Overall Satisfaction with SharpSpring
I use all aspects of the platform. I use it for CRM purposes, to track opportunities, potential revenue, close times and lead scores. I also use it for all aspects of marketing - building full campaigns using forms, landing pages, email marketing, social media and all the automation tools. I also support clients in the same endeavors - from consulting on and building an automated email drip campaign that uses forms, landing pages and additional media to keeping current customers engaged and encouraging them to renew contracts.
- Customer Service is second-to-none. Incredibly quick response/resolution times to help requests (often 15-30 minutes). Very thorough and helpful specialists in every area of the platform are there to help anytime you need.
- Thorough and detailed training. You never have to worry that you won't be able to learn the platform! You get a dedicated person that you schedule virtual meetings with to learn each and every piece of the software. They start with whatever is most important to you, the client.
- They actually listen to clients. Clients are able to make suggestions for adds/upgrades to the platform, and SharpSpring actually listens. They have a detailed system that allows them to track how many clients are suggesting similar changes, and they rank/roll them out accordingly. Not only that - they communicate regularly to let users know what upgrades are coming when.
- It does everything you could want. It's a CRM, it's all aspects of marketing (email, landing pages, forms, media storage, social integration) and it truly tracks each and every lead - where they came from, every time they've interacted, what they've interacted with, when/if they become an opportunity, or a client. Used correctly, it truly allows you to see where your clients are coming from so you can focus your efforts on what works best.
- Email/Landing page designer isn't super intuitive. It's not that hard to learn, but it's certainly not the easiest tool I've ever used for designing. I almost can't even list this as a con, though, because if I get stuck, the help desk is AMAZING and FAST. Even if I need help updating code. Side note: if you know HTML, you will probably love the ability to toggle between what it looks like to leads and the code.
- It has helped me get more clients.
- It has helped me add more value for my clients that use SharpSpring.
- It keeps my marketing/sales efforts organized.
I have used HubSpot in the past. I really don't have anything against HubSpot as far as features it provides. However, it has become completely unaffordable for small businesses, which are my target clients. They may be able to afford a watered-down version of HubSpot, but they'd have to pay extra to get all the features they can get for a fraction of the cost with SharpSpring.
