InsideSales Playbooks vs. Mixmax

Playbooks is great for sales organizations that need help with efficiency and cadence. It is well suited for heavy calling and high emails on accounts. Playbooks also does a great job at taking the guesswork out of accounts for my reps. The only time I would think that Playbooks would be less appropriate would be if a company already has a similar system in place.

Mixmax is very well suited for sharing calendar availability via email with a client. Multiple time blocks can be shared, and the bridge between Gmail and other colleagues allows you to hold a meeting time on calendars to prevent overbooking with colleagues. This is extremely helpful when scheduling a large call and juggling many people's schedules.

• Organization with tasks - Playbooks tells reps what step they are on with each account
• Keeping reps focused & accountable - now, they know exactly what is expected of them for that day
• Time efficiency - realizing what accounts to continue working, and what accounts to stop working

• The scheduling integration is really easy for email recipients. It is quite literally one-click for them to schedule an event from a meeting time list interface.
• The interface is extremely well-designed and intuitive across the board. This makes it really easy to learn their software and integrate it into your workflow.
• Their pricing is *extremely* convenient for startups. Their "starter" plan is extremely affordable (currently $9/month/user), and includes unlimited tracking, templates, reminders, automation, etc... Basically, everything you would need to upgrade your email automation workflow.

• There does seem to be a lot of steps involved for each play when it would be nice to have fewer steps to send out an invite to an upcoming webinar.
• It would also be great to have more VOD's that we could watch on our own time to learn more about the tool.
• It would also be great to have the ability to see exactly when they open an email and forward it on.

• On occasion, Mixmax fails to sync to my email and I've had to reach out to support to remedy the issue.
• Offering "link click tracking" for the lowest plan would be great for users, especially those new to the software so they can realize more of the benefits.
• For the lower plan, I wish email opens were able to be tracked when sending to multiple people in the same email.

It only took a day to get comfortable with Playbooks. The ease of use and overall usability is fantastic in the sense that it's pretty straightforward once you get enough repetitions in the tool. I also like all of the videos and resources available if support is needed

Every time I have reached out to Mixmax I automatically get an email from a trained professional who has perfect insight into my issue with an understandable reason to why I am having and issue offers me a solution. The wait time is only around 5 minutes and they are always offering sympathy in certain situations.

Truly is easier for phone capabilities (letting customers call you back and having it go to your phone but still being a fake number), while mixmax is much better for email sending and tracking via gmail. Truly had no email capabilities when I was using it, so it was only helpful for phone. However mixmax could improve its phone capabilities
