Best for new sales development

If you're looking for a tool to manage your prospecting, VanillaSoft is one of the best options out there. The platform is less cumbersome than a tool like Salesforce, which takes the lead all the way to the client. The integrated VoIP system allows for voicemail drop and recording of every call, making it an excellent tool for training and coaching. The platform automates many of your tasks, minimizing manual processes and improving your sales pipeline.

Pros
  • VanillaSoft offers a range of capabilities that help us manage our leads efficiently.
  • We appreciate the ability to move raw contacts through marketing and sales development stages to a Marketing Qualified Lead or Sales Qualified Lead.
  • The platform's priority routing capabilities, based on specific criteria such as time zones, zip codes, and distance, have also helped to improve our agent efficiency.
  • The integrated VoIP system with voicemail drop capabilities and call recording has improved the quality and consistency of our communication with customers.
  • The platform's reporting capabilities have given us clear insights into our agents' activities, making it easier to manage our team.
  • Overall, VanillaSoft has been a game-changer for our sales prospecting efforts.
Cons
  • We've found that the Salesforce integration is somewhat limited, but we are excited to see the new release coming in early 2020.
