What do you like best about Workbooks?

I like workbooks because it is user-friendly and the customer service is actually really great. I had to call when I was first set up and they were super helpful. All features don't pertain to my business, I'm a real estate agent, but as a CRM it works well for my needs. Great for marketing and sales. (Note my father is the actual user who deals with the "finance" part of it-as he does all of my finances) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

There are lots of extra features and windows that probably could be streamlined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workbooks:

I definitely like the ease of use, and the customer service is very good. Great for marketing, CRM, and finance tracking especially in my case as a self-employed business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

My CRM mostly and for sales tracking and finances. I like the part for marketing and CRM for tracking my sales and for mailchimp and web stuff. My father is the one who deals with Workbooks for all of my finances. He is my "accountant". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

It is a wonderful tool to generate Reports and Dashboards that give you insight into your Case KPIs. Understanding your customer service performance will help you make the right decisions - ultimately increasing customer satisfaction. It gives a more in depth look at your clients so they don't fall through the cracks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

It is an excellent tool for customer success but not robust enough for a full cycle sales team so most businesses you will need to use 2 different systems to get what you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workbooks:

This is a great stand alone tool but it does not solve for all the CRM needs for most sales organizations so we found ourselves having to use this in conjunction of another CRM to provide everything that we needed in our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is allowing us to identify re-occurring problems with customers and churn. Customer services teams often deal with recurring problems or issues: a recurring issue with a particular product, a problematic courier etc. Use that knowledge to deal with the source of the problems and stop the issues recurring, saving your business money and improving overall customer satisfaction.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

Workbooks has a very strong and capable support team which really helps outweigh any of the slightly frustrating areas of the CRM. They are very quick to respond via email and very few problems taking longer than a single phone call to resolve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

It is not immediately intuitive to customize and if you add modules after using it for some time, (like the advanced security) it can be extremely painful.

Some areas of the platform seem overly convoluted and often either need the help of their support team (who are excellent) or sometimes a consultant which comes at extra cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use it for the following

Calendar/Reminder System

Document Storage

Email Marketing

Internal Chat Integration

Lead Scoring

What do you like best about Workbooks?

Integrates well with our back-end systems, works very well for our users and integrates well with other SAAS software, such as Survey Monkey and MailChimp. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

When we first purchased, the UI was awful - but thankfully that has now been rectified to a much slicker and modern looking interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workbooks:

Do your homework and check it's the right software for you Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

A very outdated (20th Century) contacts database, that needed to integrate with other systems we have in our business. Also, to provide more intelligence around what contacts bring us the most business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

workbooks is a great tool helping in management and all different types from learning. The skillsets vary amongst the workbooks, and its great to compare; i was using them a lot a few years ago. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

its sort of tricky to purchase and not spend the money doing so; some of them can be pricey, others inexpensive which is great but also tough if you need a bunch for set marketing tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

they are easy to navigate once revieving and its great to be able to see the benefits right after completing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

I like the level of bespoke care given to our business. We have taken advantage of the CS+ package where Workbooks allocate additional hours for support and development but even their standard level of care is excellent. Their onsite technical support has also been of exceptional quality in my experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

There is very little to dislike - any tech issues/improvements customers have can be voted up on their forum and will be addressed by their tech teams. It would perhaps be beneficial for the sales team to have a higher degree of tech literacy so that many different types of enquiry can be handled with a single call but this is a minor gripe considering just how good the technical team is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are streamlining our fee renewal processes, our ability to report and are branching out into marketing campaigns. Workbooks is excellent for integration with mail clients and surveys allowing for a granular level of detail recorded in real time on customer records. We are also hoping to roll out their customer service system of ticketing and priority categorisation very soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

I like that the system follows a logical and common sense approach to creating a user friendly system that enables clients to develop the CRM into a platform that works for them. Their knowledge base is a excellent resource that empowers users to learn and develop the system in a way that works for them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

The dashboard functionality has felt a bit one dimensional though I know this is an area on Workbooks roadmap for future development so am confident of great things to come in this area Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are able to overview our membership population whilst recording interaction with our client base from service support, marketing, training and event attendance as well as managing business relationships and opportunities to grow these relationships further Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
