"Great for small teams"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

Nutshell is a very simple and easy-to-use CRM. It allows my team to quickly update Accounts and deals with an easy-to-use interface. The email import works great and overall setup is a breeze.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

There are a few minor things that I would change if I could. Interface for the people listed under the accounts is a little odd if you have more than 5 or so people. There isn't an easy way to update multiple items in sequence, it can be cumbersome to build out the various pipelines, and I would like to be able to add people's details when creating an account.

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

Nutshell keeps my team organized and allows me to see where we sit as a sales team very quickly. My deals are easy to update and easy to sync with calendars to make sure we stay on top of everything.

"Nutshell is an easy to use (critical), high feature/benefit CRM that's constantly being updated."
What do you like best about Nutshell?

Super easy to use. Without this, we'd be SOL, as our staff are not hugely computer literate.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

There's some connectivity benefits that could be added.

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

Keeping everyone on staff knowledgeable of what sales increasing efforts are being done. Keeping each outside salesperson aware of follow-up needed.

"Great experience"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

It is cloud-based, so you can log in from any device to create, edit and update leads in real-time. Because it is cloud-based, you can create, edit, and update leads in real-time from wherever you are.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

In addition, it is not possible to differentiate between the lead value that is transient and recurring.

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

I can make my signups most effective with Nutshell's email outreach. My time is now a much more efficient and simplified process.

"Pocket Friendly CRM for a Startup"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

With Nutshell, you can easily send out CRM email outreach. Running an email outreach campaign for a person is really simple once I've added them. It helps to keep a better track of sales representatives' sales.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

They should definitely add some extra features to the tool which helps. It would be nice if they do add an inbound call feature apart from that the software is good.

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

Helps me to stay focused on the top of my sales pipelines. Easy to manage and prospects and leads. The database created helps us to not contact the same person already contacted.

"Great site and app. We use for all of our sales forecasting and closed sales."

I think how easy the app is to make updates.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

There are some things that are different from the website and app as far as looks. I would try and streamline the look completly between each.

This allows us to have all sales, PM, and design staff to manage all ranges of the sales process from vague leads to sold projects.

"A good experience"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

The general process of the Nutshell CRM are very simple to use and it does a lot of the work for you. The import functions that bring in .csvs are great and then creating leads from there is easy.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

Any sort of fine-tuning of the software requires you to find weird menus in the settings that aren't overly intuitive. Also, it is easy to add via import but batch deleting can be a pain if you find your email lists aren't completely verified before uploading. It requires clicking on each lead and deleting it numerous times before it completely disappears from the online database.

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

Overall it helps with the organization of sales contacts for us. At times it is really nice other times the process of entering in a sale is harder than the sale itself.

"Simple & Agile CRM"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

Nutshell is super customizable which has been a huge benefit for my team! We have a number of unique sales processes as we do not just sell one product. It was quick to get the hang of and the training was easy to follow and all pre recorded!

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

There is very little I dislike. I have sent a recommendation to the Nutshell team to add a feature so I am sure given their culture of asking clients for feedback, the system will just keep getting better.

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

We are using Nutshell to manage our sales and customer success processes. A big benefit is how tailored it is to our business. We can also make changes to the sales & customer success processes on our own and do not have to reach out to anyone.

"Intuitive system with room to grow"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

I love being able to track the interaction with my emails and see customer engagement in real-time. It lets me know who is serious and who is possibly going to waste my time and resources. Actions speak louder than words! Furthermore, I appreciate how we can also communicate with the leads in various stages that are automatic and seeing the reminders on tasks.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

Dislike is a strong word, but all the items I would improve are the following: 1) The app doesn't allow you to communicate with leads. I wish I could send a quick email from this point, but I appreciate seeing the stats and the activities. 2) The app should also not scale on font size settings from the iPhone. It makes the layout all screwy in the lead, people, and business sections. I am nearsighted and have my settings on my phone to larger text font, and I think that messes up the view. 3) As a salesperson, I would like to see a running total on my share of revenues. Right now, I have a custom box that I put in my expected commission, and then I have to export this data to see the total in excel. I think that would motivate salespeople more than seeing the total revenue of the leads in how it relates to the company. And 4) It would be great to move emails synched with the person to specific leads. As a booking agent, I sometimes work on five different shows for one customer. Each booking/lead has particular information. For some reason, either not all the communication on the lead will show up, or it will be just under the person and not the lead it applies. Either make all correspondence show up under every lead tied to the same person or figure out a way for the user to add the convo that applies and remove the ones that don't apply.

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

It allows me to keep everything in one place and remind me where I left off on each deal. We used to use Asana for this part of the sales process, but it wasn't easy to manage multiple projects simultaneously and follow communications easily. As I mentioned in the "what I love" section, knowing who is a time-waster and who is engaged really helps me dedicate more time to the people I will close a deal on versus chasing people who have no interest in buying.

"Nutshell user interaction and sales."
What do you like best about Nutshell?

The sales process that you offer us the nutshell system has been very very complete Because it provides solutions in the sense of offering a specific and detailed sale, its support every time a sale is made is very specific because it maintains the customer happy and concrete sales, so the percentage of sales and traffic has definitely increased is the reason that I like the system, it has provided exponential solutions and its interface is friendly and interactive

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

I do not have any kind of inconvenience or problems regarding the system, it appeared to me very detailed and complete, but I believe that it can improve in certain aspects by accepting the number of clients we can pass the support to an agent of the company in this way we can provide a solution to doubts or problems, of course only if the client demands it, since the nutshell system alone can achieve it.

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

Definitively solved the problems of sales, these have increased exponentially as well as the traffic of the web and networks the coupling with the marketing service can achieve that the nutshell system reaches more users and in turn be much more exponential, your service for us has It has been fundamental and it already belongs to the marketing and sales area helping the work team to expand the company, it is great software.
