Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Salesflare is currently being used as my own personal CRM for my consulting clients. Our agency has a full features CRM to manage leads and clients but for a single user, nothing beats Salesflare as far as ease of use, integrations, and overall performance. Salesflare seamlessly integrates with my Gsuite account allowing me to use it without having to change the way I work on a daily basis and keeps track of leads, follow-ups and potential deals for me with little work on my part.

Pros and Cons

Salesflare integrates with Gsuite (as well as many other email platforms) allowing me to still use Gsuite as my main communication tool but still get the full value out of the Salesflare CRM
Salesflare literally integrates with everything
Salesflare takes care of many tasks automatically for you like contact imports as well as meeting and call management

It works wonderfully as a CRM for freelancers, consultants and small teams but feels like it would become more difficult to integrate with larger teams
Sometimes have issues with email syncing with missing emails or having to reconnect my email to Salesflare
Emails are sent from the app using their own servers, I would prefer to send via my own email system (Gsuite) for better delivery

Return on Investment

I save dozens of hours each month managing new clients and leads, Salesflare easily pays for itself each month
Between the great mobile app and integration with Gsuite, Salesflare is the perfect CRM for the mobile user. I no longer feel chained to a desktop to manage my leads.
I used to have a Love-Hate relationship with CRMs but now actually enjoy using a CRM since using Salesflare and feel like I actually realize the value of using a CRM.

Alternatives Considered

Pipedrive

Pipedrive was another option but I chose Salesflare for the seamless integration into my regular everyday workflow as well as its ability to integrate with just about any app you can think of. It plays nice with all of my other apps and makes using a CRM actually fun. I love the fact it works inside my Gsuite account and automatically pulls data from Gsuite into Salesflare.

Other Software Used

SharpSpring, LeadFuze

Likelihood to Recommend

I have always struggled with using CRMs. Either they try and remove you from your everyday workflow or they are full of features you don't want/use. Salesflare integrates exactly the way you would want a CRM to integrate and it plays nice with just about any other software you use for your business. Salesflare may not be as feature-rich as some other CRMs but it beats out just about everyone when it comes to seamless integration, ease of use and overall enjoyment of using a CRM.

Hey Gary! Thanks for your review :) I'm glad you're loving Salesflare. About the cons you mentioned: Since you reviewed, we've been adding a ton of functionality for mid-size companies and a lot of them have been joining us in the past year, and we'll keep growing as our customers grow! Our email sync is native with Gmail (incl. Google Workspace / G Suite) and Office 365 / Outlook.com and extremely stable since around 2018. (If you're using some custom IMAP email inbox, it's always better to upgrade. But it looks like you're using Gmail already.) On the last point: we've never sent emails from our servers. They are sent from your own mailbox, which indeed makes that they are delivered better than - say - emails sent through Mailchimp. Plus they end up in the main inbox, not a promotions/other tab. And they look 100% like you sent them yourself.
