Sales Director
South AfricaJohannesburg51 to 200 employeesSix reps, eighteen months in, and the pipeline is the most accurate it has ever been. Marketing and sales in one database when you run both. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.
What works
The most generous genuine free tier in business software. The mobile app works well enough for a rep between meetings. Automation handles the follow up sequence reps used to forget.
What does not
Onboarding a new rep takes longer than it should.
