Great product, excellent value for money!

In our business, we are heavily reliant on our contact list and being able to quickly search and sort our contacts by specific groups. Contact Boss has become our online 'Rolodex', where we can quickly find contacts and see a history of past contact points we have had with them and key information about them and their companies. Contact Boss is saving us a lot of wasted administration time and has allowed us to elevate our customer service to the next level.

PROS

Ease-of-use; simplicity; fast customer service; functions to export contacts quickly to email, PDFs or Excel; intuitive user interface; high-accuracy search functionality

CONS

Although it is relatively simple to import contacts, there could be some functionality to simplify the contact import process in the future; such as directly from mobile list, LinkedIn contacts, photos of business cards, etc. These functions may come with time.

Reason for choosing Contact Boss

Salesforce had much more functionality then we needed for a smaller company like us. With more functionality come a higher price too. Contact Boss gave us what we needed at a more affordable price.

Reasons for switching to Contact Boss

We needed a centralized system for our contacts that was easy to search, sort and export. Previously we were spending too much administrative time and poorly keeping track of our contacts.

Contact Boss was the right solution

Our experience with CB has been very positive. The easy to use interface has made adoption by all office staff an easier than usual transition.

PROS

Our office didn't need the mega-solutions offered by the bigger providers- where you only use a small fraction of the features. Contact Boss offered an easy to use product with convenient features and a great search function. We hold a lot of events, so the compatibility with EventBrite and attendee capture was excellent. The audit and tracking features are a very nice surprise that I wouldn't expect on a low cost product like Contact Boss.

CONS

We initially had an issue with transferring legacy data from our old system to CB. But Contact Boss personnel took care of the matter and the transfer went smoothly.

Reason for choosing Contact Boss

Ease of use, price, features.

Reasons for switching to Contact Boss

Interface, data management, features, syncing among staff.

Simple, Powerful and Easy To Use

This is a fantastic tool to keep a large database of contacts organized without the need for a clunky CRM with all sorts of features that never get used.

PROS

The onboarding experience is intuitive and easy, once the trial is activated, there is no steep learning curve involved to start using the software. I particularly like the predefined options available, for example identifying contact types and their roles come standard out of the box. This allowed me to get started right away inputting contacts and assigning their roles without first having to figure out how to create custom role types. The other notable features I love is the search and export functionalities. Furthermore, form integration is great way to allow contacts from our website who fill out the form to be automatically created as contacts in ContactBoss, this reduces hours of manual data entry.

CONS

While the default form builder is great, our workflow for our business form that we use on our sites are also integrated with other tools, it would be great to have an integration with Zapier, this way it would allow other form tools to feed data directly into ContactBoss, while also allowing continued use of existing integrations with other tools as well.

Supporting M&A

Contact Boss has been instrumental in managing our Atlantic Mergers & Acquisitions lead pipeline, bringing all of our leads and contacts together and accessible in one place. We are able to track valuable data about our contacts which promotes greater reach and efficiency when we go to market with a new business listing. The M&A space has become increasingly complex as more and more business owners choose to exit, fueling a diverse and growing buyer market. Contact Boss allows us to capture information from buyers which can be retrieved several months down the road, assisting us identify market opportunities for our clients. This has translated in more value for our clients.

PROS

Software captures key information when contact is set up which allows greater reach and efficiency down the road.

CONS

Would like to have the ability to self-customize more fields etc.

Reason for choosing Contact Boss

Contact Boss offered a better tool to manage the contacts we have and be able to scale much easier as our contacts grew.
