-We needed a solution to be easy to use point and click and did not require any setup.

Awesome for those who prospect a lot!
- Track opens
- Tracks clicks
- Dashboard
- Some companies have the ability to block the tracking, would love for Yesware to be able to get around this
- Integrates with Outreach but why then two solutions?
- Make sure you don’t have internal toggled on because it can confuse you as to who opened or clicked.
Email tracking and templates at its best!
- Email tracking
- Email templates
- Mail merges
- Not a fan of the transition to campaigns from mail merges. The idea is a good one but in practice it is much more clunky and often causes mistakes.
- I would love for templates to be smarter. Give the option for if-then templates.
- colleague tracking is annoying because it cannot specify which recipient opened the email if you sent to multiple colleagues.
A must have tool to improve sales results!
- Provides insights on which subject lines are resulting in the highest open rates
- Allows us to send proposals or any attachment and get granular data as to how many times it was viewed, how long they viewed a particular slide, etc.
- Track engagement
- Sending to multiple recipients: No insights as to which specific individual opened, clicked, etc
- Can’t track for some organizations that block the ability to do so (not really something Yesware can control)
- Direct dials from email inbox
Less appropriate for internal tracking (sales people don’t care to see who viewed something if sending internally)
Yesware's Email Tracking and Analytics Are A Must
- Email Tracking Notifications
- Create and Consolidate Templates
- Providing Email Analytics
- When you forward an email to a coworker, it marks it as if a client opened the email (skews data)
- CRM Integration
- Limited Fonts
Great tool for tracking emails
- Email tracking
- Reporting
- Sometimes shows a false ‘message has been read by the receiver‘ because they use a firewall.
- Should be able to use it seamlessly on mobile phone.
Good for smaller teams
- Sharing templates was relatively easy with the platform.
- Controlling mass email sends - it is an easy setting to toggle on and off so that people can or cannot send emails to a mass distribution list.
- Sharing templates with specific groups - this is something Yesware did well where you could designate specific folders for templates which made it easy for the team to find the most relevant templates.
- Salesforce integration - this left a lot to be desired and reporting between the two was pretty non-existent.
- Reporting - This is a massive issue because the reporting was not only difficult, but a lot of data was lacking in terms of being actionable.
- Limited functionality for cadence creation. It was more used for templates, which made it hard for the team to use to maintain engagement.
Yesware is a solid buy
- Drip campaigns.
- Email/attachment tracking.
- None that I can think of!
Volume-based emails with a personalized touch!
- Email tracking - Excellent accuracy when providing location/time opened.
- Mail merge - Easily send hundreds of target email campaigns and track opens + link activity.
- Limited font styles in mail merge campaigns.
- Unable to track if the email was opened by a firewall (some emails pop automatically so it is hard to gauge if emails popped within a few moments of sending are actually by the user).
Say Yes to Yesware
- Yesware makes it really easy to understand if a prospect is responsive or ignoring you.
- Yesware is a very simple interface and user-friendly.
- Yesware allows you to write emails to prospects and effectively schedule them out.
- Yesware does lag when trying to schedule emails.
- If you forward your emails to colleagues it counts them as people opening it.
- Yesware templates when saving them don't always save on the first attempt.
Great for sales, but needs some work
- Immediate notifications.
- Allows you to track when an attachment was opened.
- Allows you to create templates.
- Attaching files to Yesware has to be done one at a time. Very time-consuming.
- The notification for when a person opens an email isn't always accurate.
- The templates are very janky and take time to format.
- Easy to set up and navigate.
- Helpful for tracking email opens and engagement with content.
- Ability to see the geo and device-type that the recipient is using.
- Sometimes the formatting can be frustrating.
- If your Salesforce data includes duplicate contacts it can be difficult to make sure communication is logged on the correct record.
- Sync emails into SalesForce
- Book a Time to avoid back and fourth emails to set up meetings
- Sync Events into Salesforce from gmail calendar
- Track Opened emails
- Campaign reporting. Being able to see where individuals are at the in the campaigns, how campaign templates are doing from a productivity standpoint
- Auto checking invalid email boxes inside of Salesforce
An essential tool for sales teams
- Ability to upload an entire excel sheet/CSV of contacts. Huge for avoiding to have to upload individuals manually.
- The multi-touch function, where you can send a prospect multiple emails, automatically, throughout the course of weeks/months and keep them engaged. Super helpful.
- The scheduling functionality. Some people check email first thing in the morning and are extremely busy during the day. The ability to schedule an email to go out at, for example, 7AM - is extremely effective and gives you a chance to make a touchpoint at a time when you otherwise wouldn't have been able to.
- I used to think that a LinkedIn Sales Navigator integration would be ideal, and then they rolled it out!
- One thing would be to find a way to auto-populate my signature line into the merge as opposed to copy/pasting it every time (but not the end of the world).
Yesware - very solid tool for engaging with prospects, partners, and sales pipeline
- Email tracking, read receipts
- Lead/contact management
- Planned and automated cadences
- Personalizable and shareable templates
- We don't use Yesware's dialer tool because it doesn't measure up to the quality or speed of their competitors
- Yesware has kept on a legacy tool, 'MailMerge' which is essentially duplicative to the main tool 'Campaigns', but has one neat feature that allows us to 'CC' another recipient, which is useful we want to reach out to two people at the same account
- Yesware makes sure that users don't add the same prospect to multiple email/call campaigns, but it does not offer that safety measure across users, so theoretically, two sales/marketing reps can be reaching out to the same person
Yesware is not as well suited for large-scale marketing operations that don't want to take the time to personalize their outreach. It is not a competitor for Marketo, but is more of a personal tool for individual reps to follow up with their leads and contacts.
Yesware direct user point of view
- Dashboards with open, clicks, downloads, and replies help teams track the effectiveness
- Real-time alerts increase contact rates and lets reps know when to reach out.
- Adding custom fields and mapping to a CSV file allowed for a more personal touch in mass communication
- Not being able to change subject lines for email campaigns per recipient impacted open rates
- Suited for teams sending a lot of email campaigns where one-offs would exhaust resources.
- Less appropriate if you are trying to nurture recipients based off of actions or track digital footprint.
- If you have a big sales org and use Gmail the team will love being able to insert templates or run follow up campaigns to re-engage opportunities.
- Ability to send staged emails and replies to previous emails
- Sales found the per-person reporting useful.
- Mass reporting was severely lacking for data analysis
- It was difficult to honor people's requests to unsubscribe.
- one-to-few email campaigns
- targeted sales efforts
- an email automation platform
- marketing teams
Yesware Rocks!
It helps us do email blasts, see when people open our emails as well as manage email responses & appointments.
- Alert you when an email has been opened by the recipient
- Allows you to include available calendar appointment times into your email correspondance
- Trackability
- Ease of creating campaigns (series of emails pre-planned for delivery over a period of time)
- Allow my appointment setters to use available calendar appointment slots for their sales partner
- Mass Mail Merge - you are able to send scheduled emails to 200 contacts at once, with templates that you saved previously.
- Click to call - calling functionality that we can just click the number and it connects to the sales reps cell phone which then logs automatically to Salesforce and you can type notes while on the call which also gets saved into the database.
- Templates - quickly save and organize emails for later use
- Tracking - being able to see the time, location, and action of your prospects makes outreach much more targeted
- Templates - more ways to add pictures and videos and not have an error
- I would also increase the limit of 200 people on the mail merge
- Touchpoints which is a more sophisticated Mail Merge feature is NOT simple to use and the UEX needs to be dramatically increased
- Tracking when you cc someone is not accurate. The tool can only track effectively when you send the email to one person only.
Good email tracking & reporting for what I need
- Email Tracking - From opens/forwards/replies, it helps provide visibility.
- Templates - If templates are working based on high hit rates, you can save them and use them in the future.
- Reporting - Seeing how many opens/replies occurs gives me an idea as to what needs immediate follow up.
- I'm not sure I understand other pieces of the technology enough to know what else to integrate. For what I use it for, it works quite well. There are probably opportunities for wider engagement based on my persona/use-case.
