"Extremely pleased!"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

The platform is user-friendly, easy to set up and easy to make changes to as needed. The support from all the reps I have worked with since the beginning has been exceptional andI have not had a single question go unanswered!

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

Honestly, I do not have any complaints. If I had tried to set it up without assistance, I would have complaints; everything I have brought up to the reps has been handled effectively.

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

We had an extremely archaic system of tracking leads with excel and OneNote, numerous Teams messages among staff, post-it notes, copy and pasting e-mails, whiteboards, etc. Nutshell has completely removed all that and given us one platform to manage our entire CRM.

"FLAGSHIP"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

The email follow-up reminders go to the salesperson directly.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

By linking to my Outlook, unnecessary contacts have been added when our company only wants to track the incoming prospects/leads from our website.

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

Tracking the incoming leads turned to wins or losses.

"Great, user-friendly and customer focussed"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

When I first started using Nutshell, I had a few questions and Nutshell answered promptly. The interface itself is super intuitive, which means that the initial learning curve is manageable.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

I haven't found downsides, it's way better and more user-friendly than the alternatives that I tried.

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

I can see what I have on the go all in one place. That makes it easier to stay on top of things and I don't need to got to several different platforms to see all the info.

"3 Years of research led us to Nutshell!"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

There are many things... the ability to customize the program to my customers' needs and the ability to get a human being on the phone to work directly with me, when needed.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

The few things that I felt were missing, that I shared with NS, they eventually added and/or fixed. They really listen to their customers and are always evolving and improving their products when needed.

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

Keeping track of new leads, sending marketing emails and ease of tracking the necessary follow ups to those emails.

"Easy to use and…wait for it…100% buy in!"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

Nutshell is both simple & powerful. It's simple enough that our sales team actually likes using it and there's no pushback. It's powerful enough that we're able to get valuable insights into what's working, what's not and how to do better.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

The mobile app isn't as powerful as we'd like. A lot of our sales people prefer to do a lot of their work on phones and sometimes it's just not as powerful or simple as the web version.

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

Our business is very sales centric and Nutshell is our single source of truth. One place that shows who we're workign with, our customers, the activities and results we're getting and insight into ways we can improve.

"VALUE AT ITS BEST"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

The friendly support. They are a customer service-based company, not a sales company. No " Do you want fries with that?" here.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

Nutshell kinda stops where we want to start. With some meddling, I think we can make it work for what we need.

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

Keeping track of communication with customers and between management. It's been so nice having the phone ring and simply entering in the customer information and setting a task for myself. Helps me really stick to the follow-up I promised the customer or my team.

"Nutshell: A powerful CRM for growing businessess"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

Nutshell has become the backbone for our social media marketing agency. It allows for tracking of our leads and new sales; our clients and their communications, tasks, scheduled meetings, and communication logs; our monthly project management for each client; and helps to compile reports on the growth of our agency.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

Even when using fields such as CURRENCY, Nutshell does not offer the ability for spreadsheets to provide totals for each column. This requires me to export the data as a spreadsheet in order to view certain sum totals.

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

Nutshell works as our CRM for customer information and communications across our team. Our team is able to work nimbly and everyone in the organization is able to help out when required due to this transparency. It also works well as our project management tool thanks to tasking and custom events that we utilize as a work order form.
