Likelihood to Recommend
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.

A software that I highly recommend. We all managed to learn how to use it and in a short time we were already increasing the number of daily calls handled. Customers also increased and the performance of the agents increased by 100%, and that is why we did not change our call software.

Pros
  • 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.

  • Helps with dialing pre-set client lists.
  • Helps create a clear handoff between team members due to automated profile documentation.

Cons
  • 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

  • I would like to see the inclusion of being able to not only record the call, but the transcript of the call, to have more control.
  • Integrations with social networks and other channels would be very important to not depend on other software.
  • It is not as intuitive and easy to use at first as I would like so that all employees can quickly start using it.

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

Support Rating
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.

If I have an issue with the interface between Salesforce.com and Dialsource, usually the Support team is reaching out to me to let me know the connection between the two programs has been altered or disconnected before I even get a chance to realize it myself.

Alternatives Considered
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.

DialSource Telephony is way better than the others: no delay, no static, clear consistent voice quality.

  • It can feel overwhelming.
