Isabel Cristina C
Founder
3.0

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.

Jason C
Owner
5.0

Speaker 1: Hi, my name's Jason. I'm an agency owner, and I give Telegram a five. For more videos like this, click below. I brought Telegram on into my business because I started having international clients and actually brought on an international partner, and you're constantly in communication there, and phone isn't going to cut it for texting back and forth and all of that. So, it was suggested by my partner overseas and it became a really quick, easy, fantastic solution for that communication. One thing that I love about Telegram is the cross platform. It's all synced up instantly, I can jump from my iPad to my phone, to my desktop, to my laptop, wherever I am and whatever I'm using, it's fantastic. And then, to be able to group everybody is wonderful, so I can have these isolated conversations but still communicate something to the group, all at once. Telegram was super easy. I mean, my business partner said, "Hey, use this." So, I knew, if I had any questions for it, I could ask him, but I never really had any, it's really self-explanatory on some of the intricate features or something, of muting a conversation, even that I just sort of dug around a little bit and found really easily. I would definitely recommend Telegram to business owners trying to just have a quick messaging platform for your team or even just one other person, especially with that overseas component, it's great. But really anyone that you're trying to communicate with on an ongoing basis. Group folks, safety, security has been good with it that I've seen so far and really easy to use, not only for myself, but if I need to get somebody new up and going on it. That's been really fast as well.
