Apollo.io vs. FrontSpin

The automatic email feature is extremely helpful for quickly contacting more potential clients. It is user-friendly and easy to access all buttons, which helps you navigate the task efficiently. It could greatly help to acquire more clients for a project to be successful. I cannot see anything less appropriate for me to achieve the goal I am aiming for.

Works extremely well for an SDR/BDR team whose main focus is outreach through phone calls. Less appropriate for organizations looking for email cadence or a Salesforce add-on to work within Salesforce.

• Consolidates tool and packs in a lot of functionality
• Keeps up with the industry trends for prospecting and data enrichment
• Offers the basics you need to get going
• Account mapping to Salesforce - reps can prospect in Apollo and can easily toggle on views to only see their own accounts.

Incentivized

• Recording of calls and attaching to SFDC records
• Campaign lists
• Cost

• I thought the AI email-generating function was weak. The email sounded way too robotic.
• I wish there were a split-screen option that allowed me to view my lists and leads simultaneously.
• I wish putting contacts into lists wouldn't cost any credits.

Incentivized

• Ability to see Salesforce 'Event' types in the lead record.
• Make column edits sticky
• Keep doing a great job guys, love your product!

Generally quite a reliable tool with decent data quality/availability. Pricing works well for our team and our use case

Apollo.io has an amazing amount of features. It's great being able to complete so many tasks in one space but it's also overwhelming. It took me a few days to work through all of the options when searching for a company or person. After a few days it started to provide companies for me which was confusing before I understood what was happening. At first, I was also confused about what a "sequence" was so maybe some of the jargon can be confusing. I think with time I will become more comfortable once I understand all of the options offered.

Trained a new recruit on FrontSpin in one session. It's very intuitive.

The team wants to solve probelms, but we are finding that they don't know how to solve the more technical issues quickly. I suspect that they don't have a mature process for escalations, and they don't have a usable knowledge base article repository. They seems to push emails around to let us know that people are working on the issues to find solutions, but this takes weeks and oftentimes still leaves us without a resolution.

Incentivized

They do well with their support. Wait times are low, and they are eager to help.

Apollo.io has all features of prospecting, outreach automation including email sequences, campaign tracking, lead scoring, and analytics in one interface which enables sales persons to manage their entire sales funnel without having any other extra tool. Another benefit is for pricing related which has been understand from our management team.

The cost of ConnectLeader far outweighed the benefits in our specific case and didn't have most of the functions of Frontspin. Salesforce's and HubSpot's dialer aren't power dialers so you can't load a list and go. That is a HUGE benefit of FrontSpin.

Incentivized

• Increased # of booked meetings from outbound email outreach.
• Our sales team's productivity has improved when prospecting/doing outreach (which has a monetary value, given our salaried status). This makes us more productive, enabling us to accomplish more and reach a greater number of people in a day.
• We've only recently implemented this, so we're still waiting to close, but leads are on their way to doing so.

Incentivized

• It has helped us make a lot more calls and keep track of activities done throughout the day.
• It helps us keep a certain number of calls for each day.
