons

  • a little confusing to understand differences in field structure between leads, people, contacts and companies. In my world, they are interchangeable.

Return on Investment

  • Positive ROI - reminding me to reach out with all of my prospects.
