"Quick customer service and tech help"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

Easy to use interface! Awesome integration tools. Keeps track of emails sent to clients very easily and syncs with our financial systems so there's never any questions about if a client received or didn't receive communication!

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

There have been some reports in the past that we couldn't pull but I think that's fixed now. I wish it wasn't so easy to click back to a previous stage, but I think that's more of a user error.

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

Product sales tracking and customer / client communication tracking all in one place. Helps to not overlap in communication with our clients.

"Great software and exceptional staff"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

Love the support available through articles, staff and their support ticket system. Love that I can get with our "success stratgist" and discuss the way we use Nutshell and that we work together to form solutions and that feedback is forwarded on to the appropriate departments and followed up with in a timely maner.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

Nothing comes to mind, there are things that don't always work the way we need them. However, we don't always use functions of the CRM how they are intended to be used so we understand it's a give and take and we're happy to work together to help develop our use of the system .

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

Keeping track of our leads and making following up easy!

"Powerful, yet affordable, CRM for companies utilizing a next-action sales process"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

Nutshell CRM is an excellent solution that offers powerful yet easy-to-use sales process automation functionality. While we are a newer company, we sell to larger companies, so we have a longer and more complex sales cycle. Accordingly, we needed a CRM that was built for a stage-by-stage B2B sales process. Since our prospective customer and sales account targets are of high value, we utilize the next-action sales process. Which Nutshell is a perfect fit for, so that no leads in our sales process can slip through the cracks or allow the sales rep to skip sales process steps. Additionally, we wanted to have marketing functionality available with our CRM of choice, such as email marketing and landing pages, but didn't want to have too many add-ons or features that we don't need, which makes the CRM software too confusing to configure. If you're looking for a CRM that is easy to use, feature-rich, and offers exceptional value for money, the Nutshell CRM is an excellent choice.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

It would be helpful if Nutshell offered more professional services to assist us in connecting Nutshell to other software products, such as our accounting system. Since we are a newer company, and don't have the time to do this ourselves.

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

Need an affordable CRM, that was built to support our B2B/next-action sales process vs many CRMs are built to support a "mass B2C" sales process

"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.

"Important tool for a small team"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

We've been able to leverage Nutshell to connect with our website and help with our guerilla marketing. Nutshell is where all of our contact form leads from the website go to and it gives us a nice way to manage those and respond/track, etc. We've also been able to try out some targeted email marketing to try for some longshot contacts. It has been a good tool for us.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

Our team is small and we aren't all necessarily in the same category of employee. Working in the paradigm of a 1 user/1 license is not always practical. It's not that difficult, but it is one area that would be simpler if we could not explicitly rely on one user/one license.

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

Nutshell is a tool for us to track and keep all of our website leads in one place, track them and respond.

"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.

"Nutshell has been a great tool to maximize time and pursue leads"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

I love how easy it is to navigate. It makes the sales process super easy. The number of features are also a great addition and allowed my company to push newsletters on the platform and cut another login.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

I wish it was easier to assign contacts and leads in a mass form. You have to go into each lead and reassign them if you are changing them to a different rep.

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

Nutshell solves time-saving problems and allows our reps to make easy notes and keep track of each prospect/client in their pipeline. It also allows us to create newsletters and track sales analytics in one space.

What do you like best about Nutshell?

I cannot think of any downsides to Nutshell. They did not have the ability to have a calender that you could schedule but they now have that feature.

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

The best thing about Nutshell is it's user-friendly interface and intuitive designer which made my team to navigate and use effectively.

Ease of implementation, integration, customer support are some of the other factors which prove advantages of Nutshell.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

There's nothing to dislike about Nutshell I would like to point out. But in fact, Nutshell pricing is could be considered relatively higher compared to other various CRM options. But the fact that it provides better features than other services makes it highly demanded and high frequency of use.

"Flexible & Easy to Use CRM"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

Nutshell is ready to use right from the start, with simple integration set-up, but is very flexible. I've been able to customize it to fit our business with mutliple pipelines and offerings. It's complex in it's functionality but simple to use. We use it all day every day.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

As an Executive Search firm I've had to create a non-standard customization to have multiple contact types (employers & candidates). It would be a little easier to have that built in, but it works well.

"Simple Customizable CRM"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

I have used many CRM's over my sales career. I found that Nutshell is simple, yet powerful enough to help you be successful. It isn't overwhelming. I picked it up immediately without training and was able to use it from the first time I signed on.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

Sometimes there is a delay when updates are made to bsuiness information. I sometimes have had to wait a couple hours for information to update. Not very often though.

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

The ability to integrate with my email and track who I have emailed and when without having to input the information myself.
