We use Freshworks CRM in our business to organize and categorize clients, keep track of new leads, deals and sales progress. We use this product daily to set remainders for following up, email messages, to get an overview of our current proposals and potential sales. This program addresses organization problems.

I've tried various other CRM's and Freshworks CRM looks and feels energetic and easy to use. You can easily configure workflows and automation, set up sequences for your email campaign. Some tools (That I have used in the past require a separate application that has to integrate with my CRM to perform this action.) We, at our organization, use it to build pipelines and maintain customer/prospect information.

We brought on [Freshworks CRM (formerly Freshsales)] as a replacement for Salesforce. We needed a way to track leads through the sales cycle and provide reports to our executives. [Freshworks CRM] allows us to manage leads, contacts, accounts, and deals. We also use it for sales campaigns as needed. This is being used only by our Sales department but as our Support team uses FreshDesk, we can see any Support tickets that have been raised by our customers in the platform as well which is helpful.

We currently use it for a couple of client projects. We implemented Freshworks CRM [(formerly Freshsales)] for a retail company. We used Zapier to integrate with Freshworks CRM [(formerly Freshsales)]. Whenever a customer purchase something the customers info would then forward over to Freshworks CRM [(formerly Freshsales)]. We could then use Freshworks CRM [(formerly Freshsales)] to send targeted email campaigns.

We are using Freshsales for our sales department and for client management through projects at my web design company in Nashville. It allows us to automate communication so we can send personalized messages to get people to set up calls. Then we have integrations with other apps to move leads and existing customers through a pipeline so it only sends them the relevant notifications and follows up when appropriate.

Freshsales is being used to manage our sales pipeline and act as a CRM for other parts of the business. It allowed us to go to a cloud-based solution that was also much simpler to use and maintain than Microsoft Dynamics.

We use Freshsales in our prospect, commercial, and relationship areas. We resolved problems of generating leads with the proper information and integrations with our systems, moreover, we now are able to have a live base of prospects and strategic data on how we can perform better for prospecting. About sales and relationships, we keep track of what negotiations are important and strategic reports on how are sales velocity is running, and the number of clients that renew, moreover, we have the entire history of the customer with us.

It is being used by the whole sales team including the support team. We have our support portal also connected with Freshsales so that we can customize our offerings as per the customer's need. We can look into customers' specific interests and offer them value-added services using Freshsales CRM. It is an amazing experience. and very easy to use. The biggest issue was seeking the report from my sales reps. Now it has been addressed by Freshsales CRM in a big way. I can see the reports in a click of a button.

This is the simplest CRM out there and the only one that offers a free plan, so for small and medium businesses it is somewhat of a boon wherein you can actually help with increasing your sales and marketing productivity for low costs or even for free. This software is easy to learn and doesn't offer many complexities but then again it falls short as compared to several high prices CRMs, i.e. you get what you pay for.

I used Freshsales to track our new business and set up workflows based on specific points of the deal. I also used it to store customized client data, as well as to connect our G Suite email account up with the CRM so that we could obtain an overview of communication on the clients' respective CRM pages.

For the past 3 years, Freshsales has changed the way we monitor sales, opportunities, and even projects.
We use Freshsales across the whole organization to keep everyone updated about project status and to document assets, from a proposal from an Account Manager, to notes, call registry, and project scope for the Professional Services team. We had problems registering new opportunities in an easy way and controlling the sales pipeline, with Freshsales we now have an instant view of business status even from Freshsales Mobile App.

We have two use cases for Freshsales - we use it as a straightforward CRM for our sales team to manage our relationships with clients, and we also use the system as a way of maintaining our users. Our directors, sales team, telemarketers, and marketing teams all use Freshsales daily.

Freshsales is being used by our entire organization. It is the CRM that we currently use to keep track of our customers. We use it for everything, all the way from Email Marketing to attaining new customers through the phone. It is what the higher-ups in the organization use to monitor the employees and what they are doing with each of their prospects. It is integrated through everything that we do. It is a great product; I have come to really rely on it and love using it.

As an organization we use Freshsales CRM for our outbound and inbound sales. We actually use the blossom plan. We have a business that depends on prospecting for new leads and this platform is perfect for that. It let's you create sales campaigns for prospecting with different stages and actions within the platform. Then you can qualify the leads as you wish with custom variables and have workflows that work depending the value of this variables. It also has a phone feature where you can call within the platform and record the conversation. And for the inbound sales it let's you capture leads with web forms and qualify them.

Freshsales helps us a lot with customer comunication. It is very easy to control information about leads, deals and more. And the pipelines help us to see where the customers are on their journey. Also we use the email marketing function in Freshsales. Email marketing gives us better results with our existing customers.

Freshsales is being used by my company as a single point of contact for all of our lead and prospect database. We use it to warehouse all of our client and account information and is the tool that we use for all of our calling out for lead and prospect generation. I am able to follow the lead from the initial point of contact through out the entire lead and sales cycle and then once they are a client I can use Freshsales to do all reordering and account management. Along with the mobile application on my mobile devices Freshsales has to be one of the most extensible and robust sales tools that I have used since Salesforce!

Freshsales is being used for lead management and creating and managing deals apart from other sales activities. It also helps us in running campaigns. It can be used effectively to keep track of open, click and bounce rates which is extremely vital to our next course of action. The ability to set rules to keep the leads engaged by means of the lead score is my personal favorite feature. Scheduling emails by setting rules is simple. In terms of product support, they have been really good as they make sure to send us relevant webinars to help us better after an expert answers our questions.

I used Freshsales as a VOIP service provider. For the last 5 months, this service was not provided, there were system errors on their platform which none of the 8 people that I talked to knew how to fix. The only solution was provided was to forward the problem to another co-worker. I lost several thousands of dollars of business, time wasted trying to sort it out, and further expenses as they kept charging my business. When asked to refund my account balance, they instructed me that they do not issue refunds - at all.

It's the best platform for a start-up. It is the best way to increase sales as it gives reports in a very less time which increases efficiency. Working with this program, the documents and lead's information comes in handy. The follow-up procedure in this program creates a good system for users with multiple ways to contact the clients.
