The look and layout of the CRM is easy to use, the functions are great. All in all a great CRM package Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

The only thing is the switching between multiple windows being open, if there was a keyboard shortcut to help this then that would be great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

Workbooks has been the perfect tool for organising our client and customer information. Now that we have all of our information in one, easily accessible database, we are assured that everyone within the business is viewing the most current and updated version. Not only this, but as we have been recently wanting to increase our number of clients, it has proved perfect for organising mailshot campaigns. This can also work alongside Mailchimp, a third party company that specialises in mailshot building and post mail reports. We've been able to connect more with the people who love to see what we're are doing in the company, and therefore building those all important relationships. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

I found the learning curve a little steep, and occasionally thought that certain options and configurations were not made clear. Though as soon as you dedicate enough time learning the software it's a breeze to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workbooks:

I would highly recommend Workbooks.com to any business. If you are a new company, or a large longstanding company I would still suggest using Workbooks to see how it can integrate so seamlessly into your business, or the business you work in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Primarily in my company we use Workbooks to organise our customer and client base. It has allowed us to easily view them all in one single place, and others can edit and amend data, without the worry of someone having an older or incorrect version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Workbooks?

I like the way it looks, quite a pleasant interface when you first open it.

It is relatively easy to use. When entering client/contact details it is highlighted which areas you need to fill in to complete your entry.

The campaign tool is very useful for marketing external and even internal events. We are able to ensure that our marketing campaigns reach out to all our clients, prospects and contacts. I am also able to use this for internal events which saves having to set up a new email group every time I need to send an update on an event. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

It doesn't search by word parts. I have to type in exactly what I want, so I am unsure on the full name of a campaign it is difficult to find. I have not been using this long though so its possible that there is a better way to search and I am not yet aware of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workbooks:

If you need a product that can keep all your client information/meetings and campaign information in one place then this is the product for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our business often has clients that use a range of our services. It is therefore useful to have a communication tool such as this to easily find out when people are going out to meetings with clients/contacts and to ensure there is no overlap or duplication.

This is also great for setting up events internal and external, once set up with all the people going it can also be used for future events so there is an easily accessible record of who attends what events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

After reviewing a number of CRM systems we chose workbooks due to the ease of implementation to our business. Being cloud based we didn't need any additional servers or software on our machines. The customisation was a breeze and allowed us to turn on and off as many features as we needed for our business and was essentially up and running in a matter of hours. Being cloud based we can access it anywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

The mobile version is a little limiting and maybe a dedicated app would work better. There are also only a select few emarketing systems which worksbooks integrates with but maybe this will increase in the future. Templates can also be an issue as if you have a number set up any changes have to be replicated in all of them but is easy once you have edited a few. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workbooks:

Try a demo and also use an expert for implementation and customisation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Improving communications between opportunities and sales and ensuring all enquires are fully followed up. Also assisted us with customer retention activities Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

Workbooks has really integrated well into our business and has allowed us to easily and quickly capture our notes and actions when support our customers.

We utilise the CASE and CONTRACT Management components of Workbooks but the best component for me is the Outlook Connector. This simplifies the way I can save all email correspondance that comes into the business into one central database, for all of my staff to view and respond to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

It would be great to see some further development into the Smart Phone or Tablet app for Workbooks, as this would help us gain access to more information when we are out and about. There are some good features on the browser that could work well for us if they came across into the Smart APP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workbooks:

If you are struggling with Email management - Workbooks is ideal

If you to capture your sales cycle and easily save your notes and emails to prospect clients, Workbooks will work for you.

Simple, Easy and Effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Capturing data into one location by making full use of the Outlook Connector. Customer corresondance in email files is a nightmare to manage and does not easily allow you to pass cases between users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

The ease of functionality and organisation I can have on the product. I also like the lists I can watch and filters to segment data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

Once I have completed an order form, I cannot go back and edit anything I have to do a whole new form. This means I can waste time and it becomes difficult to see which orders are live and which are cancelled Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workbooks:

It is a user friendly system to use and can be easily picked up by novices and can also be adapted to your own specific needs within the business Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have saved a lot of time using workbooks as it is easy for me to book meetings by segmenting data. It also keeps me organised and I don't forget anything important! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

The layout, structure and the fact it can be edited to our requirements.. It is very user friendly, and this makes it a joy to use! Oh and it helps that you have a kind of Windows vibe with the desktop they provide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

We have come across a few bugs, which have been noted and reported. But that would be the most hated things about Workbooks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workbooks:

Steep learning curve, be prepared. Check out ALL aspects of Workbooks to fully understand what it can do, as you might be able to utilise more of the application, rather than just covering the points you need to tick off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Having worked with Salesforce to keep all of our documents in the right place and track contracts, Workbooks has picked up the gauntlet in true British fashion. It works really well, all departments can now communicate together, and this improves visibility to all for any contract currently being worked on. Everything simply works from the reporting tools to the dashboards. This is by far one of the best company decisions we have made. The benefits of being able to use scripts means you can automate certain things, this is currently being worked on, but it's a great feature to have available.
