Kixie a tool that helps outbound calling get done quicker

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Kixie is being used as our autodialer for outbound reach. We required a system that would make outbound calling easier, avoiding a lot of the manual work from copying and pasting to dial. Kixie helped go through a list of 100 leads in just a few minutes, improving our efficiency in verifying our list of leads for unavailable numbers and voicemails. With a few automations in place like text messages being sent out everytime you leave a voicemail, it makes outbound calling an easy task to get a hold of qualified leads.

Pros

  • Autodialing
  • Removing leads from list if unavailable
  • Transfering leads to different list if qualified

Cons

  • User interface, sometimes the list you are calling on the tool can glitch and not show you the info of the lead.
  • Integration with more CRMs like Agencyzoom
  • An email automation option similar to text messages.

Return on Investment

  • from 29% to 47% on qualified leads
  • Reduced cost on marketing campaigns by taking outbound approach
  • Increased our agents visibility by connecting with more customers.

Kixie, a versatile dialer

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We tested Kixie as an integrated dialer for our CRM. One of the issues we had with our previous dialer was its lack of ability to do voicemail drops, which ate up precious time, as we had to do voicemails manually and repeatedly for all call. Kixie solved that problem with its voice mail drop feature.

Pros

  • Kixie integrated well with our HubSpot CRM
  • Kixie provided call logs and call recordings for each call
  • Kixie customer support is very good and very responsive

Cons

  • The voicemail drops need instructions and reminders on when to click on the mail drop
  • The call review AI (transcription) is not too accurate

Return on Investment

  • Kixie's dialer allows us to dial directly from our CRM
  • The voicemail drop feature saves time and allows our BDRs to move on to the next call right away
  • The automatic log calling saves even more time instead of having to log the call manually

Increase Productivity and Make More Calls with Kixie

Pros

  • Kixie integrates seamlessly with our CRM (Zoho), meaning it updates call notes directly on the customer's CRM profile.
  • The one-click dialing feature directly through our CRM is a great feature. It's so simple; just search for a name, one-click, and you are on the phone.
  • The local presence feature is a nice touch for cold calls. It provides a local area code when cold calling to increase the likelihood of an answer to the call.

Cons

  • There is a big price difference between Kixie's limited minutes and unlimited minutes calling plans. I was expecting a price increase for unlimited minutes, but I didn't expect it to be that large of an increase (almost double the price).
  • The minutes for the limited calling plan is set at 300 minutes a month. For my organization that makes a lot of calls, this is a very low amount, which forces us to upgrade to the unlimited calling plan.
  • It's easy to get started with Kixie by signing up for their free trial. However, the pricing that was advertised during the free trial period turned out to be quite different for my organization when it was actually time to purchase the service after the trial period was over.

Return on Investment

  • Kixie has made our sales team more productive by freeing up their time for more calls and customer engagement.
  • My sales team has also become more organized by using Kixie. We are able to be more systematic and strategic with when we are calling and the frequency of our calls. This has improved our success ratio in getting leads into our pipeline.
  • The reporting features on Kixie has allowed my organization to better identify members of my sales staff that are having call success and reward them for their efforts.
