    Detective. (Charlie Contacts Corp.)
    If you are in any type of sales, and meeting with people, it is a must. If you already know you contact well, it doesn't have as much value for that particular meeting. Also I wish there was a way to not sync internal meetings, as it just provides clutter, and I don't need info on those people.

    Cons
    Detective. (Charlie Contacts Corp.)
    • At times it doesn't pull a social profile for the contact correctly, or at all, when I know the person has a profile.
    • The interface is a little clunky, and the font is too large. It could be a lot smaller and still effective.
    • It takes a lot of time to sync at points, which is frustrating.

    Return on Investment
    Detective. (Charlie Contacts Corp.)
    • The info I pull from Charlie prior to the meeting is almost always brought up as a conversation starter.
    • Charlie helps my relationships go deeper than just surface level info.
    • The ability to go deeper in my relationships while using Charlie has absolutely closed me business.
