- fh973 8y agoPipedrive. Surely not applicable to every type of sales process but clean and intuitive UI.
- dstick 8y agoI’d like to suggest “Hacking Sales” for a fantastic up-to-date list of modern sales tools. The book is all about the “Sales Stack” ;-) Short but sweet!
- yread 8y agoI've used https://leadiro.com/ https://leadiro.com/ recently. You can search for people based on their job description. It worked OK - I'm trying to sell to a niche of professionals and it found about 5% of how many I would expect given my query but it's better than nothing
- r_singh 8y agohttps://close.io/ https://close.io/ (YC W11) Close is much simpler and BS free than Salesforce. Most sales teams I know dislike using salesforce as it is almost always configured to be more complicated than necessary.
- gk1 8y agoIf you’re hoping to become a >100-person company I would recommend against Close.io. The reality is that Salesforce is what is what everyone is familiar with, and sooner or later you’ll be glad it’s as extensible as it is. I’ve worked with two startups that started with Close.io and pretty much outgrew it by the time they had 3 salespeople. It’s made for very small and simple sales operations. I ended up migrating them to Salesforce. The migration is a mess because of Close.io’s unconventional way of handling account and lead records, which is unlike any other CMS.
