I wish I knew it earlier!
I love it! When you're having demos all day long, you don't have time to do all your admin work. With Scratchpad you can do it between your demos because you need no more than 2-3 minutes. I don't have to spend additional 30 minutes a day only to update my SFDC. On top of that, I have easy access to all my notes in one place, and I can push them all to SFDC directly from the notepad, I love it! Even if someone is reviewing my work, all my notes are always available even without having Scratchpad license, so your manager can always check what you've been doing with certain leads.
PROSScratchpad is the best way to access your SFDC, period. You don't have to open your clunky reports or add tasks from inside the opps or accounts. Scratchpad gives you your notes or pipeline immediately when you open a new tab, or it allows you to search through contacts with an easy extension available anywhere on the web. True gamechanger. Even after each email or call, you can immediately fill a box with additional information like "do not contact" or "no show" which allows you to mark a few accounts with certain filters within a minute.
CONSIf it would be possible to convert a lead to an opportunity, I wouldn't have to open SFDC at all, but I guess that's not the idea of this tool. Other than that, it's awesome!

Lifesaver for sales organizations
Despite the slowness issues, I LOOOOOVE Scratchpad. I remember when my coworker found it and showed it to me, I was blown away. The major thing to me is eliminating the whole data updates with Scratchpad. That was such a pain in the neck and now that Scratchpad does away with that, I am pleased as punch. Plus, I'm a big stickler for note taking and note organization so Scratchpad is very useful in that regard.
PROSScratchpad is a godsend when it comes to typing up notes. It's a centralized location for all my call notes and everything. No more putting them in Google Sheets or on a notepad. Best part too is it syncs seamlessly with Salesforce so I just plug in the notes in the Scratchpad sidebar, hit sync and BOOM! they're all uploaded and entered in there. Saves me so much time manually updating Salesforce and praying that the record doesn't get "updated" and I have to refresh and re-do everything. Scratchpad helps me avoid that whole process and makes my day-to-day life so much easier.
CONSScratchpad has a tendency to slooooow down. It tends to take it's time loading sometimes so I need to get a lot of things prepared ahead of time. Not easy to take a call right off the cuff and have scratchpad good to go. Sometimes the notepad is slow to load or there's a delay in notes being typed in.

Thanks a million for this review, Derek. We are very grateful!

Less Time Updating Salesforce
I love how I can update things in Salesforce without having to go into Salesforce. Our CRM is pretty complex and slow, updating takes forever. I can move a lot quicker and be more agile in my day.
CONSI wish I could see more fields from my CRM in Scratchpad and more objects so I can make views for things like Cases.

Hey Chatch! Your input is very helpful. We will be in touch for sure. Thank you very much for your review and kind words.

I'd recommend Scratchpad
Scratchpad are a great company, making an awesome product. They are really customer focused and the tool will continue to get better and offer additional value for sales people.
PROSI like using Scratchpad as it is a great way to take notes on the fly, whilst on a customer call. Their integration with Salesforce is very useful when it comes to pushing qualification notes directly into CRM - this is a big time saver. I also find Scratchpad valuable for quickly updating Salesforce opportunities ahead of my upcoming forecast meetings. The visuals are also great.
CONSOne pain point that I would like Scratchpad to address, is to create an 'undo' button. I've accidentally highlighted then deleted notes before, and there is no option to recover these due to the auto-save. As a result, they should implement an undo feature.
Vendor Response
Hey Ben! Thanks for the feedback and great review. Let's see if we can flip that 4 stars into 5 stars. I am sharing your feedback with regards to the undo button with the team.

Incredible if you want clean CRM Hygiene and want to save loads of time
Great. Saving tons of time. Getting clean updates and notes in Salesforce. I'm very satisifed. I have recommended it to several friends and colleagues.
PROSScratchpad makes it so easy to jot down daily updates in your CRM. We use Salesforce. I used to take notes in like 10 places and try and put them in Salesforce like once a week. Now I just straight do it with Scratchpad. So much time savings and effiencies. And I get complimented on my salesforce hygiene.
CONSI think something I would add would maybe be like color filters. Kind of like red/yellow/green depending on how I set up the ranges. Kind of like google docs.
Vendor Response
Hey Drew! Thank you so much for your review and great feedback of Scratchpad. We all appreciate you!

So easy, yet so effective it will blow your mind
Amazing. The team will go above and beyond the call of duty. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] has been an absolute rockstar and so stoked to get to work with her.
PROSI am able to very easily update all things Salesforce. From one single tab, I can update tasks, SFDC fields, forecasting, and take notes, without ever having to login to Salesforce. It's truly life-changing.
CONSI can't force my team to use it - that's it. I wish they all started when first joining the company. The only bad thing is we didn't have it sooner.

Sales org demand rigorous Salesforce updates and organization. Odds are you have a team of talented sellers but maybe not all of them are the best at updates within your Salesforce instance. Scratchpad changes all of that. You can access everything through Chrome and simply open at a tab and edit anything in Salesforce. This cuts the time that your sales org spends logging in and out and waiting for Salesforce to load.
PROSI love that Scratchpad is a Chrome extension and doesn't require any setup. It's a UI layer that sits on your Salesforce instance and executes any updates, new records, etc without actually having to log into Salesforce. This is huge as it saves people time and feeds all record changes into Salesforce instantly. It also populates reports from Salesforce and makes any data in Salesforce easy to find.
CONSHonestly, nothing so far. Even custom fields from your SFDC layer populate into Scratchpad. There are some bugs here and there but they're addressed quickly and the feedback team takes these things into account quickly.

Thank you, Cornell!

Scratchpad Make The Worst Part of Sales Better
Updating my entire quarterly pipeline in 5 minutes. Not having to wait for 30 seconds between saving fields in like I do in SFDC
CONSWhen I want to add notes I usually have to select the note field and then expand it because I add a lot of notes... That's the worst thing I could think of, that's how awesome this product is.
Reasons for switching to Scratchpad
Easy of use. Time savings. To reduce frustration with using SFDC.

it's been pure bliss. i've brought my exec team and fellow sales savages on to scratchpad. it's the best, no other way to put it.
PROSImagine sfdc if they actually built features for modern sales people. easy to use, integrates with your note pad, and quick to add new features.

Making sales admin faster, easier, and more accurate
My overall experience has been great. I'm a daily user of the product and have brought many of my colleagues along with me. Our Exec Sales Leadership is now using this to make sure we're aligned on all pipeline calls and can make adjustments on the fly. The Scratchpad team was extremely helpful in working with us when we were evaluating the service. They were also extremely keen on taking our feedback into consideration for product development. Many of my "wishes" came true. On the whole It helps our executive team have confidence in our pipeline and helps the business more accurately project pipeline velocity. 10/10 would recommend to any sales team.
PROSBig fan of how easy it is to use scratchpad to update pipeline, notes, and next steps. The single interface makes it easy to update things on the go and keep our team informed on upcoming deals. Any time we have mandatory fields added to opportunities, the Scratchpad team is quick to hop on a call to help us customize the interface.
CONSI honestly can't say there are parts of Scratchpad that I don't like.

Incredible system for maximizing rep productivity
It has been a game changer for us since we are a high volume high transaction business. Lots of deals and notes to stay on top of. Scratchpad helps our reps stay organized.
PROSSolves several problems for us: manually updating tasks and pipeline in salesforce, staying organized and knowing what to do when, and manager visibility into deals. This is done in an extremely easy way in Scratchpad that saves our reps 1 hour per day at least
CONSTo be honest there is nothing I dislike about the software that I can think of. It gets better every week with new features too.

Make your AE life easier
There's no doubt that Salesforce is a powerful tool, Scratchpad just lets you access that power with less energy. It keeps me organized so I can spend more time selling and less time on Salesforce hygiene.
PROSScratchpad has been awesome for streamlining my day-to-day AE responsibilities. It houses all of my first-call notes, helps me track the next steps on opportunities so I can be sure to follow up in a timely fashion, and lets me update opportunities in seconds.

Buy this for your reps, yesterday
Updating my pipeline used to take up to 4 hours each Monday in addition to each update I would make with calls and emails that needed to be logged in Salesforce. This now takes me less than 30 minutes on Monday before our pipeline review and keeps me and my teammates much more on top of tasks and logging interactions with deals.
