I've been looking for a CRM tool that suits my needs. I have a boutique consulting/coaching business, and I'm not playing the big numbers game.
I was looking for a tool that would minimize my work to keep track of what I was talking to my leads. And my primary social media is LinkedIn.
So, after checking many tools, I've decided to take BreakCold for a run. I've been using it for just a few days, but so far, it looks promising.
What I like about it:
- It allows me to import LinkedIn leads quickly into BR with the Chrome extension. You can already choose tags and lists to be added when you import.
- You can create as many lists as you would like and use them to filter your leads on the feed.
- It brings the feed from your leads on LinkedIn (and Twitter, but I don't use it), making it easier to start interacting with them before approaching for a connection.
- When you open a specific contact, you can see your lead's feed (it allows you to see how active they are).

Room for improvement
- Have a time stamp of when a lead was added. You can create a label, but it's not practical.
- See your messages and notifications from LinkedIn on BR. I can send a message, but I still need to enter LinkedIn to see the reply.

I'm looking forward to a few features that are promised for the coming weeks:
- See all activities with your lead inside BR
- Remiders (or to-dos) inside the program, so you can remember when to reach out again or when to send a connection invite.

I got tier 2 but still didn't try the campaigns since I'm working on building my list first.

I'm looking forward to what's to come!
