Leadsquared is well suited for small to medium-sized enterprises where the team is small and you have a lot of areas to explore. Every team can have their suites/ accounts customised accordingly. I am not sure if I can compare it for bigger enterprises but I feel this best of best to get your work done more efficiently.

Salestools really helped us set up a predictable pipeline and helped us scale our sales efforts. Before we did manually prospecting looking for customers using Stripe and then researched leads and build campaigns. With the Auto Prospector® I managed to do this 100% automated; we grew our business rapidly with Salestools. No data provider is 100% accurate neither is Linkedin and I must say Live Data® from Salestools is as good as Sales Navigator.

Cons
  • LeadSquared is a little bit expensive compared to other slimmer products, so they need to think about it.
  • Sometimes LeadSquared gets stuck when I use it to run a large campaign, I would like them to improve this.
  • LeadSquared creates a problem in slow internet connections, so I guess this is also an improvement area for them.

  • The company has a global focus, their revenue numbers on companies at first was weak but recently I have seen an improvement that gets closer to D&B levels and if they can improve radically there it is a huge plus.
  • I love IT Budgets, they started to roll it out, wish I had that earlier.

It is an excellent value for money solution and is fulfilling all our needs quite efficiently. They keep working on the product and each month sees an update allowing for a bug free experience and faster incorporation of newer tools. I see no reason why I would not like to renew the subscription for this fabulous product.

Usability
1. The learning curve is not too steep; it is fairly simple. The UI albeit old looking, is fairly simple. 2. It has a lot of integrated apps using which you can directly access other systems under a single umbrella. 3. Processes and permission templates allow for role based access, thereby further simplifying the system by removing unnecessary element with respect to a specific group

LeadSquared is a dedicated Sales CRM. Earlier we were using Freshdesk for sales following a ticket based model which was highly inconvenient as all customer activity used to get created as a separate ticket and overall effort tracking was a mess. With the Lead and Activity model, tracking became much easier and yes, Freshdesk is a support tool and Freshsales does exist but LeadSquared fulfilled our usecase at a much lesser price.

We have been trying KLENTY mainly, however, the Prospector of Salestools.io is quite superior. For both cases, the preparation of campaigns are not as easy as it sounds, but as soon as you do the first, it will be easier for your business. Salestools.io has a better and easier interface and the webpage is superb. If you are looking just for follow-up, PLENTLY with doing, but if you need to find a prospect, Salestools.io is the service you need.

Return on Investment
  • Lead leakage stopped, positively impacting the CPL.
  • Customized Lead Stages helped the sales team to have a better follow up thus improving the conversion rates.
  • Automations and Drip implementation helped in drawing direct/indirect conversions from dormant leads - Adding to LTV of a customer.

  • Very negative ROI. We burned high-value contacts that were wasted on bugs, problems, and week-long delay in support responses.
  • Management is dishonest. As a business owner and entrepreneur that wish was told this before becoming a Saesltools.io client: Stay away.
