- You can add a result code to track your call history.
- The search tool makes it faster to bring up contacts.
- And of course the map is very cool.
- Duplicate accounts: there should be a way to merge duplicates so multiple salespeople are not calling on the same prospects.
- Calendar is a little cumbersome.
- When searching for contact and it's not the correct project name, we should be able to arrow back and it should show the list again without having to search all over again.

- Would love to see a mobile app - so that I can monitor ongoing campaigns on the go. Periodically questions arise that need my immediate attention - would be nice to pull up the dash board to see what is going on real time from my phone.
- in-person training
VanillaSoft is a CRM and Dialer. It has solved the problem my industry is facing due to the Covid-19 situation. I work mainly with seniors which made me unable to leave my house for 2 months. I was able to transition my entire business online.
- The ability to create rules makes it very easy to prioritize my best leads.
- The CRM works seamlessly with the dialer to automate calling.
- The CRM is a great way to manage customer relations and keep track of paperwork that needs completed.
- I wish VanillaSoft could hotkey my call dispositions. This might be a feature, but I haven't figured it out.
- VanillaSoft should include the call recording feature free of charge.
- VanillaSoft does not automatically dial out on Chrome requiring me to use Mozilla Firefox.
- Intellectual routing
- Text and email templates
- One-click dialer
- Requires 2-3 logins before access
- Sometimes text alerts don't show
- Learning curve in the beginning can take a week or two to get used to the software
- VanillaSoft makes follow up easy and seamless. I live off of the notes and reminders!
- I inherit accounts from other reps and I can hit the ground running on those accounts.
- I used Vanilla Soft in the early 2000s. I just came back to it last year, no real training needed.
- I would like user-defined callback time-frames. Maybe the company I work for set these. The user needs the option! I can try a cold-call again in 2 days, (often too soon) or 7 days (on the same day of the week that I already couldn't make a connection) or go to another screen and set up an official callback (which gets me excited for no reason, because the callback is being used for call spacing, and not a true follow up). Let me tell the system how many days I want to space my call so I can quickly move on to the next call.
- Main numbers have ext box, but add-on numbers you're referred to DON'T. I end up putting extensions in the contact's TITLE just to keep it in a visible place. It can be difficult getting an extension. If you don't see that you got it in the previous call, you lose a lot of steam, and sales can be grueling enough as it is.
- Maybe a place for highlights about a client. Notes age out with newer notes. Critical info often gets lost in the string of transactions.
- Appointment Scheduling
- Priority Queue
- Auto-dialing Feature
- User-friendly
- SMS Feature for Australian Users
- More Free Internal Storage for Documents
- Time tracking and performance tracking.

VanillaSoft Scorecard Summary
What is VanillaSoft?
VanillaSoft is a solution for managing inside sales and lead management processes. The vendor says typical CRM software requires manual intervention and decision making by salespeople before they ever pick up the phone or send an email.

The vendor’s value proposition is that data-driven workflows and automated functionality let salespeople focus on selling -- not operating software. According to the vendor, efficiency-boosting features include:
- progressive auto dialing
- real-time, next-best-lead routing
- logical branch scripting
- voice mail drop
- email - templates, nurturing, blast
- lead scoring
- inbound web lead capture
- live monitor & eavesdrop
- call recording
Additionally, the vendor says that with VanillaSoft, typical clients see a 94% increase in productivity and that customers also report an overall improvement in follow-up attempts and response times to leads. A free trial is available.
