What do you like best about Talkable?

Talkable was a very capable referral program. It did the thing we asked, but the tools were basic and felt like the price was a bit steep for its functionality. It was easy enough to install, but took considerable thought in how we wanted it to show. Would have been nice to have an easier implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Talkable?

Talkable is expensive and unless you're willing to get all the tools and use out of the program there might be a cheaper solution that can do the same thing. We seem to have conflicts of talkable and other banner programs we use on our website and aesethically it could look messy with too many pop ups. Talkable has other ways to show their offer, but was more limited that i would like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We were looking for a referral program that would help us with lead gen. Talkable did this task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Talkable?

1. Customer Support - We've been dealing with Talkable for over 2 years now and they've been fantastic with their customer support. They've been extremely responsive with our business, friendly, easy to deal with and very patient with a lot of our requests. This goes a long way when dealing with a platform that's not your standard plug and play. Great service which has helped us so much throughout our partnership with Talkable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Talkable?

1. It's not your standard plug and play solution. There aren't a lot of out of the box features. A lot of the features require back end implementation from our internal dev team. This can be difficult when your Tech team requires information about the new feature or the platform. However, the Talkable team have been great in aiming to help us as much as possible to set up new features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

1. Refer a Friend/Loyalty functionality

2. Tracking loyalty of new users

3. Offering new features for attracting new customers

4. Helping us retain existing customers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Talkable?

Since enabling Talkable Video, we've seen a steady stream of Customer Generated Content (CGC or UGC, however you want to call it) come through. It's very exciting to see customers engaging in this new way, and I see great use cases for Talkable Video, especially for Gen-Z focused brands.

Talkable is at the forefront of new referral technologies, and I absolutely love how they have evolved referral to allow advocates to record ands share videos in through the referral flow.

There is something special about video. It sparks an emotional response, and makes the referral feel authentic and genuine. A video is worth a thousand words (or more)!

In addition, as a marketer, seeing how your customers speak about your product, and seeing the demographics of those customers, provides insights that are more difficult to pull than standard survey data. Visuals matter.

We're still in the early stages of testing Talkable Video, but we're extremely excited about this next chapter of Video Referrals, and we're looking for new ways to take advantage of it (e.g. discovery of customers who would make great brand ambassadors) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Talkable?

The dashboard can be a bit confusing, but we rely on our CSMs to provide the white glove service and reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

- Talkable helps us acquire more new net customers at the lowest CAC. As a result, it is driving incremental revenue for us.

- They are also helping us identify buyer personas with Talkable Video.

- Their product supports integrations with most platforms (e-commerce, esp/sms, etc) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
