The integration with other systems, such as eventbrite/mailchimp/survey monkey etc could be improved. Also, the speed of the system, so jumping between different displays could be smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workbooks:

Workbooks is very simple to use. I have used many CRM systems, and all others are very confusing and messy.

Our CRM is crucial to our business model and Workbooks is a simple way to maintain all our contacts. The email storage system is very useful within the contact section, and the reporting function is very helpful too, also the fact that your reports are saved is helpful.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

It is straight forward to use and it is flexible enough to personalise to suit my business requirements. I can plan in advance and know exactly what I need to do each day. My team can up date me so I have all the information required to make a good sales proposal

I can prioritize my business and I can blacklist any clients that I know longer want to work with.

I work with another sales and marketing company ad it allows me to manage their leads with easy which gives me up to date information Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

The only issue I have is when my internet connection is not great. It can then work too slow for my liking.

I would like more of my staff to have access to it. It will take another couple of months to justify the cost of a licence to allow us to buy more for the business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workbooks:

If you want to learn to manage your sales leads and business definitely look at Workbooks! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It solves lack of sales leads and also any duplication. It enables staff on the road to push through leads direct through to me with the App. Clients are communicated with more effectively which gives us a better chance of success with our sales. I have now recruited a Business consultant as a result of using Workbooks and I can performance manage them using all of the reporting tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's nothing to dislike really, as we build the system according to our taste. Integration with more 3rd party apps and software is always a bonus, so more of this would be good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Happily just renewed for another 12months and can still confirm Workbooks has been a dream since the original installation a number of years ago in their infancy; it is intuitive, easy to use and invaluable for the day to day running of my previous business and my current one. The team are professional and helpful and the service has never experienced any issues from a connectivity point of view so I am safe knowing my data is safe and easily accessible anywhere in the world which is helpful when running a small business and you need constant access wherever you are. 10 out of 10 Workbooks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

Ideally an inbuilt program for exporting invoices etc. into accounting systems such as Sage maybe useful, however this is achievable via a 3rd party plugin therefore not a great hindrance! I am lucky enough not to have to do this so my processes are quick and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workbooks:

We previously tried to function using ACT! which was a nightmare. It kept crashing and there was no easy visibility of the workforce as a whole and no way of following opportunities accurately with minimal reporting possibilities. Transferring to Workbooks was relatively simple, the training was thorough and concise and the team worked seamlessly with us to enable our documents and reports to perfect for us. The sales process from lead generation to converting opportunities is second to none and invoice creation is quick and easy. Combined with the fact you can work anywhere with an internet connection makes mobile working effortless which is paramount as a working mother!! My job could not be as easy as it is without this software. I can quickly look up records, history, pricing and calculate profit margins and turnover in a few clicks - fundamental for running a business. All in all I love Workbooks and would strongly recommend it to any organisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Fluidity and time saving are key. I like the fact quotes are linked to orders and in turn PO's and invoices. You can relate multiple organisations together and contacts. This makes searching easier and quicker. I would be lost without Workbooks! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

The layout and structure from the get go is simple and easy to use, very simplistic , very easy. cannot be faulted at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

Interface is quite boring, sometimes there are rare cases of lagging but this is expected in a system, my biggest recommendation would be to simply update the gui , make it more user friendly in the way it looks, i like to look at a piece of software and think that should be easier than it actually is. and this software does highlight this but to only some extent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workbooks:

Simplicity is the key, the key is workbooks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

CRM enables you to focus on your organisation’s relationships with individual people – whether those are customers,service users, colleagues or suppliers. Some of the biggest gains in productivity can come from moving beyond CRM as a sales and marketing tool and embedding it in your business – from HR to customer services and supplychain management. This is why it cannot be faulted, it is complete and utter perfection which cannot be argued with . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

There are some very good features that have taken the best bits of different CRM systems and brought them together. The ability to customise searches and various other aspects to suit the individual user is provides a positive experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

The search abilities are poor when searching for a company for example, if the name is account is 'The XYZ Company' and you were to search 'XYZ' the account will not show. This has left many of us treading on other peoples accounts. I feel the overall asthetic of the user display could be improved with a more intuative design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Allowing group companies to oporate off of the same system and sharing relevent information by sharing accounts and details. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There were challenges in setting up the connectivity with our existing practice management system, CCH Central and a year later we still have these issues. This creates an admin headache. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ensure data is fully cleansed prior to implementation. Persevere in getting the right training support needed for implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

The integration worked into our roll out of Workbooks for Adobe Echo-sign (Document Signee Service)

It allows for documents to be signed at ease by multiple contacts and will store completed under client accounts

The progress can also be monitored throughout directly within WBs, which is very useful for our account managers on this end as they do not necessarily initiate the process, but need to know where we are within the process :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

One key change i'd like is for the email notification messages that arrive to once clicked

Preference would be to taken directly to the existing instance of Workbooks running opposed it opening a new web window and prompting you to close it and referring you to the session

A small change but one that would help loads as assigned allot of tasks :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

This was a replacement for Salesforce within our organization and its proved to be a great decision! It doesn't have the limitations and the merger of the mountain of data was seamless. Overall annual cost is soooo much more cost effective too! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
