The ease of use when it comes to creating sequences and adding prospects to the system.
There is not a single thing I dislike about Mailshake
Easy way to set up sequences for follow up campaigns.
I like the simplicity. I like the G-Suite integration. I like the support. People are always willing to help. And now you get automatic suggestions as you create your Sequence. If they think your email is too long, it lets you know. I love the lead gen part too. You can create a Drip campaign and then just check your numbers. I'm about to test the A/B option, although, I'm certain it's awesome too. I'm in a number of Facebook groups for Internet marketing and I always boast about the service from MailShake. I haven't found a flaw yet!
That I didn't create it. It's almost like I did. I has everything I need. There is nothing I dislike about this service. Nothing.
Cold outreach emails for customer acquisition. With the customization available, I can further segment my targets and create mini-campaigns that speak directly to them. This has helped me increase my business where growth became stagnant. With the customization and the drip option, I can create a campaign and then I'm only limited by the number of emails G-Suite will let me send in a day. That's it. Since utilizing MailShake, my business has grown over 200%. It's all from cold outreach emails. I can't ask for anything more.
It's super easy to use. Drag and drop contact list, automatically notify me of recipients who are affected by a separate campaign (And remove them quickly with a click), easy to build templates.
Can't think of anything for now based on the specific purpose of usage we look to achieve.
Sending out sales campaigns
Mailshake is amazing for our business. We already had a list of a few hundred potentially interested clients that we collected from our landing page. We could have imported them into MailChimp or MailerLite, but that would be overkill. Plus we only needed a plain text email and preferred doing a drip campaign. It was so easy to put everything into an excel spreadsheet, upload it to Mailshake, and get emails sent instantly. Plus it works straight out of Gmail!
Mailshake could add another email provider on top of Gmail. Gmail limits you to about 500 emails a day, so if you need to send more than that, you're out of luck.
We have been able to reach and follow up with hundreds of interested individuals and have gained leads that we were able to convert into deals. Email is ancient, but at the same time the future!
The ease of use and design. Their support, I asked them a couple of questions and they got back to me quickly.
Can’t think of much. Honestly. The design is very nice and I haven’t had any issues so far. But this is just my particular case
Before using mailshake I was using separate tools for my email marketing and it was all fine at the beginning, but when campaigns and lists start to pile up, it was really hard to keep track of what’s going on. With mailshake I know exactly where in the process each email I send is at any moment, and it gives me real time feedback on my campaign and suggestions when I’m composing my emails !
Simplicity and Zapier integrations, they are absolute game changers. Mailshake is efficient way to reach out to your potential backlink vendors. I love the design, simplicity and intuitiveness. Their educational courses are on-point, and I strongly suggest you take advantage of them early.
Pricing is a bit steep, especially for startup businesses. The value is there, but in the first few months of learning how to utilize it, there is awful much money wasted. Especially complex for busy entrepreneurs that are tackling multiple projects at the same time. There is a learning curve to making this work, that goes beyond just software features.
Cold emailing for the sake of backlinking. It really streamlines that backlink acquisition for the SEOs. If you are an SEO that does outreach, you will definitively get the benefit of using Mailshake. Zapier integration will also prove to be quite effective, and can allow you to merge your sign up forms and your email marketing campaigns. Sequences can help you stay on top of your link providers on auto-pilot.
Perfectly set up tool that never whacks you. I used to work with the other cold outreach tools, and they all had one feature: lots of functions, and not a single works properly. Mailshake does not have an automated email scraper, but it does a great job in setting up the campaigns.
Inability to edit the templates outside of the campaign, and integration with Zapier sometimes makes me sad. I'd better make the direct integration with the Google Sheets via API.
Cold email outreach, guest posting, link building
What I like the best is the easy use of the software. It makes writing emails more fun & I really enjoy using Mailshake everyday. The customer service is also very good. They are so responsive when getting back to you. The support is there 100%.
What I dislike is honestly nothing at all.
Being able to write, track & improve my emailing.
Simple straightforward platform. Great support - free review of the campaign. Great blog, although that could be a bit better, although giving free advice is not their business. Pricing is very competitive as well.
Tracking link clicks - they provide this feature but then they say this could get negative marking from google but then how do other companies do it. Maybe everyone faces this issue but only these guys are upfront about it.
Getting more clients.
How helpful everyone is when I have a question. This tool is hands down the best investment I’ve ever made.
It’s all great so far so I don’t think I dislike anything yet
Time. It has saved me sooo much time
I was sceptical at first. Thinking no this is just another platform for me to spam connection. But after using it once I was blown away by the results. I had an average campaign, that yielded some good results. But what was more amazing, the fact that one of the team members spent the time to create a video reviewing my campaign and gave me some great help!
At first, it took me a little bit to understand, as any platform does. Their customer onboarding took care of that really quickly.
Leads, we need more leads. (As does everyone). Even if our campaign failed (Which is didn't) I would still recommend this service. Because one of the team will jump on and help you become successful. For the price, we pay we don't deserve any attention. But the team doesn't care if you pay 1,000 a month of barely anything they are always there to help out!
I like the customize-able fields so that I can speak directly to a bunch of clients or get cozy with new ones.
I sometimes forget to properly clean my lists before I'm about to send and need to go back through the whole download .csv list process... no biggy as the content all matches up afterwards
Contacting our client-base and following leads
Easy to use, and produces results. Works with G Suite out of the box, so powerful email.
Not anything. I like that you guys keep improving it.
Outreach and cold emailing has always been a pain, but no longer.
I love how easy it is to set up rules for different email chains, and track the open and bounce rates.
Nothing - it's been great so far. We love mailshake.
Mailshake has given us a way to send out many emails and make them look personalized and professional. It saves our reps a ton of time.
Mailshake is amazing. We are using it for outbound email and getting outstanding open rates and reply rates. We also use it for emails to users during the trial period of the product - I love how it automatically pauses people when they have replied to a message. The link tracking that points to a subdomain is an amazing feature too.
I wish that it would pause not just drips but also new emails when someone replied. I also wish it was easier to pause all the contacts at one company and generally manage outbound to different contacts at one company.
Mailshake is our go-to tool for outbound cold email as well as converting trial customers down the funnel.
Ease of use, multi-user access, great reporting and interface. It is very easy to use and train staff in the software. The whole design is simple, extremely friendly with all the tools I need. Most important is the deliverability and open rates on email. A lot of this is down to the quality of the list, but I have no issues as it connects directly to my legit google business account to send.
About the platform, really hard pressed to find anything, I think the limitations and price are very fair. Being very nitpicky, I would like to see some pre-formatted campaign reporting or summary notifications in the future, and further integration with other platforms.
Being able to schedule and automate sequences in other time zones is huge. Absolute godsend software. It completely takes the pain away from my team having to worry about the delivery method. We can very quickly build an outreach project or re-engagement with this tool.
Very easy to use. Good content regarding best practices.
Analytics could be better, some limitations in the email cadences you can create.
Using it for efficient outreach to prospects
Easy upload of lists and easy editing of emails.
Inability to edit lists once uploaded but the workaround is to edit the source list and upload it again.
Autoresponders are great tools for any business as they can save a huge amount of time and effort.
For the price, this is the fastest webtool to inbox... be up and running in only a few minutes
The scheduling tool could use a bit more work.. but it is VERY powerful once you understand it
Getting new customers! I generate new leads every day
Easy to get started and use, high deliverability, and great customer support team
Limited analytics, you can't create bespoke emailo sequences based on an action (e.g. a click) and you can't upload lists for bulk deletion
Email marketing to prospects in a way that gives us some data on engagement metrics, and gives us a simple, all-in-one platform to manage lists and campaigns
