What would we do without CRM?

The customer service team is the star of show when it comes to CRM - the tool is awesome and works great but the team that supports us [SENSITIVE CONTENT] is next level. They are constantly working to help us achieve success in whatever we are looking for or are needing and have always treated us as a priority.

PROS

Being able to have a live view of the team's pipeline has been such a valuable resource for our team - we are frequently asked for this type of information which is easily reportable from the tool. Additionally it has been a great resource for our team to share information, house important documents, track and measure success of initiatives i.e. SKU rationalization or Culinary Events.

CONS

We do have some struggles with there being different ways to enter information and how that translates into reporting. For the most part we have been able to close the loopholes but sales tends to always find a way.

Sales Enablement review

Overall experience is a positive one. From learning about the tool and being trained by my Sales Enablement representatives to launching the tool to our sales team it was a great experience. The team is always there to answer questions and if we have any recommendations they bring this to their IT team to see if update can be made.

PROS

How easy this tool is for our sales team to send documents or product specs to customers in seconds. Or update a sales interaction by using the voice to text option while using the app. I think it's a great pre-planning tool that can benefit our sales organization.

CONS

There are certain functions that I believe could be worked and updated a bit to be more user-friendly. More so the opportunity/pipeline feature.

Reason for choosing Blacksmith Sales Enablement

We were using the product catalog and document library side of Sales Enablement and it made sense to go forward using a CRM Tool that was tied to this software we were already using rather than launching an entirely new tool to our team.

HHL Review

Great hub of customer information that we can parcel through and look for additional opportunities.

PROS

I like the product library and customer information. Yes, it was fairly easy to implement.

CONS

A business plan tool that demonstrates pipeline opportunities would be a nice addition.

Easy to use and navigate CRM

Overall, the system has worked well for our business as an agency, as well as being the master database for all agencies together. It has given us a platform where we all can be connected as one.

PROS

The user interface is simple, straight forward and easy to use, as well as teach to new users. The support from our broker solution managers is great, they are always willing to help and provide solutions to our problems/questions.

CONS

In the report center, I wish there were examples of what the reports looked like or what they would be used for. Some of the report titles are vague, and with a little more description it may be easier to navigate which report to run for the correct result.

Reason for choosing Blacksmith Sales Enablement

The ability to manage our own database, the interface of the CRM, the progressive thinking of FSE, and the ability to expand as we grew.

PROS

What I most like is that there is a Mobile App and a Desktop function.

CONS

Most reports require a bit a excel cleanup to make them more usable.

Reasons for switching to Blacksmith Sales Enablement

Adesso only had an inside function -- did not allow outside sales to use the system.
