I am a B2B marketer and I've been using Closely for a while now. It's been easy to use and has helped me grow my business. The platform is simple to navigate and the customer service is amazing. I love that I can create follow-ups and send emails with my connection requests. I get a lot of quality leads with this tool. I can't imagine my business without it.

I love this service! I use it to find email addresses and LinkedIn URLs of potential customers. I am able to send a targeted email to the person with an invite to my website. I also use it to follow-up with people that are interested in my product. I love the ease and convenience of this service, and I always have new opportunities to connect with people I would never have met otherwise.

CRM can be improved, messaging a tagging. Also analytics for the campaigns. Will be great if Connections request that has not been answered can be reset

I love it! These guys are great! Can't get tired of repeating it!

I love their user interface and the fact that they're pushing updates all the time. Being able to create campaigns for multiple scenarios is cool. e.g. (able to target event attendees and group members).

I'd like to be able to add more prospects to the current campaigns and see what message step the campaigns prospects are in.

I bought this deal on appsumo, we bought 3 seats where able to only get one LinkedIn account working, the support is very poor and they are not helping with the problem Wich makes the tool useless for me, I am switching to another solution

The idea to have lead search + LinkedIn automation tools is great.... If I was just able to connect my LinkedIn account.

The LinkedIn connection doesn't work, I reported it to the support team more than a month ago and they just tell me they will review it and at the end they just stopped replying

Closely is and up and comer in the drip campaign business. It is still new and lacks many features, but does the basics well and for a reasonable price.

Great integration with Linkedin, enables easily creating campaigns for both linkedin and email.

Not many customizable options, no option to integrate linkedin and email campaigns.

It's easy to use, takes a bit of time, but I do other things while waiting

The sound quality of the AI edit, its pretty easy to use

The price and limits per month Its a downer, but you can purchase from from the sales team

Great experience

Easy to use and work perfectly for the Team as well - Love chrome extension and automation with it

Separate Plan for Inbox. I wish Inbox included with the Team Plan

1) Very easy to set up different campaigns 2) Helps save time by automating the reach to right prospects on LinkedIn

1) Limited campaign set up capabilities when compared to something like Waalaxy 2) Sales experience

I like Closely because it helps us automate our lead management process, and close more leads. We used to have a lot of manual work done by an assistant, and now it's all automated. I also like the way it shows me who is most active in a campaign, so I know who I should be talking to next.

I don't really dislike anything about Closely. It's mostly great, but sometimes it doesn't work for us. We have a lot of campaigns, and it takes a while to get everything going.

It was recommended to me by someone who did a lot of research. I have never used another platform like this before but it still seems pretty good value for money. It was also the way I found a promising lead. I love the warmup mode.

Easy to set up and understand, I have never used anything like this before but never found any issues understanding what I needed to do

Seems a little buggy sometime, I had an issue trying to set up a campaign with a search result of 12000 users

User interface and more likelihood of direct dials in their database

Some contact infos are yet to be updated it seems, old datas , people who left or retired from org.

The explorer tab is useful if you can't find a particular company's email using a tool like Snov.io. The platform is intuitive and easy to use, unlike LinkedIn helper. The deal they run on Appsumo is perfect for startups!

Unlike Dux-soup, you can't keep adding people to 1 campaign, you have to recreate the campaign and add more people that way. There also isn't any easy way to duplicate a campaign and recreate it with the click of a button meaning you have to manually copy and paste everything, every time you want to reuse the same campaign for different leads, which is pretty time-consuming. That said I spoke with customer support about this and they said they are working on this feature already, the fast response time is appreciated. Closely claims that you can respond to LinkedIn messages natively within the app but I noticed a bug when doing so, as my replies didn't showcase when I logged into LinkedIn so it made me doubt if that person was indeed getting my messages or not.

I have been struggling with prospecting for quite some time and it was beginning to consume way to much of my time and energy, with Closely I'm on top of it I'm excited and I'm organized more than ever before my anxiety levels have dropped and my interactions reflect that so I can convert prospects into customers into clients with ease.

This has to be the easiest software set up I have ever done and after watching four concise videos I'm using almost all the features with ease and understanding.

I haven't yet found that one thing I would change so I am actually thrilled.

In summary, has lots of promise, but this is an early stage product (but that is what investing in LTD is all about)

looks good, and if everything that is on their website that they say is part of the product is actually implemented then this could turn out to be a wise investment. Positives: ability to strip from LI those that have also liked a post (not able to narrow to only those that commented though) and add them to a connection funnel Invite by email function looks promising

Cons: the stats could be more detailed - ie allow you to drill down into who has or hasnt accepted connection requests. There is also mention in their documentation about the ability to swap in Invite by Email when it can be discovered so as not to waste part of your 100 weekly allowance, but the documentation doesnt seem to match the live product.

It is going to be amazing software, but it still needs some tweaks, and features added. There has been a lot added in the last year so I expect this will be great when it matures.

It finds leads from LinkedIn quickly and saves them to a csv file.

I would like to see an email warming function. Email campaigns need to be loaded from a csv file and don't connect to the LinkedIn scrapped contacts found.

LinkedIn automation is amazing, especially being able to exceed limits using the email connection request feature

Nothing, everything is great, I could some people not liking the low email credits.

Really good would recommend.

Really enjoyed using the product. The analytics help us scale much faster.

Needs a better interface for advanced outreach.

The software is easy to use. Customer service is fairly quick to respond. I'll keep the purchase on the idea that they will make the first level contact a PRIORITY.

The software is easy to use and will be a "Player" in the future as long as they keep the "roadmap" going.

It currently does NOT have the availability to contact current first level connections. Frustrated that its not yet available, but they say 3-4 months. That's a long time.

Software is easy to navigate and documentation allows for easy setup.

Would like additional features within the product.

Closely has created several good leads and grown my network significantly.

I love that I can set it and check in once a day for just a few minutes a day, everything runs smoothly and leads are generated and qualified with little effort.

I wish the software would delete connection requests after a designated amount of time. Deleting these requests in a time suck but needs to be done to prevent issues with LinkedIn flagging your account.

I love it, I used other lead sourcing softwares and Closely is in my top 3.

It's super easy to use and the workflow is easy to manage. I love that it is a chrome extension that is integrated with everything from Google to various major CRM platforms.

I wish it could get phone numbers and zipcodes but that is probably impossible. This kind of information can be of use to build a more detailed database.

Closely has added another arm to our business and takes full control of lead generation.

The LinkedIn growth feature is extremely useful as it allows us to reach out to extremely targeted leads and connect with people on a daily basis.

There have been a few bugs here and there but the team is extremely responsive and are more than happy to fix any problem I have.

One of the worst UI I've ever used. Difficult to navigate and set up.

Nothing at all. I can't say anything good about the Appoint module.

They are trying to milk their current LTD customers by launching new features that are in beta testing and they are integrating those in the current UI, making it difficult to navigate for those using just one module.The Appoint module is the worst appointment tool I've ever seen. Poor UI, horrible embeds to add it to your website, big branding for paid customers.....

It helps me grow my linkedin account on autopilot, plus I got some leads for my business.

Closely is very easy and straight forward to use. Basically it is configured in less than 5 mins and than runs on autopilot.

I wish the statistics and the inbox messaging was updated more frequently, as now there is a delay in the messaging.

Fantastic - I love it - easy for agency business if you have multiple clients in various domains

If you are using LI for leadgen, this is a fantastic tool to have - recommend for founders/ 1 man company/ lean sales team

Limitations on ( LI profile) on number of invites / Email sent per day

The interface and usability was great and modern.

Not about the software itself, but the sales follow-up was a bit too agressive for my taste.
