ver easy to use, easy to implement into webinar by text or email invitation, hardly need customer support as it is so easily used. i use it daily 7 days a week, it's got the write simple to the point features and yo can easily integrate it to any computer browswer while you're working
there should have been a welcome webinar introduction to use the software
eliminating in person sales.
The ease in which I can share my screen and use it directly to explain my work or when asking for assistance, I can get feedback from visual confirmation.
I don't dislike anything about this tool. The only problem that tends to come up is lag, which is just Internet problems.
While working remotely, it makes it easy to learn by watching others' work and letting them monitor my work to make sure I do my job correctly.
In a few easy steps, I'm connected to my cleints and they get the visual representation of what I'm trying to convey.
Some times the clients don't receive the connection link and have to type in the link in the brouser bar.
I don't know.
It the the easiest and fastest way to share and present to customers. I will have to restructure my work day if I don't have access to crank whell
One thing I would like to to is share the desktop, not only a tab. That would just a plus to the benefits of using CH.
Visual is crucial. You don't remember so ethi g you never seen. Very important to establish a visual connection when working temotely .
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.
Honestly, I have not found one thing I do not like as of yet.
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?
The ease of use and the sharing options.
Nothing is missing from this product. The product is great.
CrankWheel is essential in my business and I use it multiple times a day.
The send to a cellphone via a text message feature.
THe fact that I cant have a blurred background or use a green screen.
The ability to show my content with a customer that is not at his office.
Ergonomy of it all, very easy to use. that is what i prefer
nothing at all.. I have not experienced enough to find something i dislike
Easy to show the value of what we are presenting. Visual support is always good to have
It helps show the possible clients the tools we offer to help them
sometimes they don't receive the link via text or email
The company looks more legit to customers, because they are able to see what they getting
It's super convenient and very easy to use. Especially when I need to show something to a customer that they are unable to see on their side. I've been using Crankwheel for quite some time and it has helped me a lot!
I can't think of something that I dislike about it. I had no problems using Crankwheel.
Anything that has to do with marketing, where I need to show the client something about social media or a training call, as well as showing website drafts when the client is unable to see them.
It is easy to use, no complications signing on.
Sometimes it logs out, I assume it times out.
So easy to use, especially for the end user.
simple and easy to use and helpful. i really like it a lot i wish all of the people know about it
nothing honestly, it's really good for my clients and me
i can share my screen with my client easily
Ease of use and user friendly for the person viewing the shared screen
Not being able to have my name after forward slash without purchasing a package.
Need to share my screen with clients. Sometimes the link does not connect them to the site after being sent to them via email or text.
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.
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.
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.
I am happy to use crank wheel. It is a great tool for my business!
Small bugs but that is an internt issues not crank wheel all the time. P
Pause button is problematic at times
Crankwheel has always helped me deliver information to my clients effectively and quickly. It's a very simple service to use that allows me quick access to screen share. Thank you Crankwheel for helping with my business!
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.
I help businesses and families get in the best position for their health coverage, so using Crankwheel to present their options is the best way! It allows my clients and potential clients to fully understand their options.
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.
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
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.
CrankWheel is easy to use, and it works smoothly every time. The fact that a viewer doesn't have to install anything is excellent!
I like everything! I've been using CrankWheel for a few years and have had no problems at all.
I use it for work and never have issues with clients joining or staying connected throughout the session.
It is easy to download and is also very user friendly. It is also very reliable.
Truth is I really love it...It was a little different but once I started working it, I really liked it.
Ease of use is a big thing for me and CrankWheel is really easy and effective in the fact that it does exactly what it is supposed to do.
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.
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.
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.
My team uses Crankwheel on a daily basis to plan and host virtual events. Having the ability to select our screen, web browser or tab to share is nothing short of amazing!
I wish the basic package allowed more users.
CrankWheel allows my team to share any screen, browser tab or program window. This lets us have more control over what we share and keeps our security measures in place.
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.
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.
Sharing my screen while on a phone call quickly alleviates second-guessing what each of us is looking at on our screen.
That it is simple and quick as long as the recipient receives the messages/email
It glitches at times so when you're talking, sometimes you have to repeat or reset the app. Annoying especially during a presentation
haven't reported anything until now
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.
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.
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.
The best part of using Crankshare is that is easy, intuitive and works all the time. You can create the account easily, set it up and start using it no time. Their customer service is also excellent and responsive.
Can't think of a con really. More like if there are connection issues, it takes time to connect which is true for all such softwares.
Easy and fast connection with great presentations
