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.
If you're looking to ramp up cold outreach efforts in record timing, lemlist is the best cold outreach software to do so. The UX/UI is hands down the best in this vertical. Our sales team had a immense onboarding timeline for Apollo, not to mention long-wait-time for customer support with Apollo, and it was a breath of fresh air to move to lemlist. There is no all-in-solution for cold email outreach, but lemlist is adding features every year that they're the closest all in one tool on the market.
Sequencing automated email campaigns for outbound prospecting (BD Function).
Integrating with Sales Navigator to help me find emails/phone #' numbers/"add to sequence" while prospecting. It's easy and seamless to find & then load contacts into Cadences.
Integration with Salesforce is a huge plus. Allows me to not worry about logging anything, but the executive team can see my activity & what is going on (emails going out, responses I get, etc.).
The analytics on the outreach data is always helpful as well (open rates, click rates, etc.).
There are a lot of cold email solutions on the market, and Lemlist is one of the more expensive solutions. However, Lemlist is a strong contender due to the fact you can do mulri-channel and gather prospect data so easily and effectively
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.
The user interface is super, super intuitive compared to the competition, especially Apollo. Plus, even if you run into a roadblock, lemlist's customer support is super responsive, and you don't have to pay more money to make them more responsive, it's part of their mission to help you become the best at using their tool for successful cold email campaigns. It's a terrific experience.
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.
Make.com, Dripify and Hubspot all seem to have similar systems. However, they don't have any of the data. So, you wind up spending more money and time connecting them all to your system. Zoom Info has great data, but they didn't have automation. Apollo.io allows you to combined all of these other ones into on system which is fantastic.
Lemlist stacks up well against other cold email tools, even though most share the same features now. However, the integration of LinkedIn in Lemlist's feature set gives the tool an edge as it differentiates itself as a tool to build relationships with prospects (rather than spamming them), which is undoubtedly the future of B2B lead generation.
I've only just started using Apollo, but with the 24 emails I've sent out using Apollo, I've already received one response, which is a much better ratio than before.
I was also able to add several companies that were not already in my Salesforce account, which appeared in Apollo.io.
Apollo.io helped me find genuine companies that we could assist through the prospecting filters, which was very helpful.
