Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We were looking for a software tool to help automates customer acquisition at the lowest possible cost for our company. There were a few options out there, but ultimately GrowSurf was the correct choice. We had too many ways of managing these transactions with spreadsheets, SugarCRM opptys, or random emails. Having this one tool has made tracking and reporting on this so much easier.

Loyalty Program Comparison
Incentive and Reward Managing

Cons

Better developer documentation
More releases per year
Release notes with details and change log.

Most Important Features

Email Auomation

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

GrowSurf helped us track all of our referrals from several marketing channels and was very customizable to use, which made it far less intensive to set up something similar on our own or with a competitor. There was no complex coding required. All acquisition channels such as paid marketing, newsletters, and more can be added to GrowSurf to track revenue and data really well.

Pros

Partner and referral incentives are done well.
Tracking of all acquisition channels in the business.
Easy to set up and implement, very easy to use.

Cons

None that I can think of - everything is done very well.

Most Important Features

Data visualization and tracking for all acquisition sources.
Incentives given easily to affiliates - ease of set up.
