"The Only Way to Scale 10X"
What do you like best about Freshsales?

Freshworks is the perfect 360 integrated suite to automate your business, so you can truly scale and make your business predictable. You can now concentrate on managing outcomes, rather than managing tasks.

What do you dislike about Freshsales?

My only initial complaint was a feature I required within one of the systems, however, guess what, it's in an upcoming release and we have an interim automated workaround.

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

A fully Integrated System and 360 View of my business. Stop the reliance on managing people to perform tasks, and create a system that allows outcomes and the ability to easily scale. The benefit is Process and Tools based Real Estate Business, which can be utilized and segregated for any starter or current employee. My IP is now built into a system and can't be replicated by anyone.

"Great platform, simple to use, great pipeline management."
What do you like best about Freshsales?

The stages are really helpful and the notes and data helps me keep organized.

What do you dislike about Freshsales?

I really really dislike that you can't manually manage the lead scores. The algorithm is helpful but it'd be cool if you could manually drag up a lead to the top of your pipeline. The score doesn't always reflect the lead quality.

"Best tool to track the sales team activties"
What do you like best about Freshsales?

It is one of the best tools to keep an eye on sales team activities. Most of the things we can automate which will help in minimizing the manual errors. It is a must tool that will provide a complete dashboard of all the activities like lead stage, opportunities, calls, emails etc. It will reduce the manual

What do you dislike about Freshsales?

It is not DIY model, support is required to start using the tool. It is loaded with heavy features and hence creating a dashboard & report is a bit difficult. A lot of effort is required to create these things and requires high technical knowledge as well

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

The generation of reports & creation of Dashboard is a bit difficult. If this feature has been made simple then it would be great to use the tool. Apart from that, it is very useful to manage our sales leads & follow ups

"Freshsales Review"
What do you like best about Freshsales?

I enjoy that I can formally log and see my sales each time I have one in the pipeline. Having the ability to log and formally plan meetings that is directly linked to my google calendar makes it easy to set multiple appointments. The legend is also super easy and makes getting new appointments or leads inputted easy.

What do you dislike about Freshsales?

I dislike that it takes a while of getting used to, but I wouldn’t say that’s a bad thing because once you are used to it it’s very helpful.

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

I have fixed synchronizing time zones for clients, keeping a solid track of my pipeline. The rotten feature where you see leads haven’t been worked at all, and 30 days notifications really help to hold you accountable to sales possibilities that you may have forgotten about.

"Great tool to improve marketing"
What do you like best about Freshsales?

Freshsales best feature in my opinion is the customization. This allows us to fully customize our experience and tailor the app to our specific requirements.

What do you dislike about Freshsales?

I love the fact that Freshworks offers highly customization digital tools for almost anything; however, sometimes switching between apps or making changes to top-level account or profile settings is a bit clunky.

Keeping track of leads throughout the sales process and building a database of current and prospective clients.

"Freshsales has changed my life as a salesperson"
What do you like best about Freshsales?

Automation is the best part. I've been able to create a process when someone inquires on our website that feels to them like a very personal welcome message to schedule a call. Then if they don't reply it continues to follow up with a sequence of emails to check in with them until eventually letting them know that I'm removing them from the docket and then automatically removing them from my list. No more time wasted following up with leads that inquire online and then never pick up the phone or reply to an email.

What do you dislike about Freshsales?

It would be great if the tech support people would look at your situation and give recommendations on how to accomplish what you're wanting. Every time I've submitted a ticket they respond in an unhelpful way and each time I follow up with a question on how to accomplish what I'm trying to do. Eventually, we get there. I just wish I didn't have to handhold them to get answers on how to make things work for my sales process.

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

It's a huge time saver. In addition to the CRM, I like how I can see when people have opened my emails.

What do you like best about Freshsales?

I’ve been with them now for a couple months and they’ve been phenomenal. Constant zoom meetings to improve using the CRM. Definitely recommend to others.

What do you dislike about Freshsales?

Not too much to say as far as what I don’t like, but, the only minor issue would be that the call center is all Indian and sometimes they can misunderstand what I’m trying to portray. This is only minor though and path from that they are an amazing company.
