What is Gmelius?

Gmelius Mission: Build the 1st collaboration platform that lives where you work 🚀

Gmelius offers a way to collaborate, manage projects and automate workflows inside Google Workspace (formerly G Suite),and beyond, by connecting the other tools that are used daily at companies like Slack, and Trello.

Teams can collaborate right from the tools they already know and love. Gmelius allows them to work together on email, monitor and distribute their company's workload visually, and automate all the grunt work.

Their daily apps are brought together, with no need to migrate data to a different third-party solution nor to learn how to use another application. Company data is de-siloed and productivity increased, without the constant tab-switching.

Master teamwork, not another tool! 🙌

Gmelius is my employee of the year...every year.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Gmelius is my 5-star sales tool for email management. I do all of my lead generation campaigns out of it. I love how easy it is to do in general but really love the sequences. It also keeps track of my "unsubscribes" to ensure that I don't send an email accidentally. The reporting is maybe my favorite. I love that not only can I see how many times they've opened it, but any connected email action from it. Gmelius also helps me stay on top of my follow-ups for potential clients. I can schedule and sequence all of my "blanket" follow-ups in one quick upload (after creating my follow-up sequence, of course) and stay focused on getting leads converted and closing business. It's working when I am sleeping, making dinner, talking to clients, sleeping, etc., and is so great that I am 100% confident everything is getting done. I highly recommend Gmelius (already brought a few of my co-workers to the G-Side) and will continue to use it!

Pros

  • Reporting.
  • Ease of creation (templates, sequences, etc.)
  • Managing unsubscribes.

Cons

  • POLING !!!!! Please!
  • Using images/videos in emails (or maybe I'm not doing it right).
  • I wish the dashboard was easier to navigate -- can be quite confusing/frustrating.

Return on Investment

  • I reliably post 20-30% higher activity numbers weekly due to my use of Gmelius
  • Gmelius is a significant contributer to my sales success -- The last two years I have more than doubled company-issued sales targets
  • Gmelius saves me tons of time each week due to automated campaigns. I would say I've reclaimed at least 20% of my work week scheduling out follow up and pre-scheduling lead gen email campaigns out.
