Pros

  • The support ist fast and has always a solution, the tool is great for cold outreach and the price is unbeatable.

  • One of my favorite features is the flexibility to run multiple campaigns as once and the smart sequence is awesome.

  • Ve tested many softwares for lead generation and sky lead is definitely the best of them. Skylead has all the features you need for lead generation and has some cool stuff.

  • Customer service is fantastic, response time is excellent, have sent through screenshots when I have hit a snag and they are all over it.

Cons

  • This program will set your lead generation on fire.

  • For me personalizing the sequensen is hard because you target so many people at once.

  • One of the things that did frustrate me was that when I started creating a smart sequence and got interrupted or had to do something else I couldn't save.

  • Bugs, inbox issues, leads going to sales nav inbox or linkedin inbox confused my clients.

"Great tool"

Pros: That the tool allows unlimited contacts with potential leads. Great tool for looking people for customer development.

Cons: With smaller audiences (targeting smaller groups) campaigns are not that effective (slow into contacting people and often finish the campaign to fast). Experienced some problem with downloaded audiences (some rules for CSV, that are not mentioned anywhere, unless you ask the support)

"the jack of all trades"

Overall: automated cross plattform marketing campaigns that offers you almost everything you wanna do.

Pros: I was looking for a tool to create crossplattform campaigns with highly individualization.Got this with Skylead. From profile view to invite to connect on linkedin, eventual opener message, the campaign proceeds with email, message or inmail reach outs, depending on the connection status and the availability of a leads email adress. This reach outs contain an individualized picture with the prename of the lead written on a cup of coffee I offer them in the picture. If a lead answers at some point of the campaign, I can easily put him back at any point manually that matches to his answer. I was able to increase my invite acceptance rate up to 40%.Email open rate is between 57% - 69% depending on the campaign path.So, yes I would recommmend skylead as it is the only tool that provides all of this features.

Cons: 1. There is no option to change a single outreach mail of a lead. This is a lemlist feature I really miss, beause of the following Problem:The standard email outreach of the campaign starts with Dear Mister or Mrs Smith. Some leads answer on linkedin using their/my prename. I´d like to be able to change those Email outreaches EASY to Dear Michael or Dear Kathrin. 2. Every time I login, I have to choose again my active Campaign again. (subjective inconvinient).3. Cancel Linkedin´s "invite to connect" after time X or number of invites Y doesn´t work properly.<<< still have to do this manually

Reasons for Choosing Skylead: - cross plattform option (Linkedin to Email)- multi campaign paths (if connected X, if not Y, if Email X, if not Y ...)- option to send individualized pictures (teihr names, profilpictures, websites) to each prospect.
Switched From: lemlist
Reasons for Switching to Skylead: Lemlist didn´t provide the option to create a good working cross plattform campaign and it´s ability to multiple campaign paths was almost zero.

"Linkedin Prospecting"

Overall: Trying to run Linkedin connection campaigns. Skylead makes this very easy.

Pros: Prospecting integration with Linkedin events and sales navigator is great!

Cons: UI dynamic display of the campaign is hard to use. Documentation is weak.

Reasons for Choosing Skylead: Linkedin connections are automatic. Other tools require manual Linkedin connection requests.

"Massive time saver! "

Overall: Customer service is fantastic, response time is excellent, have sent through screenshots when I have hit a snag and they are all over it. This has saved me a huge amount of time and there is no way that I could ever connect with 60 new people a day without this automation.

Pros: The campaign feature is my favourite, love the ease of putting it together and the fact that once I get a connection I know they will get another message unless they respond. However it is so quick and easy to add them back into the campaign. Skyleads is so simple to use, runs in the background which means I can go in once or twice a week to add people back into campaigns or transfer interested leads to our CRM to work on. This is a huge time saver and a great addition to lead gen tools.

Cons: The ability to add leads individually with the click of a button to Hubspot or SFDC would be extremely handy without having to add Zapier as another product to our list.

Alternatives Considered: Octopus CRM, ProspectIn, PhantomBuster and Dux-Soup
Reasons for Choosing Skylead: - Ease of use - 5 minutes to set up a campaign - Customer success - very helpful, useful resources and blogs on setting up campaigns - Automation doesn't stop after the first message - Time saving - Quality leads coming through - Cloud based
Switched From: Octopus CRM
Reasons for Switching to Skylead: Both products are good for bulk connections with a message however don't do campaigns as easily. I found them extremely time consuming to learn how to use. When LinkedHelper is running you can't do anything else on your laptop. I was using 2 laptops at one stage, downloading CSV's and uploading to our CRM. Octopus was a little sleeker but at the end of the day was just a "silver version" of LinkedHelper in my opinion. The learning curve is massive on both products and didn't pull the leads through that I needed, still required a huge amount of time spend in the product which I ended up abandoning and going directly to LI which was way more targeted.

"Spielwork Skylead review"

Overall: Very good! it is good to keep in mind that due to the many messages and replies, there is quite a bit of administrative work involved, which is not quite my thing!

Pros: that it saves me an unparalleled amount of time.

Cons: For me personalizing the sequensen is hard because you target so many people at once. Therefore, the messages seem robotized according to some prospects.

Switched From: Waalaxy
Reasons for Switching to Skylead: because you cannot send automated messages via linkedin

"Brilliant Lead Gen Solution - Finally! "

Overall: They are brilliant and great people. They are always available to support via zoom chat email, etc. and very responsive. Their whole team is very friendly solution orientated and very patience. Its an awesome product at a great value.

Pros: I really liked the integration of Linkedin and having the flexibility to create my own smart sequences. I also like the dashboard where I can easily monitor and review the metrics. Skylead also makes it easy to be able to message contacts directly from the dashboard which is much cleaner and easier than going into linked and doing it. The UI is easy to use and I am able to customize things as I like. They have really made it easy to manage campaigns and generate really targeted and convertible leads. One of my favorite features is the flexibility to run multiple campaigns as once and the smart sequence is awesome.

Cons: One of the things that did frustrate me was that when I started creating a smart sequence and got interrupted or had to do something else I couldn't save. There doesn't seem to be much flexibility to go back and edit certain parts of the campaign.

Reasons for Switching to Skylead: Customer service, prices, and just incredible support.

"Great Platform"

Pros: Full, rich features combined with a logical interface and 24 hour customer care. Easy to setup and manage. This platform has important features others are missing.

Cons: None so far - put on your shortlist for sure.

Alternatives Considered: Zopto and LinkedCamp
Reasons for Choosing Skylead: Each one of these had less features.

"Great Tool"

Overall: For now, great. If you can update the things I mentioned above, I would say best tool ever

Pros: The support ist fast and has always a solution, the tool is great for cold outreach and the price is unbeatable.

Cons: I would love if you could automate intelligent workflows in future. For example: InMail / Message 1 sent. If specific keyword exists (for example yes more infos, or yes I want) in reply and user replied - then answer Message 2 or 3.Also: same function in E-Mail OutreachIf InMail Accepted, thenIf InMail not accepted, thenI also would love if you can lower the price per seat (bulk discount) - for example after 5 seats + you get 20% on each seat or so

"Automate your LinkedIn connections & responses"

Pros: I like that I can manage this account directly through Skylead, I don't have to go to the LinkedIn interface.

Cons: It can be a little finicky to load up Sales Nav lists but once you get the hang of it, it's all good.

"EL potencial infinito de una de las mejores herramientas de prospección para la red LinkedIn"

Overall: La prospección B2B, basada en el proceso de captación de nuevos clientes a través de la red LinkedIn, sin duda es objetivo cumplido por Skylead. Es realmente grandioso lo que han logrado y ver cómo siguen actualizando funciones de la herramienta digital para dar una óptima experiencia de usuario y no sólo eso, dar también resultados tangibles que es lo que venimos a buscar. Son tendencia y reyes en lo que respecta a métodos de adquisición de clientes de forma automatizada. La herramienta ahorra tiempo, horas, días, semanas, meses. Y el tiempo, es lo más valioso que tenemos así que a seguir creciendo!

Pros: Su cantidad de funcionalidades, la interfaz de usuario y la distribución de elementos, características, análisis de métricas y datos son espectaculares. Es profesional y a la vez entretenido de usar, algo difícil de combinar muchas veces en el desarrollo de un software con fines complejos, pero simple para el usuario que se para frente a él.

Cons: Me gustaría que tenga una pequeña ventana de visualización del paso a paso mientras está corriendo una campaña. Es decir, que muestre en tiempo real a qué contactos está enviando solicitudes de conexión y mensajes, uno a uno, para tener registro de la velocidad y frecuencia con que funciona el software. Es esencial tener esa métrica a la mano para así poder llevar un seguimiento diario y constante de qué está haciendo realmente la herramienta y en qué tiempos.

"Lead generation that stands out from the competition. "

Overall: Very good

Pros: I’ve tested many softwares for lead generation and sky lead is definitely the best of them. Skylead has all the features you need for lead generation and has some cool stuff. You can basically save money by getting Skylead because you don’t need extra software. It’s all in one!!

Cons: It can’t find its own leads and requires a third party software.

"Revolutionized Your Campaigns"

Overall: This makes managing my campaigns so easy. I love it because I can work on other things while it works in the background. The templates for every type of campaign are easy to tweak, delivering precisely what you are looking for. This program will set your lead generation on fire.

Pros: It's straightforward to set up. In about 15 minutes, you can have your first campaign running.

Cons: I've only been working with Skylead for a few months, and I haven't found any flaws yet!
