Nutshell is built for relationship-focused B2B organizations that are tired of juggling separate sales and marketing tools and don’t want to pay a full time admin to manage the software.
Breakcold is addressed to SMBs & early-stage startups. Here's some examples of our customers: - digital marketing agencies - staffing agencies - business consultants - account executives / S/BDRs
Nutshell is great for organizing customer database. The ability to set reminders is a great function.
Also, the loss of historical record of communication for a Contact when you delete an old email is problematic. We are forced to retain all of these old emails and this can create confusion.
Nutshell has improved my overall sales. When my sells are bigger, boss is happy and at the end I'm happy too ( especially with my sallary ;) ).
Data uploads can be catastrophic if not done correctly.
Also, the customer service has been great. Not only are they quick to respond, but it's nice to know they take their users' suggestions and implement them if they are an improvement to the product.
I think more training on set up, warnings issued at set up and common pitfalls at set up would avoid harmful bulk uploads making irreversible upload mistakes.
Ease of use, easy integration, great customer support, easy to learn and solid documentation, and many more.
Our sales staff was apprehensive at first as there were lots of bells & whistles and a little worn out with the previous jumps from one CRM to the other.
I also like the educational aspect. Lot's of how-to videos, flow charts and best practices.I am impressed how well it integrates with all other tools out there.
We are missing integration with other social platforms such as Facebook, Xing and Instagram.
My experience has been good, the software is very easy to use and with good support. It has helped me a lot in the prospecting process.
What I really don't like about Breakcold is the lack of a more extensive user interface customization option.
The best feature is the ability to add an unlimited number of team members, enabling them to assist with the work. M also a big fan of the stuff the founder shares.
We've always seen LI as the place to spend our time connecting and prospecting. But before our efforts were always chaotic and hard to track (we created spreadsheets, but never really used them well).
We started using Breakcold as one of the tools when we launched our Leadgen program internally (before that we had to outsource). We very happy with the quality of leads, customer support was amazing.
Can't think of any right now, we're still learning new tips and tricks that they have up their sleeves.
Andrew B.: Hi, my name is Andrew and I work in strategy and business development for a handful of consulting clients, mostly small businesses up to 50 to 75 employees. And I would give Nutshell a strong five-star rating, primarily because it's been a stellar resource in helping these companies get up and running to formalize their lead gen and sales and marketing processes and helping them stay on top of leads, not letting them fall through the cracks. We tried a few other software products, for example, HubSpot CRM and Salesforce and Pipeline and SugarCRM. And those tools were, although they were good tools, they were overly complex. They were overly too deep and too many bells and whistles, too many features and functionality that we really didn't need as a small company. The reason I chose Nutshell and then my clients chose Nutshell, and the reason that we've stuck with them is really because they not only helped us get up and running very quickly with very high-touch support, but they have a great ramping up process where they really help you get deeper and wider with the product as you grow and as your needs grow. It was incredibly easy, far easier than I thought, to get started with each of my clients. From getting their data in to massaging that data to get it to where we wanted it, to creating reports, to setting up notifications and reminders, it was all very, very easy and intuitive. For companies that are considering using Nutshell versus other software products, I would probably take a hard look at what you really need today and what you might need in six months or up to 18 or 24 months. I think that Nutshell has everything that a small company needs for really the foreseeable future, unless you're on a serious rocketship growth trend. But I think that most other software products probably have too much and you end up paying for a lot of that that you never use. So I would consider what you need today, and whether Nutshell has what you need for the foreseeable future. I think you'll find that Nutshell has what most companies need for that period of time.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
