Copper vs. Koncert

Copper has helped me extensively keep track of not only my own but my company's workflow. With so many projects and quotes to track, it has become essential to keep me on task and not miss any of our goals. It has been a perfect fit with our specific workflow, but I don't think it has the customizability just yet to be a perfect fit for every company out there.

It is well suited for representatives that like to do some 'call prep' because they can call from within the Lead/Contact record in the CRM. It is less appropriate for reps that are most concerned with 'speed'; there are other tools (including ones offered by ConnectLeader) that are much faster than Click Dialer.

• The Google integration and Chrome extension automatically tracks and updates prospect and lead activity in the CRM. Data entry is simplified.
• Copper is a very user-friendly CRM with the ability to create custom fields, multiple pipelines, sales stages, etc. It is truly customizable and far less complex than other CRMs I have used in the past.
• Copper makes it simple to add leads manually, through Gmail or using a template and uploading a large list.
• Great support. We are very happy with our account management team and they strive to make sure we are getting the most out of the platform.
• Pricing is very competitive.

• Allows you to dial directly from Salesforce without having to dial the numbers by hand.
• You can choose from custom numbers based on the area you're calling, so you can use a local phone number which could increase your connect rate.
• Outstanding customer support. Any issues are solved or looked into immediately by their staff.

• Window change: for mobile - when you tap on a card from a pipeline it takes you to the lead’s basic info. I wish it would immediately just open all activities so I can quick see notes
• I usually use Copper on the go. When you open the Copper app, it immediately opens a collab window. I wish it had some sort of easy dashboard….plus a notes area. I open Copper on mobile to quickly search for someone’s name or to take quick notes from a sales meeting

• We wanted integration with a sales enablement tool like Salesloft so that we could track where a prospect was in a cadence. For instance, we'd call on some people, have conversations, and have to stop to remove them from the list we were working through. Had we had integration, we would've been able to know that prospect had a conversation with one of our reps, and not lose time combing through the lists after the fact.

I would rate Copper overall usability as a 10. It is easy to use. I am not extremely computer friendly so I needed to find something that would fit what I can do. Copper definitely fit the bill. I would highly recommend it to anyone of any level of computer knowledge.

It has been so far so good, they have been quick to respond to queries, and do follow up as well. But then again this is a work in progress and I guess they would not have a solution to every problem every posed to them right away. Hence I will refrain from making any judgments.

In all fairness, other CRM tools I have used were set up by a corporate IT person who knew much more than I do about programming. Therefore, those were easy to use and had the features I expected them to have. Whereas I, with minimal IT experience, set up Copper by myself. It works very well for what we do, so it is a very user-friendly program.

We looked at ConnectAndSell, but preferred the pricing structure of CL CD. It just worked better for us, made more sense, and was cleaner.

We also liked some of the functionality on CL CD that we didn't feel we could find inside of C&S. They were mostly equal, but pricing was bigger determining factor, followed by some basic functionality (contact preview, etc....).

• The ability to nurture abandoned prospects via Sequences has proven to be a great tool for our Business Development Team. Rather than leaving the nurturing to Marketing, the BD Team is able to play a more active role in reviving abandoned Opportunities with a higher potential for conversion to clients.
• Probably the biggest positive impact Copper has had for our company is its ability to export to Sheets. As a financial services company, we live inside of spreadsheets and are constantly crunching numbers. Being able to pull important data out of Copper and into a tool like sheets has allowed us to create a robust series of charts and metrics enabling us to tweak our performance for the better.
• The biggest negative impact Copper has had on our overall business might be in the inability to track interactions between members of our company that don't have Copper licenses. While we don't need every member of our company to use all of the features within the CRM platform, the lack of email tracking for all people within our company causes the interaction counts for prospects/clients to be skewed and not reflect the true count of total interactions.

• Increases efficiency and makes it possible to make more calls in a given time frame.
