"Fantastic Software for sales and lead tracking"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

Nutshell is super user-friendly. The whole team can see what everyone else is working on with regards to phone calls, emails, tracking of projects, etc.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

The only functions of Nutshell I dislike are that when calling from a lead the call blocks out the name of the lead. The other thing I do not like is when you are tracking multiple leads, with the same companies and same people it lumps them all together and can take a bit of time to figure out.

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

Team communication for projects is at an all-time high. From sales to customer service we all know what is going on with any given project in our system

"They said we needed to build our own CRM! But then I got us on Nutshell."
What do you like best about Nutshell?

Nutshell is incredibly flexible. You could use it to sell products or services. We end up using it to sell services and have made it work extremely well for our business. It's open API allows us to pipe data into many different parts of our business infrastructure. This has enhanced our ability to forecast sales and finances in a way we weren't able to before.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

There really isn't much I don't like. We had to do some finagling to get it to work for a services company. A nice feature might be to allow for a bifurcation between product and services companies.

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

Transparent communication across our organization about sales status, concrete reporting about the value of our sales funnel, and the performance of our sales team.

"Simple and easy to use"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

Client information is all in one place and easy to retrieve.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

I wish that Nutshell would link to my MacOS mail and message accounts.

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

Before Nutshell sharing information with our team was time consuming and in a lot of cases duplicated work.

"Drive Growth with Nutshell!"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

Simple UI, powerful growing features, analytic tools that create opportunities for real optimization across the funnel. The Nutshell team gets it. Nutshell accounts for the needs of a real growth team, which means having a tool that is as useful to the day-to-day work of sales teams, sales leaders, and growth leaders. Some would say the tool isn't "enterprisey" enough, but they would be wrong. There is extreme danger in the "total flexibility" and customization that other CRMs and Growth Software say they offer. Nutshell has made the important decisions for you, trimmed all the fat created by useless bells and whistles. Instead, they've built a software that provides a framework that fuels focus on all the most essential elements of revenue growth. And if all that wasn't enough. They have the greatest customer support and success team anywhere. Full stop.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

The only thing I wish Nutshell could do was build faster. They have amazing ideas on bringing sales and marketing together into one, single, growth software. And they started in the right place. The Hubspot's of the world are built from the top of the funnel down. Nutshell is built from the bottom of the funnel up, which should be the priority of every growth team. I want more Nutshell!

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

I'm building a better sales process, optimizing that process, measuring sales activity, optimizing activity, improving win rates, growing revenue, forecasting, collaborating, and more.

"Great for Organizing your Sales Process"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

I love that each step is completed with each customer, ensuring a streamline experience for all of our customers regardless of the sales person handling the job!

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

It says it will record emails exchanged, but that has proven to only work sometimes.

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

Our sales process is specific and each step is taken with each customer despite the sales associate who is taking care of them.

"Great Features & Easy To use"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

Simple to use and makes sense. The search is fast too. It really helps me to keep customer information organized.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

No "dark mode". I wouldn't say I like that I can not have "parent" accounts or account "nesting".

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

Quickly being able to track deals

"Very Helpful, Efficient and Intuitive"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

It's a very intuitive system. It's not bloated with any unnecessary functionality and I can use it relatively easily on my phone.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

The app needs some work. I can access basic reports and functionality but it has a ways to go to catch up to the desktop version.

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

We're tracking admits / leads / calls to an addiction treatment center. It's streamlined our admissions process and gives me as a marketer much more actionable insights than prior solutions.

"Power of HubSpot at half the price"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

I have used a ton of CRM's and have loved many. Nutshell puts the rest to shame. All of the power that you have in a product like HubSpot like marketing automations and lead management automatio Nutshell has at a fraction of the cost. Also Nutshell's support is unparalleled. You can always get a human which is amazing.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

The on feature that I was missing was email marketing automations. I used to integrate with ConvertKit to compensate, but with the introduction of their new marketing email automation tools this is no longer an issue.

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

Keeps my team organized. Keeps my clients organized. Takes a lot of the IT burden off my plate and let's me focus on sales and marketing.

"So helpful for organization, company growth, and overview of incoming sales!"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

The chrome extension to log what's needed all from one screen!

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

No complaints just yet, some times I just need to add a new task title to my dashboard

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

Organization, keeping client contacts in one place, saving important documents to my client's page.

"Excellent CRM to keep track of all moving sales"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

You can customize it however you need it. It's not just built for one company in mind. It can be whatever you need it to be.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

The one thing that I wish I had more control over is the time frames that I can push back deadlines. Maybe Nutshell is already capable of this; I may have overlooked a setting.

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

We are solving a communication issue between our sales department and the rest of the team. Nutshell has become our way to show everyone what is going on and what needs to happen. This program has outstanding benefits, one being keeping information organized in one place.

"Excellent product, Fantastic customer service."
What do you like best about Nutshell?

I have used this product over a few companies, and I can tell you that it is easy to use, easy to learn, and very easy to set up. It integrates with many plug-ins to maximize it's value. The customer service is absolutely A+. The team is responsive, friendly, and truly class act. Because of the simplicity, the plug-ins, the ease in knowing exactly what tasks are necessary for the day, and streamlined drip campaign abilities, it is truly an enjoyable product to use. I should know, I've used it across 4 companies and set it up for three.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

I wish that products like Slintel or Zoominfo integrated, but i think given enough pressure, they will. Slintel has already expressed that it would be added to their sandbox.

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

Setting up a new company, with prospective customers, thought leaders, and partners. In the past, I set up three company's contacts information for campaigns and prospecting-easily delineating the different companies prospect and contact list. Prior to that, establishing sales leads by sales person. Prior to that, simply building out my prospecting list and creating email templates by vertical, as well as follow up campaigns. Very easy to use.

"The CRM and Email Marketing I have been searching since 1992..."
What do you like best about Nutshell?

This email marketing tool is integrated with a great CRM. I can send daily emails and weekly newsletters to multiple contacts. Reporting on opens and clicks is integrated with the CRM as well so I can follow with phone calls in real-time. I have used Constant Contact and Mail Chimp and various capacities. The Nutshell Outreach tool is just as powerful. Yesterday it took me 2 hours to build a complex email marketing piece and send it to 4K+ subscribers. This includes designing the campaign with unique images and headlines. I was impressed as this was only my third email campaign with the outreach tool.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

I wish there were more template emails. However, I can build most of what I need with the several email templates provided as a starter. Editing HTML email is cumbersome and this tool follows best practices for editing. YET, It is still hard to craft a solid looking email Template. They are adding functionality to Drip Sequences.

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

I can have a team of salespeople call their contacts in real-time as the newsletters are opened and clicked. We have hundreds of leads come into our organization monthly and can consistently & quickly keep in touch. We were able to implement a SOLID CRM into our organization on day one and not hire a consultant for a 6-9 month implementation.

"From our initial inquiry, the Nutshell team responded quickly."
What do you like best about Nutshell?

Their CRM is very flexible, but also easy to learn. We had spoken to two other CRM companies, but picked Nutshell because: 1. Their staff responded quickly and answered questions promptly. 2 .Their CRM allows us to build it for our needs, make changes and additions on our own. 3 .Other CRM system's we looked at were more expensive and needed more outside help to develop and manage.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

Any CRM needs a commitment to learn and use it regularly. It takes discipline.

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

We now have all our customers, leads, contacts in one database and can manage the information more efficiently. The forecasting and reporting features have gave us a better understanding of our business.

It is so user friendly and great UI. Everything I need is easy to access.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

The "click to call" button is dangerously close to the "delete phone number" button.

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

Tracking all leads and opportunities, visualizing sales pipeline, easy to access record keeping.

"Nutshell is a game changer for us"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

Nutshell is a very transparent, easy to navigate and flat view CRM platform. It's flexible, nimble and the Nutshell team is often making updates to assist with user experience. The support team is also extremely helpful and very responsive. It's just more straightforward to use than most other CRM tools, without losing any of the capabilities.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

A few very specific features are still very sales-product oriented, and we use the CRM a little differently than a traditional sales/product oriented team.

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

Nutshell helps us better track our active opportunities and stay accountable following up with leads to drive more future opportunities.

"NUTSHELL won't drive you nuts - but it will drive your business!"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

I've used many CRMs, and this truly is my favorite to date. Nutshell is extremely easy to use and customize, there isn't a huge learning curve to use it! I love that with a push of a button it connects to the system I use to my constant contact account. It has an auto phone dialer which I really like...it keeps me hands free so I can take notes while I'm on the phone! It is easy to create tags and schedule follow ups with this system!

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

The only thing I dislike about Nutshell is that it doesn't include a calendar. Otherwise, the system is perfect!

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

Nutshell efficiently helps me to be organized with my leads and helps me track my prospects through the sales funnel. This is a very efficient CRM!

I like Nutshell and have no dislikes at this time.

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

Before Nutshell I tried to keep track of leads on Excel, but it was not interactive like Nutshell is.

"Success with Nutshell"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

Nutshell is a fairly basic CRM, but that's where the beauty of the platform is. There's no extra "stuff" that makes the environment complicated or difficult for users to navigate. It's very straightforward to enter in new information, track leads and assess your pipeline.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

Nutshell's ease of use and simplicity does create an issue when it comes to reporting. There are limits to the reporting you can do in the system and often you'll have to export all the data to Excel to get analysis you actually want.

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

We used to track our pipeline in Airtable and Trello. With Nutshell everyone has visibility into what is happening with our pipeline, can see notes on interactions with leads and track the revenue associated with each lead. It's helped our team be more aligned on what is going on with our business.
