What is Marketo Sales Connect?

Marketo Sales Connect (ToutApp) is a sales email tracking tool that includes tracking, templates, click-to-call, and analytics. It also includes a Calendar to streamline bookings. It is presented as a "swiss-army knife" for sales development reps, account executives, sales ops, sales managers, marketing teams, and customer success teams.

Its template library can be used as a content repository, to upload Powerpoints, case studies, etc. The recommended templates feature allows users to map templates in the library to specific parts of the sales process, based on meta-data about the prospect. There are capabilities for managers to control who can share/create templates based on roles. In addition, Tout integrates with Box, so content in the user's cloud storage files can also be attached to emails.

Marketo acquired ToutApp in 2017.

Marketo Sales Connect (ToutApp) was used by our organization as a sales efficiency tool. It was an excellent tool for planning large outreach campaigns for contacts, scheduling prospecting calls, and reaching a large volume of users at once.

It was primarily used by the sales and marketing departments. The marketing department would use it for broader campaigns, and the sales team would focus on finding new business through the tool.
  • Large volume email campaigns
  • CRM integration
  • Easy to use interface/setup
  • Easy to collaborate and share templates with colleagues
  • Customer support
  • Had more email bounces with ToutApp than with other solutions (i.e. Outreach.io).
Marketo Sales Connect (ToutApp) was a strong tool for finding and qualifying new business. As a sales organization, we would be able to easily share best practices and best emails through Tout and look through campaigns that other sales executives had created. Through this, there was an increased collaboration in email-based prospecting.

The bridge between ToutApp and our CRM (Salesforce) was great. It logged activity from a Gmail account and synced up emails sent from ToutApp to Gmail. It was used across our organization for several years, and the number of new opportunities our team found after adding in ToutApp as a sales productivity tool skyrocketed.

When we bought Marketo Sales Connect (ToutApp) back in 2018, they offered us to use ToutApp(later "Marketo Sales Engage" and then "Marketo Sales Connect") for free. And it was a great deal because Marketing Automation should go hand in hand with Sales Automation.
Our Sales team used Marketo Sales Connect (ToutApp) to improve outreach, consolidate time performing administrative tasks, have more automated and personalized inbound, and outbound engagements. Also, we used to track outbound activities in Salesforce.
  • Engagement Tracking(Open Rate/Reply count)
  • Basic Cadences to improve Sales Outreach Strategy
  • Possibility to schedule emails
  • It doesn't have its own dialer, which is a considerable gap since calls are a huge part of outreach.
  • User Interface is confusing
  • Bugs, Bugs, Bugs
  • Marketo Sales Connect (ToutApp) is useful if you are starting your journey with Sales Enablement tools and get it for free(or very cheap).
  • But it just has too many gaps. The user interface is confusing, just like Marketo Sales Connect (ToutApp). You continuously need to monitor the health of the system since bugs happen almost every day. Not having a dialer is a considerable gap as well, because sales cadences/campaigns can't be only email-based.
  • There is no way to automate adding people to cadence. You still need to do in manually. So, overall, Marketo Sales Connect (ToutApp) is just overpriced Email-to-Salesforce application.

We currently use ToutApp across the organization to drive prospecting into potential leads. This software allows us to avoid a lot of the manual labor associated with the building and launching of marketing/sales outreach campaigns
  • Tracking.
  • Campaign management.
  • SFDC integration.
  • Adding new prospects to a campaign can be a real chore and oftentimes these new leads will get lost and out of sequence.
  • Logging tasks in SFDC.
  • A/B testing of templates is not available.
It is appropriate for email-only campaigns. Less appropriate for when you would like to add prospecting calls to a campaign.

ToutApp is being used by the sales department as a prospecting tool to add prospective clients on email campaigns. It helps save reps time by simply adding people into an email cadence and not having to worry about sending out separate emails. It's a quick and easy way to get your prospecting message in front of a big audience.
  • It's very easy to set up an email campaign. You can even add attachments to the emails you send out.
  • Easily view if a prospect has opened an email and identify which step they are in the sequence.
  • Out-of-the-box integrations with many other sales tools.
  • The user interface seems to be lagging compared to other tools I've utilized.
  • The back-end analytics are very basic.
I find ToutApp to be a decent tool for email distribution, especially for prospecting. If you're looking for a marketing tool that will distribute your newsletter or marketing material I'd look for another tool.

We use ToutApp to track our outbound sales engagement emails. It helps automate the general emailing process and enables us to report on the success rates of various email templates. The entire sales organization is using Tout.
  • ToutApp puts all of your email engagement in one interface, making it easy to access your book of work.
  • ToutApp gives you the ability to see real-time email engagement from your prospects.
  • ToutApp syncs with your Salesforce account to track all of your outreach in your CRM.
  • Reporting is clunky and challenging to use at times. They were recently purchased by Marketo, so I'm hopeful that Marketo will be able to address some of these concerns.
  • The ToutApp interface is not the most intuitive and does not provide a deeper understanding/analysis of the data.
  • The ToutApp integration with Outlook has created intermittent problems in usability/access.
ToutApp is ideally suited for an Individual Contributor role that is looking for added control over their sales engagement processes. In my experience, there are better tools on the market that more seamlessly/easily give sales rep control over their book of business.

It is used within sales. It is heavily used to run campaigns, track emails, and measure messaging. I use it daily in my prospecting efforts in order to reach out to new prospects and measure the success of my messaging, see open rates, see when my messages are being viewed, etc.
  • Tracks open rates
  • Gmail integration to help see who is opening what, when
  • Running campaigns and syncing those contact points into Salesforce
  • Links will randomly stop working in sent emails. [It's a] Bug that has constantly re-appeared.
  • Calling with ToutApp is pretty useless when it comes to integration and doesn't show a phone call being done in Salesforce
  • Doesn't pull a signature from Gmail - so I have to update within ToutApp itself every time.
Very effective for sales positions or any position where it would be useful to save time in typing up emails. Very good for tracking emails and campaigns. I wouldn't consider it useful in situations where very few emails are being sent - or you are planning to have very tailored emails every single time.

  • Managing people effectively in extension programmes is a skill that requires constant planning and development. An extension program can enable the manager to devise strategies, make decisions, and implement action in sales. Email management is concerned with the optimum attainment of organizational goals and objectives with and through other people. However, all sales professionals of organizations face the same challenge: to manage one's time, objectives, and resources in order to accomplish tasks and implement ideas. Tout was used across the whole sales organization. ToutApp Works for You at Every Stage of the Sales Cycle. Our growth numbers since using ToutApp went from $0 to $10 million in the pipeline. And so in terms of measuring productivity gains, it’s huge.
  • Fully integrated into Gmail, Outlook, Microsoft Exchange, Salesforce and other major CRMs.
  • Upload best performing sales messaging, sales enablement collateral and marketing assets into a shared sales playbook.
  • Drive Consistency & Productivity.
  • Deploy a streamlined sales playbook so your Sales reps exceed quota and close more deals.
  • Increase Your Pipeline.
  • Predictably build more pipeline, whether you’re selling to SMB or Fortune 500.
  • Wow.... well, it can be very difficult to navigate and you can only email a limited # of recipients at a time, which means you have to do your blast in batches. It also is very clunky. I spend more time trying to figure out how to use the tool than I do seeing any measurable results.
  • Really dig into the level of support your users will receive, and ask about where the product is headed. Also, ask for a sandbox and have a variety of field users experience the software and give feedback.
  • I dislike the analytics and the overall "clunkiness" of the UI/UX. Both seem to be very glitchy at times and within the analytics, it does not get very customizable. You can only see up to a specific level.
We are solving our small sales team problem. I am the only SDR in the company and Tout helps me manage, send and follow up with many of my leads automatically. Tout is more focused on “success or failure” of emails than Yesware is. They are going in different directions – as you can see that they’ll probably have some features from one another.

Toutapp is currently used by a handful of salespeople within our company. It is not the "official" prospecting tool, but a few of us purchase it on our own.

From a business perspective, Tout allows me to gather contact information and organize it within Toutapp, then I'm able to automate outreach efforts as well as see analytics on which efforts are working and which are not.
  • Allows automated emails to show up as a connected thread in the prospect's inbox
  • Niko browser add on makes gathering contact info easy
  • Ability to list and group contacts helps keep your messaging relevant
  • Toutapp doesn't currently sync with Microsoft Dynamics, this is the number one reason we didn't adopt the program as a department
  • Due to not syncing with Microsoft Dynamics, contact info is stuck in a silo and is difficult to move from Toutapp to the CRM
I've used toutapp heavily to send out automated invitations and follow up reminders for webcasts we host. The tool has helped me win the last three sign up contests.

It's also really helpful as a dialer.

Our sales team uses toutapp to track emails either with or without using a template. This helps up to verify recipients are opening our emails and if they have clicked on the links provided, as well as the number of replies we received. Using the templates and sharing with other team members is a nice feature.
  • Tracking the analytics of emails sent, how many people, how many views, replies and clicks
  • Creating templates to use sorted by category which sync with outlook for ease of use
  • Command center that shows a drop down of each email sent sorted by date and time
  • Live feed to see who is opening the email, from device type to location and across how many devices
  • Setting up a campaign seemed fairly simple, importing contacts from disc.org to SalesForce and from SalesForce to a group in toutapp. Setting up each day with whichever tasks ie: Day 1 send email (template selected) day 2 call, send email 2 Day 3 Send LinkedIn invite Day 4 call and email. There is an area to select send manually or automatically. I selected manually, I will decide when to send. Something went wrong and I sent three emails to 30 contacts within minutes of each other totaling 90 emails.
  • Toutapp has a failure a few times a week and it is discouraging to not be able to count on the analytics.
  • Toutapp analytics count multiple replies from the same original email (conversations back and forth) it would be nice to have a tracking system for unique replies.
  • Unable to track who the email was forwarded to or if it was forwarded to, only that it was opened from several devices at several locations.

We use ToutApp throughout our sales departments. It helps speed up the sales cycle by identifying which prospects/customers are viewing our emails.
  • Easily integrates into Outlook and Salesforce
  • Very user-friendly
  • Real time tracking
  • Sometimes formatting in ToutApp doesn't translate perfectly into Outlook.
  • The location where emails are opened is deceptive because it doesn't reflect the actual location of the individual.
ToutApp is well suited in a sales environment where it's important to understand how engaged a prospect is.

We use it to send email cadences to prospects. We write industry specific pitches with several follow up emails and have them go out on a schedule a few days apart.
  • easy to change templates
  • the price point is attractive and they will sell you one license unlike SalesLoft
  • Fairly intuitive
  • Frequently has outages and does not always track emails
  • Service is via email and is on west coast time so If I have an issue at 9.30 AM in NYC it will not get fixed
  • Edit button is hidden behind non subscribe
Good if you are on a budget but there are more robust and reliable tools out there

Our sales team TRIES to use it to send automated emails.
  • Tout does nothing well.
  • Room improvement? They can start by scrapping the app and starting from scratch. ToutApp is by far the worst app I've ever used. It's riddled with bugs and constantly breaks, and the UI / UX is horrible. Avoid at all costs.
  • I've spent dozens of hours on the phone with Toutapp support trying to get their app to work. The list of bugs is too long to list here, but here are a few...1) the app will fail to send emails 2) The review screen doesn't properly display making it impossible to review emails prior to sending them 3) Pagination is broken in several places 4) The app won't fully load often times....it gets stuck in the loading state and never resolves. 5) Team mgmt is a nightmare 6) Etc.
ToutApp is well suited for sales reps who like to spend their time yelling at their computer screen, and / or on the phone with Tout's support department. It's not at all appropriate for reps that are looking for a sales automation tool that actually works.

I used and oversaw the usage of ToutApp in my previous job. We used it to help with our outbound sales with our business development reps to email leads, follow up, and close deals. It was a great way to manage the whole outbound sales cycle for our company. It was also very helpful because we had a very lengthy sales cycle that would last sometimes between 9-12 months.
  • Easy to use
  • Saves me time
  • Helps me oversee my teams
  • Keeps track of all leads and prospects
  • Not very good reporting
  • Not a good mobile experience
  • Not as robust as HubSpot
For a smaller company or someone who wants to focus exclusively on sales, ToutApp would be a good option. It has a lot of the features you need to create a successful sales team. Follow up is key when it comes to sales and ToutApp helps you stay on top of all of the leads and prospects.
