"The Best Sales Soution for a Small Business"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

Slick interface (web/app), intuitive (no learning curve), customizable, low-cost.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

The forecasting features have room for improvement / to be customizable in a way that makes sense for our particular business.

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

So great to track leads now, some of which can take up to a year or more to close. Conversations are recorded for everyone to look back on later and get a sense for where things stood at the last go around. The confidence levels really help Operations in planning effectively based on the Sales Pipeline.

"Useful CRM solution"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

Nutshell is a powerful CRM tool. Our team has taken especially advantage of the lead tracking and Gmail integration. It’s been very helpful in allowing our team to work collaboratively on tracking and progressing on leads. The Gmail and Mailchimp integrations are fantastic and help us to be in sync and efficient.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

1) Outbound emailing from Nutshell could be improved. Seems like I cannot cc when emailing from within the platform. 2) More flexibility with pipeline steps. We’ve noticed that our pipeline steps don’t always occur in the same linear order, so we advance to a step only to realize that some previous steps still need to be completed.

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

Lead tracking, staying in sync when reporting progress across team members, ensuring leads are not forgotten or dropped

"Perfect for small to medium sized businesses"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

Nutshell has all of the features we need without any of the bloat that we don't. It also has API access, which has allowed us to integrate it deeply with our other systems.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

It would be nice to have just a tad more flexibility.

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

We've tried a number of CRMs, and Nutshell is the perfect fit for us. The web interface is simple, and the API interface has given us the ability to integrate it into our sales automation system and the backend system that we developed in house.

Hands down the best experience we have had with Nutshell is their customer service. Any time there is an issue or something we need some help with, their customer support is amazing!

Nutshell's app is not as user friendly and doesn't have as many features as their web based program.

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

Being able to see all of our leads and being able to track down the different stages of our customer allow us to capture more customer sits and also allows us to follow up with customers at the right time.

The best thing about Nutshell is the ability to integrate with other platforms and ease of training new users. The way the pricing structure is set up really caters to small business and that is very hard to find in the CRM arena.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

I dislike how automated some things are as it opens the door for users not taking control of the database and overall data integrity.

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

We are solving our sales and lead cycles. We are also using it as a database management tool and have realized that this tool makes everyone much more efficient!
