SharpSpring is far more powerful than Keap but it is pretty similar. There is also the agency resell value behind SharpSpring that Keap has in a smaller scale, but definitely not as in-depth.

Using SharpSpring

5 - Most people are sales folk that use SharpSpring to keep track of their leads. Our operations manager and one other operations person also use the system. They create the landing pages, emails, and other such things for sales folk to use.
5 - SharpSpring is not overly complicated, but we did find more independent people tend to do better with getting through the training ad regularly using the tool. We found that when we required people to get certified and ran them through the process they were reluctant to do so, but that seemed to be a staffing issue. As we pull in new members we are seeing a smooth transition from training into usage.
  • Sales Funnel Tracking
  • Regular Email Connections w/ Leads
  • Understanding how we won or lost a lead
  • Landing pages specifically for Google Ads.
  • Regular client updates with Bunn Brands as a whole.
  • Using training videos to train client employees on SharpSpring use.
  • Hoping an app comes along for android.
  • Allowing salespeople to send smart mail which we have not fully set up.
  • Building different chat bots for different places on the website.
I really like SharpSpring, but may be closing doors soon. This is not because of SharpSpring at all, but due to the fact that I have taken another job.
