Close vs Front: Which is a better fit?

Todd Q.: Hi, my name is Todd and I'm an owner. I would give Close.com a rating of five. For more reviews, please click below. Prior to using Close, we were using HubSpot. The reason we switched up HubSpot is it's a little more complex to get started. There are also a lot of other packages you had to buy to make it worthwhile. So I think we ended up switching because we wanted to get started with something more quickly and not have to have such a large capital outlay to get started. We chose Close because it's a lot faster to get started with than some of the other products we had tried. It was very easy to get productive very quickly. It was easy to start simply. Then as our business needs changed or grew, Close was able to grow with us. It was easy to have more advanced searches, more advanced ways of slicing and dicing the data that we needed to find. So it just helped us get started quickly and maintain our growth moving forward. Getting started with Close was very easy. It didn't require a lot of set up, so it was very quick for us to get up and running and get productive with it quickly. I think that's a big reason why we initially went with it because it didn't require all that time and effort setting it up. It was quick to start helping us without having to spend a lot of time on it. Don't feel the need to create lots of different types of opportunities or lead statuses, that kind of thing. Just get started and as simple as you can. Then as your needs or complexities grow, only then start worrying about classifying all your leads and information into all these different buckets because I think once you use it for a while, you'll start understanding the need for those different kinds of classifications. Just don't do it too soon.

Isabel C.: Hello. I am Isabel. I am the founder of my own company and I am rating Front in three. For more reviews, please look down below. Before trying Front, I had Meetingbird. It was a small plugin or add-on that allow me to schedule appointments through my email. I was in love with Meetingbird. Then I noticed that it was bought by Front. So I decided to try Front because of Meetingbird. The reason why I tried Front, besides of giving me the sense of our growing, fast growing and robust company, was that they allowed me to use the Meetingbird plugin, but also prepare the path for my growing company, because I see my company with a team bigger than right now. So I said, "I will do one learning curve and they will integrate all my team when it's time." Starting with Front was not that easy as I thought. It seems an intuitive app and I helped by email and with someone that reached me out and asked about my context and situation. What they warned me is that it was only for one person, it will be an overkill, as it ended up being. If you are considering trying Front, I will encourage you to do it if you are a team. If you are only you, it will be overwhelming. But Front, it's [Kaleed 00:02:00], it's fast growing. They are solid and their onboarding process is done by... They care, just that. But it will be with you in your growing process, but you have to start with a small team to give a shot to Front.
