"Great application that makes my company stay connected to customers and leads"
What do you like best about Podium?

The convenience and ease of use are two factors that make this application an excellent tool for many different departments in my company.

What do you dislike about Podium?

Being locked into a contract with a higher price tag is one negative aspect, but it would only be an issue if the application weren't serving our purpose and providing a return on investment.

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

We solve response time issues, lead and customer engagement, sales, customer service, and internal communication with leads and customers.

"BEST THING WE HAVE IMPLENTED IN 2020!!"
What do you like best about Podium?

CUSTOMER INQUIRIES THAT GET INSTANT RESPONSES TO CUSTOMERS WITH OUT ANY CALL IN TIME HAS MADE OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE RATINGS GO SKY HIGH BECAUSE WE ARE ABLE TO REACH OUT TO MORE CUSTOMERS AT ONE TIME. IT ALSO GIVES US REVIEWS OF OUR EMPLOYEES OUT IN THE FIELD SO WE CAN GIVE THEM THE PAT ON THE BACK THEY DESERVE FOR EXCELLENT FEEDBACK.

What do you dislike about Podium?

I HAVE NOT FOUND ANYTHING TO DISLIKE AT THIS POINT.

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

MORE POSITIVE REVIEWS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS AND GETTING MORE INQUIRES FULFILLED IN A BUSINESS DAY. IT IS ALSO GIVING SOME PEOPLE COMFORT IN INQUIRING ABOUT PROBLEMS WHEN IT COMES TO PEST CONTROL. PODIUM HAS BECOME A MUST HAVE AS IT IS INCREASING THE CLOSING RATIO ON SELLING SERVICES,

What do you dislike about Podium?

Inability to integrate to the crm to send over the leads automatically. Everything else is good.

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

Zero wait time to interact with customers coming to the website

"Awesome, user friendly program that streamlines communication for all"
What do you like best about Podium?

Gain reviews. Super user friendly & easy to manage. Easy to engage residents of all ages as well. Podium does the hard work for us. Love the templates & manageable internal features like assigning the convo & etc. Also allows for all user to interact flawlessly & find messages quickly. Last but not least assigning the convos allows for us to track who is not responding quickly & get with them.

What do you dislike about Podium?

We engaged this program to attract investors, but our tenants keep using it. Not yalls fault. Also the notifications dont come thru as quick as we'd like for our internal users so sometimes we dont respond as quickly as we could. has BUt overall we cannot complain much. The software has sold itself over & over based off the benefits we have received.

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

Attracting investors, streamlined communication. We have gotten more reviews & gotten more residents because of this. We have also attracted more investors & been able to talk to residents quicker.

"VERY EASY TO USE & AWESOME QUICK WAY TO CHAT WITH CUSTOMERS!"
What do you like best about Podium?

ITS VERY EASY TO USE! IT EMAILS YOU WHEN SOMEONE WRITES YOU BACK WHICH IS A PLUS JUST BECAUSE SOMETIME I CLOSE OUT OF THE PAGE AND I GET BUSY AND FORGET TO CHECK BUT WITH THE EMAIL ALERTS I AM ABLE TO KNOW WHEN A CUSTOMER HAS WRITTEN ME BACK! I LIKE THAT EVERYONE IN THE COMPANY CAN SEE THEM, BECAUSE SOMETIMES WE DONT KNOW WHEN A CUSTOMER NEEDS HELP AND OUR MANAGER WILL COME TO US AND ASK US TO JUMP ON AND TALK TO CUSTOMERS.

What do you dislike about Podium?

THE LAYOUT COULD BE A LITTLE BIT BETTER! I FEEL LIKE AT TIMES IT COULD LOOK OVERWHELMING WITH ALL THE CHATS ON THE SIDE. BUT TO BE HONEST THERES NOT MUCH TO DISLIKE!!! OVER ALL THIS IS AN AWESOME WEBSITE!!!

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

WHEN CUSTOMERS DON'T ANSWER OUR PHONE CALLS WE CAN REACH OUT TO THEM THRU TEXT FOR A QUICK RESPONSE! PEOPLE PREFER TEXT THESE DAYS SO BEING ABLE TO TEXT THEM IS SUCH A PLUS!!!!

"Have had a great experience with Podium so far."
What do you like best about Podium?

The ability to text and email requests for reviews for our business. Also-the direct link to the platforms for the reviews has been helpful all in one stop. Primarily the text feature is the best since it's easier for the end-user and easy for us to send requests for reviews to our current/past customers.

What do you dislike about Podium?

Reminders to follow-up on a previous unanswered request that had already been sent out. Adding that ability would be friendly and helpful.

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

No problems with Podium. Benefit is how easy it is for us and the end-user, our past or current customers.
