Drip Ecommerce CRM vs. Lead Liaison

Drip is my top recommendation for most people who have an existing business and audience and want to move beyond basic email broadcast and drip campaigns and start building out more personalized sequences. I don't recommend the tool for people starting out, or for anyone that isn't bringing in solid profit every month as there are cheaper tools out there to get started with.

You get dedicated support from Lead Liaison when onboarding and they are extremely helpful and patient. I don't know of too many organizations that have this type of dedicated support at the ready. However, on the downside, they seem to be enamored with rolling out updates constantly, and on many occasions, it doesn't seem to have any tangible benefit.

• I think the workflows from Drip are particularly well done. It is easy to see how someone might work their way through my system.
• It is easy to set up the campaigns as Drip walks you through each step.
• Drip shows you how many people have been on your website and how your forms are performing well.

• The form customization is perfect. Very easy to use.
• The insight we get from the form's (GPS) data is nice as we do not have to mandate fields anymore.
• The ability to pass thru a lot of data on the back end works for our process. The internal receiver (customer service or sales reps) of the form data knows exactly what campaign the lead came from, what clinical specialty is tied to the prospect and what product is of interest. All seamlessly.

Incentivized

• Pricing is a bit on the higher side but well worth it so long as you're using it
• Direct integration with Salesmate vs going through Zapier

• Sadly the data is bad. Real bad. We had 2600% ROI from a competitor product that only identified visitors by IP address. Where as LeadLiaison (offering this feature plus many others) did not fully give a return on investment in 12 months.
• The platform is confusing and not cohesive.
• The platform tries to do many things. They keep rolling out features but do not perfect them.
• The landing pages features is dreadful and needs to be much stronger for this type of product.
• The normally friendly face of the company turns against when you wish to cancel and stop using them.
• The platform is very closed off to integrations in comparisons with other solutions we've evaluated before and since.
• There is no community support, so all support has to come directly from Lead Liaison. This slows down solving problems even though their support is good. We suffered particularly due to being in a different time zone (we are in the UK).

Why move from a product that is help grown the speed on Marketing ROI? We see that the dashboards, flexibility and tracking are meeting and exceeding the business needs we had outlined. The support they provide is consistent, available and responsive. They will work with you until your issue is resolved.

One item you did not ask, but should be in around customer support. They do a great job of working with you, training and ongoing questions. Lead Liaison is always available and easy to get answers. The dashboards are great to gain business trends. The social media management is easy and a great way to ensure content is being tracked. The ability to gain tracking code for additional tactics. Our team enjoys the easy access and useability. We work with our clients to make sure they have a tool that we can use to scale for their needs. Lead Liaison makes it easy for us to help clients understand that Marketing ROI is closer to their finger tips than ever before.

Lead Liaison has tremendous support. I''ve never gone more than a hour or so without a response. They are quick to understand my request, review the options for solution and deliver the best option with the best outcome. Also, the good part is that I don't need support all the time because the product is so easy.

Any issue with the adoption of the product were on our end. I wish we had the band width to run faster so we can know more faster. Our team enjoys the dashboards and ease of using the product. I know our clients are appreciating the results of the information as well.

We decided to move away from Mailchimp when they announced the changes to their service plans. We cast a wide net and ended up boiling it down to Drip, Klaviyo, Omnisend, and Constant Contact. They all have a similar set of features, but Drip was willing to work with us on price instead of simply referring us to their tiered plans. Even though they don't have a direct integration with our e-commerce platform it was obvious they were willing to help us make the connection via their API.

We were poached from a competitor where we were getting 2600% ROI. This was a bad business decision on our part. Lead Liaison promised the same level of visitor identification with many more extra features but it never stacked up. After 12 months we actually did not see a return on investment greater than the original investment. Conversely the competitor has seen a 1700% ROI just in month 1 upon returning to them. So having using Lead Forensics before and after using Lead Liaison it's clear what the variable is.

• We've seen a 45 percent increase in customer survey completions, due to automated reminders and campaigns.
• We've seen a 10 percent increase in customer traffic on our website.
• We've seen a 300 percent increase in online credit applications on our website and form conversions.
