Overall Satisfaction with Groove

When Groove is set up correctly it doesn't let you miss contacting your pipeline. When you get busy with some clients or just company projects, you can miss things. Groove automatically sends emails and texts to your pipeline per your parameters. Has made me more productive with less work.
  • Keeps me in touch with all prospects.
  • Helps me to eliminate non interested prospects faster.
  • Pipeline is more efficient.
  • It will report some contacts that nothing was sent so, my PC gets loaded.
  • Would like a lesson with examples. Would be great if I could get a one-on-one with a pro who could hear my needs and tailor a Groove for me.
  • Pipeline organization.
  • Better communication.
  • More touches.
  • I get an extra two-three more sales per month.
  • Helps me communicate better in more time zones.
What was set up was great. I know it can be used better.
Notifications could be better.

Evaluating Groove and Competitors

  • Other
I was not part of the decision to purchase it. To tell you the truth, that's a good thing. I wasn't a fan until I figured out how to use it for my pipepline. Groove did not relay some of its features.
Talk with those who are successful using groove and have more one on one sessions. Even make assignments.

Groove Implementation

Was not part of implementation. Was in place when I came on board witht the company
Not sure - I was not with company when implemented
  • I was not at company when Groove was implemented.

Groove Training

  • In-Person Training
It was okay. But, just the once. I had to figure it out with help of others on my team.

Configuring Groove

I would love to be able to set up my own templates. I know I'm supposed to be able to, but can't figure out.
Ask others who are successful.
