The specific scenarios based on my experience where sales-i is well suited was that it helps to manage sales activity very easily and provides a better funnel for more sales and a clear path for every lead that comes in. As we deal in B2B and B2C so it is very necessary that every customer should be happy.

I have over 250 accounts in my name, and it can be difficult to prioritize and find notes on past conversations my colleagues may have had. Scratchpad makes it super easy to reference past notes and add new ones to organize my book of business and make the best use of my time.

Cons
  • There is no free trial for this product even though it's a CRM
  • The pricing is very high compared to its competition.
  • The pipeline is very basic which is a bit of a let-down as this is a function we require so have to use a stand-alone product for this.

  • When pulling in Salesforce reports, it doesn't have full ability to do grouping/sorting.
  • When looking at pipeline view there's not an ability to expand the default view to see more than 5 people per group.
  • It'd be nice if comments would go as a task rather than a buzz.

Scratchpad is just a much more enjoyable way of interacting with Salesforce for the features it currently supports. It's not an alternative to Salesforce, it's an alternative UX for certain daily activities in SF, and it's great at that.
