Overall Satisfaction with 7Sheep

We use 7Sheep to manage the large list of clients and potential clients we have. We also use it as a "consultants/freelancers" database. We also use 7Sheep to send out news alerts or newsletters.

We also implement 7Sheep for clients with their own accounts and we complete drip campaigns and trigger notifications. We also use it to manage free events.

  • A wide variety of triggers that are very simple to set up mean that I have a lot of flexibility with the automation. I also use it to keep in communication with my consultants and freelancers and have some processes set up in there (like reminders) which is great.
  • 7Sheep provides support not just for the digital inbound marketer - in fact, we are using it for communications and feedback loops. The form builder means that we can also have quite complex surveys, questionnaires, registration forms etc. Being able to link forms back to the original contact database gives me an easy and 360° view of interaction from my contacts.
  • As a European consultancy firm we cater to clients with more than 1 working language. I'm happy to recommend 7Sheep to clients who need to be able to have multi-lingual campaigns and feedback loops. Everything can be translated to be presented in different languages. Happy that it is stored all in the same place.
  • Repositioning of fields with drag and drop in a form would be fantastic!
  • The translation interface for form fields could be improved.
  • Easier report builder would be nice.
  • 7Sheep has had a remarkably positive impact on my daily work and that of my clients. I am happy to report that we see in every team an increase in efficiency.
  • I am also able to more quickly respond and automate far more targeted responses so that our customer service is improving.
  • As a consultancy, high volume lead conversion is not necessarily the target, however I have sent high volume campaigns out through 7Sheep and seen great conversions and a far easier interaction.
  • HubSpot,Act-On
As a partner agency for 7Sheep I have chosen them because it is the software that we as a consulting firm and the SMEs that we represent need.
This is great for smaller teams. They market themselves as 1-10 member teams and I think that's a great guideline. There are a lot of alternatives for the enterprise teams out there. I wanted to combine 7Sheep with Hootsuite for social media management, and my own CRM etc. If you are looking for all the bells and whistles and a one-stop-shop for marketing software, this is not the software for you. On the other hand I like that I can have my best-of-breed apps for each area of my work.
