ConnectAndSell vs. FrontSpin

ConnectAndSell is incredibly helpful when it comes to getting people on the phone. In the world of sales, dials and connects are king and connect and sell works great to hit these two points. The ability to create lists is great, however, I would like to see more customizable options available for end-users to play around with.

Works extremely well for an SDR/BDR team whose main focus is outreach through phone calls. Less appropriate for organizations looking for email cadence or a Salesforce add-on to work within Salesforce.

• The amazing piece is that you can leave a voicemail with each of those calls and really only need to focus in on the calls that patch through.
• One thing that has been absolutely amazing about Connect and Sell is the amount of call volume you can get in a single day. We used to start out by having 40 calls a day to now exceeding 200 calls going out.
• It's been a product that we weren't sure of the business impact but we've already seen results from producing more conversations and being able to follow up with greater ease.

• Recording of calls and attaching to SFDC records
• Campaign lists
• Cost

• ConnectAndSell sounds way too robotic when the prospect answers the phone
• The implementation team is terrible. Donny was a horrible leader and did a terrible job of getting us going
• They have way too many bugs they need to fix at this point

• Ability to see Salesforce 'Event' types in the lead record.
• Make column edits sticky
• Keep doing a great job guys, love your product!

For the right reps who are good at talking to prospects who aren't expecting their call, this is a no brainer.

Trained a new recruit on FrontSpin in one session. It's very intuitive.

I have had a few support calls with their people. They are totally reachable and helpful, sharing screens, controlling my screen, showing why things happened, not just correcting it. If you have an issue with the software, let them help. They are there for you, and they are friendly, accessible, and happy to do their job.

They do well with their support. Wait times are low, and they are eager to help.

Lightning has a better success rate for connecting (in terms of it takes less time to connect using Lightning) but Lightning was definitely using shadier connecting tactics and also required the user to be focused intently when it connected you with a prospect. When using lightning, you needed to immediately speak and know your talking points while ConnectAndSell gives you better time to prepare.

The cost of ConnectLeader far outweighed the benefits in our specific case and didn't have most of the functions of Frontspin. Salesforce's and HubSpot's dialer aren't power dialers so you can't load a list and go. That is a HUGE benefit of FrontSpin.

• It is a little expensive.
• It does require management to keep lead lists lean and workable.
• It is tough to keep sales people motivated on it.
• It can feel overwhelming.

• It has helped us make a lot more calls and keep track of activities done throughout the day.
• It helps us keep a certain number of calls for each day.
