Overall Satisfaction with Apollo.io

Our team mainly markets our product using Instagram, sending influencers DMs before obtaining other information, such as emails, to send our product to them. When we cannot find influencers on Instagram, we use Apollo to identify relevant workers nationwide, including their emails and phone numbers. Apollo is convenient for us because it is similar to Shopify, automating emails we send to influencers and buyers so that neither party forgets to reach out and engage in conversation.

Pros

  • The search bar is convenient, accurate, and consistent.
  • Loading time is minimal.
  • Emails are always sent when requested and always indicate when they bounce.

Cons

  • Emails must be sent manually rather than automatically, i.e., when you save someone's contact information.
  • There could be more features available for the free and/or basic editions of Apollo.
  • Some of the tasks on onboarding do not get completed despite actual completion.
  • Increased closed-won revenue; fewer free samples because of ease of conversation.
  • More people on our team using Dialpad to phone customers regularly.
  • Increased outbound and inbound volume, such as a customer touring our facility two days ago.
Using Apollo has allowed our team to message influencers and other workers in the same place where we found them. The features and AI used in Apollo are similar to those in other programs we use, such as Shopify and ChatGPT, which quickly familiarize our workers with each feature and help them teach new employees efficiently.
Apollo helped us save time by rarely experiencing lag when uploading and generating information, although some computers may personally experience lag due to their memory limitations. Without using or paying for Apollo, we would have used other websites and Google to attempt to find potential customers and may have failed to obtain any emails or phone numbers.
Currently, our team is using Apollo's basic plan and is considering an upgrade, as certain features are blocked for most of us. However, the search engine is reliable, the emails' AI makes sense and doesn't require a lot of additional input from the user, and regular email updates remind us to check Apollo and find new people.
We use both Shopify and Apollo, but Shopify's ability to find new people's information is limited; we primarily use Shopify to track and manage product purchases. Apollo is more useful in contacting people personally, crafting AI-assisted emails, and constructing and programming more complex flow algorithms than Shopify can handle.

Anyone who needs marketing in their career will eventually have to use Apollo or a similar website. However, it is less suitable for use on a local level, as the database is broad and may not accurately represent the locations of individuals and companies. Similarly, using Apollo to recruit employees should be discouraged, since they may not be able to commute.
