Overall Satisfaction with SharpSpring

We use SharpSpring for our lead generation and lead management. It is used by everyone in our company. Since we have a small nucleus of salaried employees and other 1099 independent contractors, the per-seat model of other platforms didn't make sense for us, so we went with SharpSpring.
The contact management is used extensively by our salespeople that keep track of their prospects. The lead scoring helps focus on the prospects who are highly motivated and most likely to purchase. With the Visual Workflow feature, it makes it easy to build landing pages and create our funnels. The Perfect Audience feature is the retargeting process which is great to have in the app.
  • Track and score leads and their engagement
  • Dynamic emails alleviate repetitive creation and populating emails to individuals
  • I would like a integrated SMS function in the Virtual Workflow, although it integrates with tons on SMS providers
  • I would love to see more email templates that are rich in images, although I can upload anything I want....
  • It has eliminated time wasting on unproductive leads, by SharpSpring's using lead scoring.
  • It has allowed me to easily create my funnels using the Visual Workflow Feature. I had 4 apps that I used previously to accomplish this.
I have previously used Goldmine and Basecamp, but that was quite a while ago. I can't imagine that they even come close to SharpSpring.
I looked at Hubspot and Salesforceprior to purchasing SharpSpring, but both were price per seat. Because we have 1099 contractors, the cost per seat model didn't make sense for us. Hence we went with SharpSpring
I really like the functionality of lead scoring, finding all my lead views of my digital assets, and the tracking of tasks. The email templates are great and I love the functionality of sending custom emails.
The social listening is great, as I am an old guy - 60 something- and I don't look at our social media much. This gives me a great view of what's going on there. I really like the social calendar to schedule my postings. Set it and forget it. Nice.
