Claritysoft vs. LocaliQ

For a small company, just getting started with a CRM package, Claritysoft is great. Better to have something rather than nothing at all to keep up with these things we use and need in Sales.

LocaliQ is phenomenal at s multichannel marketing approach. It is incredibly effective and efficient to run all of these simultaneous campaigns through one company. As a small nonprofit, we would not have been able to have the reach LocaliQ gave us if we had opted to use multiple companies. It would have been too much for our staff to handle.

It works for us and the support is excellent

It is VERY, VERY, simple and easy to use and learn. All I needed was a super brief 30 minute overview to understand how to use it, and their Customer Support is pretty good. I was raised on Salesforce, which is much more complicated, but allows you to do so much more.

Overall usability pretty good. If we would have gotten better return on our advertising dollar I would have continued with them - their dashboard was very easy to use and the recaps they provided were helpful. They try to put data in bite-sized pieces for the client that are understandable (unlike google's reporting page itself which can be a bit difficult to understand at times). Their team was friendly, semi-responsive, and provided explanations when requested

They are very helpful and quick whenever I have a question about Claritysoft CRM. I think the guy I've spoken with is named Evan, and he's been very helpful. Claritysoft, give the man a raise if you know who I'm talking about. He responds super quick with truly helpful insights.

So easy to do - you control the process, supported by the Claritysoft

In my opinion, Claritysoft is like a second grader, and Salesforce is like a college graduate when it comes to what you can do and learn from the software. Salesforce integrates easily with other products we use, such as ZoomInfo, but Claritysoft is extremely limited in what it can integrate with. Salesforce costs more money though, so it really depends how you utilize the CRM to know what you need. Just a big address book to log calls and emails? I think Claritysoft is fine. Want to track actual sales and forecast? I think Salesforce 100%.

LocaliQ is more economical that marketing agencies we've used in the past. Our dollar goes farther. We've also used services from phonebook providers that were getting into the online advertising field. At the time, it was just being introduced so the reps knowledge on the topic was quiet limited.

As mentioned prior, their ability to utilize and maximize our resources so that we receive the best results on all avenues of marketing and advertising. We see better lead generation, brand recognition and top of mind awareness due to LocaliQ efforts

• It has made it easier to see our overall sales for each sales rep.
• The only negative is that we cannot change over the account, contacts, leads, and opportunities with one ownership field. You have to do each one separate and when you are transferring 1000 clients this takes much too long to do. No reason for it.

• Local print advertising enhanced our community presence and strengthened brand loyalty.
• The automation of PPC and display campaigns has saved our marketing team at least 15-20 hours per week of work monitoring campaigns.
• Service fees feel steep for the campaigns we run, especially for a business with constrained budgets.
