Campaign builder an personalization can be done better

We work in sales for SAAS B2B, so Linkedin is our number one source of prospects, Expandi.io help us do this outreach masivley

Expandi has become my preferred tool for LinkedIn prospecting, delivering effective results. The standout feature is its campaign builder, allowing for a customized approach that truly makes a difference. It offers an excellent automated workflow for LinkedIn prospecting.

Adding the account posed some challenges, but investing a few minutes in the process proved to be worthwhile in the end.

LinkedIn prospecting, lead generation - B2B segment

Expandi has really stepped up my LinkedIn sales game in a short span of time. The cool thing about it is the variety of campaigns you can run. It lets you get creative and engage with leads in different ways.

As for the downsides, there's not much to complain about with Expandi. The cost might be a bit much for some, but considering what you get, it's a fair deal.

Expandi is helping me shoot out personalized messages to leads, and that's translating to way more engagement and responses. Ultimately, it's making it a lot easier for me to book more appointments. Mobile connector campaign is a huge advantage.

It's easy to set up campaigns. Our objective was to identify the most effective outreach strategy on LinkedIn. We tested different campaign types and messages.

Currently, I do not have any complaints.

Finding new clients and growing our following on Linkedin. Spending less time on manual work and more on messaging.

The best best thing about Expandi is how helpful their support team is. Very responsive and giving clear answers and instructions when help is required. The tool is great for automating your Linkedin outreach and messaging sequences. You can tag and filter all the searched leads

For me the feature that can be improved is the filtering, I'd like to be able to have more control over it and actually separate the searched contacts by tags. As well as be able to automatically tag a person after a certain kind of message was sent through the automated sequence of messages.

Automation of campaigns

One of the standout features of Expandi is its ability to facilitate highly personalized outreach. Users can tailor their messages with placeholders for crucial prospect information such as name, company, and other pertinent details. This level of personalization, even at scale, enables my team to establish authentic connections with leads, ultimately leading to increased response rates. While Expandi boasts a user-friendly interface, there's a slight learning curve, particularly for individuals new to cold outreach automation. Users might require some time to fully grasp and optimize all the features effectively. To address this, comprehensive training materials or tutorials could enhance the onboarding experience and expedite users' proficiency in utilizing the platform.

Expandi is easy to use, but if you're new to outreach automation, it might take a bit of time to get the hang of it. Some users may need a little time to understand and use all its features well. Having clear training materials or tutorials could help with this, we often use video tutorials, emails, articles - so I'd recommend investing at least some time for learning because you will find more insights there and really nice features.

Expandi helps with common challenges in B2B lead generation on LinkedIn. It makes it easier to connect with people, automates some tasks, and provides insights through analytics. By simplifying outreach, Expandi helps my businesses grow more efficiently, so I'd recommend this tool.

Being a complete novice to their SaaS, their customer service (especially Artur!) have been incredibly helpful in getting me over the setup hump. There's a lot of features for the money and I'm very happy with it so far.

Some parts of the UX are not the clearest, though to be fair this is my first time using a cold outreach SaaS and I'm sure at least some of that confusion is my own doing. Overall though the help docs did a lot to bridge the gap, as did customer service. One thing that could be cleaned up are their dynamic placeholders within the actual text of the messages -- the IF/THEN code inserted into the copy makes it a little difficult to ensure you're cleanly replacing everything you intend to while keeping spacing, grammar, etc intact.

I'm using it with VAs to perform cold outreach via LinkedIn and so far it's doing a great job.

The tool boasts extensive features, allowing seamless execution of any omnichannel strategy tailored to our company's specific requirements. Its noteworthy safety measures provide peace of mind against potential account suspensions.

While the current user experience and interface could use some refinement, it's worth mentioning that the Expandi team is actively addressing this aspect. I think Expandi has a great future.

By automating tasks such as sending connection requests, message sequences, endorsements, and interactions on LinkedIn, Expandi profoundly economizes the time previously spent on these activities. This translates to significant time savings, enhancing efficiency and productivity.

I like remarkable adaptability within the dynamic landscape of LinkedIn and social selling. Having explored various LinkedIn engagement tools prior to Expandi, this platform improved my approach, and I haven't looked back since.

Nothing specific that I find displeasing about Expandi. Any concerns I have are more generalized, related to LinkedIn engagement as a whole, and are thus applicable to all similar tools.

Expandi tackles a crucial challenge we face: utilizing LinkedIn as an integral part of our outreach strategy. The platform maximizes the potential of LinkedIn's rich dataset, offering an extensive array of tools for identifying, filtering, and extracting prospects seamlessly. This feature is particularly valuable as it streamlines the process of automating outreach.

I like the various types of campaigns that you can run with Expandi. You can build custom campaigns that really allow you to interact with leads in unique ways.

There really isn't anything that I dislike about Expandi. The cost could be an issue for some, but I think it is fairly priced for the feature-set.

Expandi is allowing me to send personalized messages to leads which is leading to much higher engagement and response rates which is helping me book more appointments.

As a Head of Sales I'm focusing on team management, ROI and overall efficiency. The platform offers open access to various features and accounts, facilitating seamless collaboration and transparency within our team. We can easily assign tasks, track progress, and share insights, leading to better coordination and improved efficiency across the board. Besides that Expandi changed the way we identify and engage with our target audience. The platform offers a wealth of features that have empowered us to scrape high-value audiences with precision and ease. By leveraging Expandi we can identify prospects based on specific criteria. This enhanced targeting has enabled us to tailor our messaging, ensuring that our outreach efforts are personalized and resonate with our audience. As a result, we have witnessed a significant increase in engagement and conversions, with much better reply rates.

Can't complain. Really like the product and customer success team.

Since integrating Expandi into our sales workflow, we have witnessed a remarkable transformation in our ROI, time management, audience targeting capabilities, and overall sales performance.

Ease of use and support from the team, whether its to do with the platform support or invoicing my customer success maanger is only a few clicks away. Our CSM, Leike is particularly supportive and always open to working through challenges we present.

As a whitelabel solution partner I would like the help section to be whitelabelled also, therefore I would not have to replicate the documentation onto our branding.

Expandi is providing B2B sales automation that supports our cold outreach strategy, providing a level of efficiency to help scale our approach. It allows us to manage multiple clients and users within each client meaning we can provide a self service, done it for you or with you approach.

No downsides that I experienced. Highly recommend

Scaling outbound prospecting agency.

I must say it has completely transformed the way I approach campaigns and searches on the platform. With its impressive features and intuitive interface, Expandi has become an indispensable tool in my marketing arsenal. One of the standout benefits of Expandi is its robust campaign management system. The platform offers a seamless and automated way to engage with potential leads, allowing you to set up personalized messaging sequences with ease.

The ability to create dynamic campaigns that adapt to various audience segments is truly remarkable.

Not many downsides. When the platform goes down, the support/dev team work day and night to ensure it's fixed. Highly recommended. They also use the bulletin board to implement ideas from their customers into the software.

Allows us to reach the right customers at scale without any hiccups with the software. We become 10x more productive using Expandi than any other platform. We've doubled our growth during that time.

This tool takes 10s of hours off of my work week by elminating time-consuming, repetitive outreach tasks and ensuring that my follow ups always go out on time. They always stay on top of product development and deeply understand the changing landscape of LinkedIn as a platform. They go out of their way to keep in contact and provide in-depth tutorials for their platform. The integrated inbox is crucial to my lead management, it's so comprehensive that I no longer need a CRM tool to manage leads. If my clients prefer to use a CRM, I integrate it with Expandi. Simple as that!

Sometimes, the platform can be a little slow to respond to clicks.

Lead generation, network expansion, automation on the highest level for engaging with prospects. I am far more productive with this tool than any other I have ever used in my agency for lead generation, and I implement it to carry out thousands of tasks per month for my clients.

I was looking for a tool that could simplify our lead generation process for a big team.

Effectiveness of Expandi in our outbound efforts and the additional value it provides for our product marketing team.

We've been using Expandi for more than 6 months and did not find any significant drawbacks

As a SDR team lead, I was on the hunt for a tool to assist with our outbound efforts. After testing multiple solutions, Expandi quickly stood out as the best option. Not only did it prove to be more effective than the other tools we tested, but it also provided additional value for our Product marketing team. We were able to A/B test messaging and positioning to update our buyer persona. As a B2B company, advertising can be costly, but Expandi proved to be a cost-effective solution that not only helped with sales but also with our product management and marketing goals.

We A/B tested campaigns and it's a valuable asset for our marketing team as it has allowed us to experiment with different campaigns, ultimately leading us to identify the most effective approach for our clients. The fact that we can integrate webhooks with Expandi is a big plus, and we appreciate the personalization features that allow us to tailor our messages to our target audience.

Everything is fine - don't have any complaints as for now

Growth in B2B, demand generation and nurturing. The LinkedIn automation tool is very intuitive and has aided us in improving our outreach and interaction on the platform.

I have been an early adopter of Expandi. Since the beginning, the tool kept all his promises. In terms of security of our LinkedIn's account, efficient outreach, time saving, there is no better tool on the market.

I can not find much to say about something I dislike. If I had to mention a thing, it won't be something negative but maybe something to improve :) At least for my use.

Time saving Efficiency in outreach No need to be a tech guy to set it up.

The Global inbox feature, the ease of reporting, the simple-to-use UI and their support

The Global inbox feature not being a part of all the available plans

Expandi solves the problem of reaching out on LinkedIn at scale with the advantage of replying to all the leads from the dashboard itself.

I’ve been thoroughly impressed with the software's ability to personalize and automate sequences for Linkedin prospecting. The possibility of sending automated LinkedIn event invitations to targeted audiences has streamlined our attendance and engagement rates which is obviously great. Expandi is a nice tool for its price for outreach efforts because of the many features they offer, relatively easy setup process, and communication. We significantly increased our reply rates more efficiently as we didn’t have to spend lots of time on routine and monotone work. I am satisfied with the product and can recommend Expandi as a great outreach tool.

There was a small issue with connecting the Linkedin account at the beginning, and the support team helped us quickly, so we are satisfied with the service, can’t complain.

Automation for our LinkedIn campaigns, convenient personalization, connecting with more people from our target audience, searching for the relevant groups, and event invitations.

I've been using Expandi for about 3 years now, and the thing that stands out the most is the adaptability of the platform. LinkedIn and social selling generally is a moving target, what worked yesterday, wont necessarily be the best strategy tomorrow. Keeping up with this and what is best practice can be a big task in itself, but with Expandi you don't need to worry about that, as they don't just have brilliant people in place to educate you on the best processes, they are also constantly evolving their platform to support new and enhanced use-cases. This means you can focus your time on utilsing the provided tools, rather than trying to figure out what are the best strategies. Having used many other LinkedIn engagement tools before Expandi, this was a game changer for me, and have never looked back.

There is nothing specific about Expandi I don't like, the bug bears I have are more broadly to do with LinkedIn engagement, and so these issue are common to all LinkedIn engagement tools.

We use LinkedIn as part of our outreach strategy, LinkedIn is a great place to identify prospects, with there rich data sets, Expandi really leverages this by providing the most extensive suite of tools to identify, filter and extract those prospects, in a seemless way. The key benefit is once you have your pool of prospects, you can automate the outreach in really compelling ways, from easy to use templates, complex decision flows, as well as engaging personalisation, such as image and GIFs. Our primary CTA is to book sales demo's, in the last year we booked 1,864 demo using this channel, the biggest channel for us by far and 100% this would not have been possible without Expandi.

The feature list is rich; once you know the tool, you can follow any omnichannel strategy you develop for your company's needs. I love the fact that it's safe so I don't have to worry about our accounts getting banned.

The user experience and interface could be revisited, but as far as I know that's what the team is working on now at Expandi. We created the step-by-step instructions for new team members so it's not a game changer for us. At the same time, if the tool becomes even more intuitive, it would be great and draw even more customers.

It saves incredible amounts of time you would otherwise use to send all those connect requests/ messages sequences on LinkedIn, liking, endorsing connections, etc.

It's a safer option in relation to other LinkedIn automation tools in the market. I love the smart automation feature; it allows me to generate highly personalized sequences.

Not much. Everything is likeable from the software to the customer support team.

Expandi solves lead generation at scale. I've been able to contact a lot more people by using automation rather than doing it manually on my own.

How easy it is to set and forget your sales sequence within Expandi, because it does all the work for you automatically. You can focus on coming up with the right message for your audience.

There are too many settings which are also good, that helps you set the right expectations for outreach. There are not many things I dislike, its all 100% good.

It belps me automate my sales sequences on and off Linkedin so I can focus on making a better impression for my clients. It is an amazing tool for sales and marketing.

I like the simplicity of the tool. You can tag your connections, sort out by recent activity, create custom searches, and manage the CRM the way you want.

I wish they'd provide content analytics like Shield so you don't need to have multiple software.

Staying in touch with key contacts and, sometimes, automating the reminders about upcoming event to the sign ups (summit or webinar).

Very easy to set up. I was able to have a rather elaborate outreach campaign created within about 30 minutes and I was confident that everything would work well. I like the stats and follow-up. It does make networking and business outreach easy for someone without the time to do it manually.

I have found that a few features are not located in prominent locations, or the settings are not explained for how they will impact the campaign. I also think there could be better guidance on what numbers to use for each campaign setting. The help desk is useful, but not immediate, sometimes waiting 10-45 minutes for answers.

Expandi has helped me automate my LinkedIn cold outreach and message with people without having to manually follow-up. It also has protected me from exceeding certain LinkedIn policies. It really has made my networking more robust.
