What do you like best about Zendesk Sell?

Base spends a lot of money on their Sales process. You will feel very welcome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zendesk Sell?

The demo vs. the paid product is VERY different. You will learn that (all) reporting is extra $$, all goal setting is extra $$, and most CRM functions are extra $$. However, all of those functions are shown in the demo! Sam Easton was my rep, Andy Jones was the Director of Sales at Base - when I reached out to both of them I was told to "check the fine print". Super disappointing - I should have read more online reviews before proceeding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zendesk Sell:

Do your homework. Lots of great solutions out there, or, you have deep pockets and this one might work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zendesk Sell solving and how is that benefiting you?

None. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zendesk Sell?

Their customer service is very responsive and helpful. While they cannot always resolve a problem immediately, they get back to you within a day (and typically within hours) and try to be as helpful as possible. Compared to several other CRMs I've used, Base certainly seems to care a bit more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zendesk Sell?

Like all CRMs, there is no single one that comes without it's drawbacks. The biggest thing I dislike about Base is the lack of integration across their systems. For example, they have exceptional tracking capabilities with outbound emails but there is no easy way to then funnel those (in bulk) into a follow-up email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zendesk Sell:

Determine which features are of vital importance to you and your organization to see if Base fits those needs currently. If they say it's 'in development' proceed with caution as it will likely take much longer than anticipated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zendesk Sell solving and how is that benefiting you?

Base allows me to keep track of who I reached out to and when. It also provides the functionality to set reminders and check in with my team and/or collaborate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zendesk Sell?

Call tracking, can record calls and listen to from Base, mobile app Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zendesk Sell?

Would like to be able to make my own goals to track (Calls, Sales). Also, have different sales teams, would be nice to customize their goals to each one. Would like to see all of their goals on one screen if possible even though different sales teams. Also, have sales people calling different types of leads, clients, sales, need a way to differentiate the calls so when it comes to reporting I can tell which type of calls my sales team is making, There might be a way to already do this, still learning the system, so if there is I apologize. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zendesk Sell:

Support team is very easy to work with, usually quick to respond and help out whenever you need it. Only thing is customizing goals, I came in as VP of sales after it was already implemented, previous goals and forecasting isn't relevant with goals I am trying to establish, so trying to figure out a way to have better tracking for my team when it comes to goals assigned. Also, lead multiple sales teams, selling multiple and different products so need to be able to establish goals based on different teams, but still be able to see all reports if possible on one screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zendesk Sell solving and how is that benefiting you?

Call logs and times. Saw too much time on service calls compared to sales calls from sales team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zendesk Sell?

The customer service is great. The Base team cares about our feedback and is always trying to improve the product. The user experience is constantly trying to be improved. I also appreciate the fact that the CRM remembers the features and settings you had used last time you opened a page. This allows me to save time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zendesk Sell?

The product does not offer enough integrations with other platforms and makes it quite complicated to export valuable information in a user-friendly format. It also seems complicated to adapt the product to our company's reality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zendesk Sell:

I recommend you take the time to think ahead of all your needs and spend enough time benchmarking different CRMs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zendesk Sell solving and how is that benefiting you?

Base allows to track all our communications with our customers, identify our deals and keep an eye on our pipeline. It also allows us to keep track of customer feedback and personal notes leading to having better relations with our clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zendesk Sell?

Base allows you to facilitate a wide array of outreach, ranging from conducting and tracking calls, texts, and emails to customers. Love the fact ease of having all of the customers contact information in one place. Very simple to conduct out reach. Upon conducting outreach the resulting pipeline is very straight forward and organized. May be useful to have more ways to tag and qualify customers, but at present satisfied with the capabilities of Base. Also, our support at Base is awesome! Very responsive and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zendesk Sell?

Sometimes data isn't pulled appropriately/data is recorded in very strange ways. Frustrating when something worked one day but then another day everything goes completely wrong. After using the CRM for about a year I still do not understand why this happens. Finally, sometimes there is alot of confusion when multiple tabs on Base are opened - in particular when you are on a call and then another call comes in, Base really doesn't allow the user to solve the problem (i.e. constant ringing). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zendesk Sell solving and how is that benefiting you?

Efficiency and ability to accurately track data. Really nice to have all the information complied in on place. Finally, as I previously stated, cannot imagine how I would move forward with pipeline management without the structure of Base. Really does allow for effective and efficient management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zendesk Sell?

I really like how easy it is to use! Very simple, user friendly, and easy to navigate. It was very easy to export lists into excel sheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zendesk Sell?

I feel as if there is a better way to organize everything, maybe have more folders, drop-downs, or subcategories. I would like it if the dashboard was more confined and showed a better snapshot of your case load. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zendesk Sell:

It depends what you want out of Base. My company switched from Base to Salesforce because we wanted to move up a level in terms of a CRM platform. We wanted more capability and automation features that Base couldn't provide us. Ultimately, we wanted a completely customized platform for our franchisees to use, which is why we decided to move away from Base. However, I did really enjoy using Base, it was simple and had all of the necessary tools and components for a good CRM platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zendesk Sell solving and how is that benefiting you?

It serves as a centralized location to manage all of your customers, clients, and/or sales. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Zendesk Sell?

The platform itself is very easy to use and most functions are intuitive. It did a good job of synching with Salesforce, which we used in tandem. Everything is very organized and visually appealing. One of my favorite features was the data/call analysis, which provided me with valuable insight into my own sales process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zendesk Sell?

I felt the trade-off for Base was organization in place of a high volume of data. This platform was easier to use compared to Salesforce, but I would often find myself switching back to SF from time to time to get more relevant info. There were a couple different bugs, and we had a few instances of missing/incorrect data (specifically for a category called "deassignment warning" in our Base). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zendesk Sell solving and how is that benefiting you?

Simplification of the sales process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zendesk Sell?

Base was one of the easiest to use CRM's that I have ever had to implement or use. The UI was intuitive and our whole sales team had the same response.

We had a level of service enabled us to have access to assigned Customer Success Manager from BASE. She was tremendously helpful in both strategic questions and work arounds (as no product does everything) on several occasions. It was hugely helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zendesk Sell?

Up until their "smartlist" feature release reporting was a challenge. However once they released that it made things really more efficient and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zendesk Sell solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a easy to use CRM for our small venture funded company. We wanted a lower price and just as powerful CRM to salesforce. We did not want an overly complex product that would take a lot of customization or time to get to know. We need something fast and really effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zendesk Sell?

Base is super easy to use, modern and intuitive. It has all the features you need in a CRM. The app is super slick as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zendesk Sell?

While hierarchies are now available, I wish we could do more visual organizational chart mapping. We have a small number of companies that are customers, but work with a larger number of people within these companies. We also have large, recurring sales as opposed to one initial sale so the forecasting isn't quite what we are needing. As our company evolves, I hope Base does as well to support customers who are primarily in Enterprise sales! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zendesk Sell:

If you have complex sales and enterprise customers just make sure the functionality is here that you want. If your sales cycle is pretty straight forward this is a great product! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zendesk Sell solving and how is that benefiting you?

Organization of customer information and forecasting at a high level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zendesk Sell?

Base is extremely user friendly and allows me to easily schedule appointments while juggling many other tasks. It definitely makes my day more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zendesk Sell?

Very limited in its automated functions. I cannot set it to automatically force me to follow up with a customer, for example. I cannot save email invitation templates to base. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zendesk Sell:

If you’re onboarding a large team of new salespeople, base is super easy to learn and a great place to start Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zendesk Sell solving and how is that benefiting you?

Solving scheduling problems, have realized the benefit of being able to do multiple things at once (send an invite, book an appt, send a text, search various notes, etc). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
