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

It is a great tool to keep track of all customer contacts & interactions. I am able to see who is opening emails. Also great to track closed leads & always know what my sales numbers are. Lots of options to help you customize to suit your needs.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

I would like to be able to create a sortable report that shows customers & orders (based on leads I have input) It may be something available to our admin but I cannnot find a way to do as a user.

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

It helps me to stay organzed & keep track of all coorespondance.

"A game-changer for our company"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

1) Nutshell Marketing. Has revolutionized our ability to stay in touch with clients, to market to clients, and to move freight. Literally equivalent to an FTE, or more. 2) Project Management. Allows us to keep up-to-date tabs on 100+ simultaneous projects. 3) Customer Support. Prompt. Genuinely interested. Genuinely helpful and responsive.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

Apart from a couple of niggling details, I have zero complaints about Nutshell.

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

See above. Nutshell has been transformative in helping us improve our marketing to and communications with clients and service providers. We are SO much more efficient. Our weekly sales/project reviews have been driven by Nutshell for years. In our busiest season we need to track dozens of projects in various stages of sales, implementation, and closeout. I cannot imagine how we would do this without Nutshell. I know we are using only a fraction of Nutshell's total capabilities, but that fraction is absolutely critical to our sucess.

The ability to tailor and organize entries for your purposes + the email plugin to track activity

It gives me a single source of truth for outreach activities to a large area with many people doing outreach

What do you like best about Nutshell?

Nutshell helps me keep all my leads, contacts, documents, and notes connected. I really utilize the tagging feature to organize all my data.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

I wish the mapping feature was more interactive. Being on the road a lot, I like to see what clients are near by that i have visited before and may need to follow up with.

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

Nutshell solves the hassle of having to dig through emails and remember when the last time and where you left off with prospective customers. I really make use of customer contract end dates and follow up reminders.

"Easy to use and learn"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

I love how it's customizable and very easy to use. The customer support is amazing and they are beyond helpful whenever there is an issue, which is usually some user error. I use Nutshell daily and compared to other CRM systems it is much more user-friendly and customizable. They even have training videos and a chat feature to get assistance if needed. The videos are cheesy but in a funny way.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

I have not found something major to dislike. A small annoyance would be the name Nutshell. Spell/grammar check always sends up a red flag.

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

We use it to track everything. If we didn't have Nutshell we would have a zillion spread sheets.

"User friendly and cost effective"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

I love the attractive interface and how easy it is to import and manually add data. The reports are detailed and can be catered to almost any situation. I have used a few other products in this area, but Nutshell is by far the most user friendly and cost effective than the others.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

There are some features (like forms and drip campaigns) that are fairly limited. If you have specific targets and goals for campaigns that are based on specific dates rather than date ranges, this may not be the best solution.

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

Nutshell has an attractive space to keep track of leads, clients, and sales.

"Conveniently organized for all my prospects"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

What is most helpful about nutshell is how customizable it is. Very user friendly.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

searching through people sometime overlaps with the companies (which i use companies for building address's) and shows multpile people that should not be under the companies. However, I can filter out by the notes i put under the people colum, which works for the meantime. The app on my Iphone is not user friendly.

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

organizing and prioritizing.

"Crisp and clean CRM"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

Easy to add leads Easy to filter through leads Adding confidence level

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

One minor thing, but you can´t select category of a lead (e.g. automotive). You need to add a company and select category on a company level.

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

Overview of sales pipeline first and foremost. We have a clear idea of number of leads, pipeline size etc. Clear and easy to use.

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

Nutshell is very user-friendly and intuitive. It provides my small team everything we need to have a place to collect lead research and lead generations. We especially like that it has a map view instead of just a list of companies we have uploaded. The white glove import is a great benefit as well -- saves us time as we build out our new CRM. I've used it everyday since we got it up and running a few weeks ago and I feel like we already have the hang ot it because it is so easy to understand.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

No downsides really! I wish for white glove import you could attach a PDF but it is easy enough to convert a PDF to excel.

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

Creating an organized place to track business leads, current relationships, and pipelines.

"Nutshell = perfect CRM, pipeline management and email marketing platform for very small businesses"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

Nutshell doesn't have all the bells and whistles of Hubspot or Salesloft, and that's the point. It is a straightforward pipeline management/ CRM that can replace most of your average VSB owner's convoluted stack, for a low price. Their customer service is quick and helpful. Having worked on much larger SaaS teams, in fact, I can confidently say that few effectively use tools outside of what Nutshell offers. Integrations with Slack, PandaDoc, and Google Drive all work well. It's fairly easy to get started/implement – they'll help!

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

Nutshell is perfect for a very small business/most small businesses. I think the only thing I'd like to see them do is totally eschew enterprise. There are enough CRMs and platforms out there who market to enterprise and deprioritize the common folk like me :) Also, it doesn't quite stick as a daily-login-even-when-not-selling platform – I still rely on Asana/ClickUp for that. They integrate with Asana, but not ClickUp!

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

Nutshell helps me manage my business affordably.
