User Testimonials
Autoklosebeehiiv
Likelihood to Recommend
I would recommend Autoklose to smaller teams that do not have the tools and processes in place for conducting sales outreach or business development activities. I would also recommend it to Sales development reps who are relying on manually managing their sales outreach without the benefits of automation. I'd also recommend it if they are trying to do the above while using a CRM like Pipedrive, as Autoklose works well with some CRMs.

Based on the analysis I made of various newsletter providers, beehiiv is the most suited for high-growth ones. If you ever plan or try to grow to 200k users, beehiiv has the best cost/value ratio.

Cons
  • The system is not designed to send out hundreds of emails within the hour. Thus if you have timely information, and you have a large list, it will generally take many hours to execute.
  • Related to the above, timing of email delivery does jot exist nor can it be customized by timezone.

Usability
It is well set out from a user interface perspective and once you understand how it works you understand the power and the logic of how it is done. Like any software it helps to be a frequent user, but Autoklose lets you set up campaigns in the shortest possible time based on experience with other systems that I have used.

Our Autoklose rep is amazing! Jelena has always gotten back to us within 24 hours, despite living on a different continent. She is completely proficient with the tool and is usually able to answer our questions with a brief email or short virtual meeting.

Alternatives Considered
Autoklose was very reasonably priced compared to the three competitors that I reviewed, but the features were far less robust than Outreach, so I ultimately decided to leave Autoklose after some time. And I went with Outreach, but I still had a great experience with Autoklose, and I'm able to give them great scores for their product and their service. Salesloft was less robust, and Mailshake wasn't sophisticated enough for my needs.

I found beehiiv the best suited for growth. The pricing model for other providers means your costs go up faster and steeper than with beehiiv.

Scalability
It's expensive to have a single seat for each salesperson, so the alias feature will be the perfect addition to this product.
