Overall Satisfaction with Zendesk Sell (formerly Base CRM)

Tracks all of our sales leads. Multiple prospects can be related to their company and deals can be organized by a salesperson. The notes feature provides an area to store information not found in emails. Salespeople don't need to call each other to get details of a deal. Everything is in Zendesk Sell for easy access.

Pros

  • Splits deals by sales person.
  • Total possible revenue in the pipeline.
  • Store all email in one deal, regardless of source.

Cons

  • Creation of a deal from outlook (add-in).
  • Add tasks to outlook calendar.
  • Summary display deals by stage.
  • Automated leads from paper lists to data lists.
  • Reduced time needed for sales meetings. All details already in Zendesk Sell. No need to discuss.
The contact management system is better and the association between contacts and deals is a big improvement. Tracking emails in addition to notes is an improvement.

Reached out to support when started using Zendesk Sell. They provided a remote session to review our specific needs and explain how to get the program to work for us.
Zendesk Sell works best for deals that involve many points of contact and takes a long time to close. It may not be as necessary for a quicker sales cycle.
