Shared Contacts for Gmail vs. Streak

When working with several people at the same time, being able to access the full directory [with Shared Contracts for Gmail] makes things 100% easier. Provides a faster look at the company wide directory and grants access to contact whoever is needed. Now if its a company like mine; merged between two, sometimes it becomes a little complicated, due to the fact that it doesn't recognize some email domains (outlook based) and can cause problems sometimes when sending emails (you get an undeliverable email response, and sometimes the emails do get send and other they don't). And they won't pop-out as easy as a recommendation. First you would get the gmail based email and then the 'outsider' email.

If you receive a notification that a prospect just read your email and you don't receive a response, you're then aware they've received it and your pitch or product is on their mind -- making a call later that day all the more effective.

• I have been looking for a way to share our contacts within our organization for a while now. This process really improves how we were doing it within Google Sheets.
• My only negative is that it has taken so long for it to be functional within Google.

• Streak could improve in the way it first integrates into Gmail. When you clear Cache and Cookies it disconnects and then you can accidentally send out emails without open-tracking.
• It could improve by having a better import system for importing data into the "boxes" used for mail merges.
• It could be improved by having the ability to split reminders for companies, based on who you talked to.

They do a great job of explaining the product beforehand so support interaction is not needed as much.

Shared Contacts for Gmail is amazing to use when you need a lot of contact information on the go. If there's a medium level organization that needs a contact network that is easily accessible for remote work. I wouldn't recommend this for organizations whos works are based on leads and immediate revenue.

HubSpot was almost too freeform, I had a hard time grasping how it could work for me because there was so much that could be changed around. Streak was so easy to figure out without much time invested and I like that it just lives in my Gmail without needing to go to a separate website/login.

• Ease of contacts syncing across various device types helped minimize the tech support calls into our helpdesk
• Easy to use/self-help tutorials helped minimize the need to train end users

• As soon as we started using streak to email our list it cut down my time significantly. No longer did I have to copy and paste emails to everyone.
• Being able to track responses and follow up is amazing.
• Being able to contact people who are recommended to us but are not yet on our sales list has been huge.
