"Amazing Product and Flawless To Use"
What do you like best about CrankWheel?

First, it is free to use. Crankwheel has an easy process to get you set up. After setting up, you can fully customize your profile to include a landing page and your meeting link name. I love how you can choose what to share on your screen such as only the browser, full screen, etc. Also, you have multiple ways to get a meeting link to someone which is so convenient if one way is not working for the person you want to share with. I can effortlessly share my screen with a potential client in less than 30 seconds which is so important in my industry.

What do you dislike about CrankWheel?

Honestly, I have not found one thing I do not like as of yet.

What problems is CrankWheel solving and how is that benefiting you?

Crankwheel is solving the problem of using my screen to share healthcare benefits plans with customers to ensure I am in compliance with my company and state regulations. It is helping me earn the business and trust of my clients. What more could I ask for?

"Quick and easy to use!"
What do you like best about CrankWheel?

The extension is so easy to add to your web browser. Just one click and you are up and running. Choose the best option for you and your client to share your screen, and off you go. Couldn't be easier.

What do you dislike about CrankWheel?

If you don't use it in a while, you have to put your email in, and get a pin to log back in. Not a hard thing to do, but it can be annoying. However, this is not really a big deal. It is super fast if and when you have to do this.

What problems is CrankWheel solving and how is that benefiting you?

I don't have any problems with Crankwheel, but the benefit is it is a super easy and reliable way to do a screen share with my clients. It is also incredibly awesome to have the option to direct them to my website after the presentation is over.

There are the rare occasions where the Crankwheel system goes down when trying to launch it, but it is usually solved once I reload the application. That usually solves all my issues.

"Crankwheel.com "Shared Screen Technology" highly recommended in Healthcare Insurance Policy Review"
What do you like best about CrankWheel?

In healthcare coverage industries [after showing all plans on crankwheel.com extension], sales seem to close themselves. Responsiveness and eagerness to grow Crankwheel.com affiliate marketing and individual campaigns create results- value propositions in minutes. Every professionl should have the access to presenting by screenshare tech that creates a value proposition virtually in just a click. I am api sharing wih CRM as an extention and it opens app with a viewer i seconds. The only delay is explaining tap the link when it shows up by text message, email, or vebally giving the client the link by phone.

What do you dislike about CrankWheel?

Crankwheel.com creates an experience without issues that performs consistently with invites even a beginner can be talked through daily for our entire industry and rarely find yourself communicating with tech support needed. I personally only speak with tech support by emails of new training and news on app and have not needed to call. I would recommend to anyone with a full desktop screen view need to get Crankwheel.com

What problems is CrankWheel solving and how is that benefiting you?

Covid has our healthcare presentation of policy reviews evolving from door-to-door presentations to virtual presentations and assessments. The performance of Crankwheel.com gives the client direct desktop transparency for policy review trusted by viewers.

"Great tool for screen sharing!"
What do you like best about CrankWheel?

I love that it is very easy to share my screen with people that I need to give a demo to. I simply email them the link and they click on the link and can see my screen.

What do you dislike about CrankWheel?

The viewer often views a delayed version of my screen. I would love they viewer could see exactly what I was seeing at that moment because I am always on the phone with the person.

What problems is CrankWheel solving and how is that benefiting you?

How to train people on our software product. CrankWheel makes it so that we don't have to be in person with our customers to train them on how our product works.

"CrankWheel for screen sharing"
What do you like best about CrankWheel?

This tool is simple to activate and access via your google chrome web browser's extensions. The end-user merely clicks on a link and connects to your screen.

What do you dislike about CrankWheel?

From time to time, you will need to re-authorize / verify your account with a code emailed to you by CrankWheel. Not sure why it does this, but it's not a huge issue, you are then emailed a six-digit code that you enter, and you are off to the races after that.

What problems is CrankWheel solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sharing my screen while on a phone call quickly alleviates second-guessing what each of us is looking at on our screen.

"A New Players In Conference Call Lines"
What do you like best about CrankWheel?

CrankWheel is extremely easy to use for both the user and your clients! I am am to easily send the dial in number regardless of the country they live in and they are always there! The other asset I love is within seconds after being on the call, I am emailed a replay of the conversation that I can go back and listen to at anytime. I oftentimes save and pin to SalesForce as well.

What do you dislike about CrankWheel?

I really havent found much that I dislike yet. Nitpicking, but their Google Chrome Extension loads a little slow at times, but that has really not been a major issue at all.

What problems is CrankWheel solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to easily setup and then perform conference calls at ease. I am not missing out on as many calls as I had been previously because the person couldnt get in etc.
