ConnectAndSell vs. PhoneBurner

ConnectAndSell is incredibly helpful when it comes to getting people on the phone. In the world of sales, dials and connects are king and connect and sell works great to hit these two points. The ability to create lists is great, however, I would like to see more customizable options available for end-users to play around with.

I think it would be great in any mid size to large scale sales team. With our ability as managers to go through every call or even join calls live is a huge way that it can help any sales manager and team really ramp up their sales strategy.

• The amazing piece is that you can leave a voicemail with each of those calls and really only need to focus in on the calls that patch through.
• One thing that has been absolutely amazing about Connect and Sell is the amount of call volume you can get in a single day. We used to start out by having 40 calls a day to now exceeding 200 calls going out.
• It's been a product that we weren't sure of the business impact but we've already seen results from producing more conversations and being able to follow up with greater ease.

• It is super easy to upload the lead list and keep everything in a unified and easy to use record.
• Time savings in the case of calling more than 50 people during a single day for example.
• Extremely friendly interface and reliable software.

• ConnectAndSell sounds way too robotic when the prospect answers the phone
• The implementation team is terrible. Donny was a horrible leader and did a terrible job of getting us going
• They have way too many bugs they need to fix at this point

• Could be a little better on the pricing.
• Could offer a better central administrative function.
• Could provide more updates to the app.

For the right reps who are good at talking to prospects who aren't expecting their call, this is a no brainer.

The capacity to stack enormous records and dial those down quickly, without manual cycles, is the best aspect of the application. Another incredible component is the more current rundown stacking device, which permits you to make another envelope for the contacts on the fly, settling on sorted out decision crusades truly simple to begin.

I have had a few support calls with their people. They are totally reachable and helpful, sharing screens, controlling my screen, showing why things happened, not just correcting it. If you have an issue with the software, let them help. They are there for you, and they are friendly, accessible, and happy to do their job.

Every interaction I have had with any member of their support team has been pleasant. Issues are quickly addressed and their response time is excellent through the chat service.

Lightning has a better success rate for connecting (in terms of it takes less time to connect using Lightning) but Lightning was definitely using shadier connecting tactics and also required the user to be focused intently when it connected you with a prospect. When using lightning, you needed to immediately speak and know your talking points while ConnectAndSell gives you better time to prepare.

We selected PhoneBurner because it is very easy to integrate with Zoho CRM and if you have a silver plan, you can do a lot such as Sending SMS and unlimited calling, you can also record and drop voicemail, timezone calling is automatic. It is a good dialer to use if you are part of sales.

• It is a little expensive.
• It does require management to keep lead lists lean and workable.
• It is tough to keep sales people motivated on it.
• It can feel overwhelming.

• [I believe] it has cost me a fortune in wasted time trying to make the Hubspot integration [work] (to no avail).
• [I believe] if the Hubspot integration actually worked, we would probably get decent ROI from the speedier calling.
