- Create, Update or Close an Opportunity

ContactMonkey is a great low cost solution for Outlook 2016

Pros

  • Provides email open information
  • Identifies if an email has been shared and location the email was opened
  • Integrates nicely into HTML emails
  • Provides data regarding clicked links and most effective emails
  • Has a great search function

Cons

  • Salesforce integration seems unnecessary
  • Has refresh issues occasionally
  • Can cause slowing issues for Outlook
  • Doesn't have integration with Outlook.com/Exchange

Return on Investment

  • I've found companies that have shared my email and opened the email 20-60 times but never responded. It gave me an absolute understanding that this was a hot company
  • Sometimes knowing your email is being opened can be very frustrating if you cannot get a response. However, at least you know it was read and they are not interested.
  • My boss and fellow employee's don't like the fact that I know where they are located. It's somewhat divisive in that sense.
