Hello Sumo-lings and Consolto Enthusiasts! 👋 🎉

As the founder of Consolto, I’m thrilled to announce our return to AppSumo with what we fondly call “Consolto 2.0” 🚀. It’s not just a product; it’s our vision brought to life.

Our journey since our last AppSumo launch has been nothing short of exhilarating. Our mission evolved to be to “help 10,000 businesses scale their remote-meeting operations” (!!!). Since our last launch here, we’ve been building, shaping, listening, architecting, polishing… you get the idea. Every feature, from our revamped back office to advanced scheduling and customizable widgets, was shaped by your feedback (and clearly the team’s drive to excel). We’ve made countless improvements since 2021, but I’d like to highlight the group functionalities, CNAME, blurry background and Stripe integration that ensure your customer meetings are not only professional but also secure and monetizable. 🛠

Consolto 2.0 is more than a product – it’s a testament to our growth and your needs. It’s designed to be simple, yet flexible and advanced. It may not claim to be the singular best in conferencing, live chat, or scheduling. However, it’s the synergy of these services, wrapped in an intuitive package, that delivers exactly what we believe you REALLY need for your remote customer meetings. And there’s lots to come in the coming months… AI, improved CRM capabilities and much more.

Meeting Noah Kagan, the founder of AppSumo, in 2022, was a pivotal moment for both me and our company. His insights and the shared values between our companies reinforced our belief in the power of community and partnership. We both understand the challenges and aspirations of small businesses and are committed to providing tools that level the playing field. 🚀🌐

Our return to AppSumo is a testament to our commitment to innovation and our partnership with NK and the entire AS team.

Join us in this exciting new chapter. Together, we can redefine remote business interactions.

To your success,

Ilan

👋 Hello Sumo-lings,

Ilan here, CEO of Consolto. I used to work in a super sweet&cosy position at a large corporation but my passion was always elsewhere. I saw the struggle of small-businesses with remote sales in today's hyper-competitive environment. I felt the pain of consultants trying to work remotely. It was all too cumbersome and it made it hard for them to compete with the big guys. That's when I decided to launch Consolto.

It was tough at the beginning. 2018 was the year everyone turned left -- to chat-bots and automation -- and I made a bold decision to turn right and build a solution that aims to help businesses go personal again. Because we cherish YOU, the one on the front lines. And our goal is to help your business by augmenting YOUR specialties with remote-super-power capabilities. We're here to simplify, organize and boost your remote sales & consulting.

Fast forward 3 years (yes, I've been working on this dream way before COVID…), here we are with a platform we've built with our own hands. Put all our sweat and attention to it after receiving tons of feedback from customers and partners. We’ve spent countless hours researching the way businesses communicate with their customers, especially when it comes to remote interactions. Our findings show us that businesses that are able to create warm, immersive interactions with their customers have much higher success rates across nearly every single metric.

Here’s some numbers to prove it:

- 79% Stated that implementing video chat resulted in increased customer loyalty, sales and revenue.

- 75% Consumers prefer face to face interactions

- 68% Customers are more likely to buy from a business that offers convenient communication

- Visitors that engage with your company via video chat are worth 4.5 times more than visitors that don’t.

Yet, there's a long way to go and that's why we're thrilled to be selected here on Appsumo. Our tiny team is excited to deliver and eager to hear your feedback (yes, there's still a lot more to develop and we're 200% committed to that!).

Let's enjoy the summer together and remember, our “Widget” is always on for you, so that means we’re only a click away for whatever you need.

To your success,

Ilan

Q - What makes Consolto different from other solutions out there?

A - We've developed a few capabilities focusing on growing YOUR business:

1. Our web-conferencing happens within your website, surrounded by your brand. We ALSO provide a permanent link - your very own ClickNTalk page.

2. No need to purchase an extra scheduling tool like Calendly. 2-way appointment scheduling is part of Consolto.

3. Micro-CRM with all the customer-interactions on the customer feed - chats, video recordings, voice messages, shared-files and images. This helps in being on top of the communication.

4. Multi-agent widget on the website -- enables multiple agents to be accessible and deliver their services from the same website concurrently.

5. Money transfer - let customers pay prior/during calls.

6. Site & interaction analytics. We show what happened and how much.

7. Deep website-integration that helps to trigger the video/chat/scheduling with any element on your website (yea, use your own custom buttons..).

8. Integrations with Zapier, Google calendar, Google analytics, Webhooks, Paypal and more integrations coming soon.

Q - What is the difference between agent / host / team member / user

A - They’re all the same. The host is the person that receives calls/chats from site-visitors. Every host gets isolated access to the backoffice with unique login credentials.

Q - When are group meetings and the mobile-app going to be launched?

A - Our mobile app is in the making. Hopefully it will be ready very very soon. Group meetings will come right after. Vote on our roadmap for your favorite features: https://feedback.consolto.com/b/6m4ygxm4/feature-requests

Q - Can I select which agents will be presented on every domain/page?

A - YES! You can allocate agents per page. Their widget will be shown only on the pages you chose. This could be useful in cases where you have multiple websites as well as when you would like to show the widget in select pages. Look for “Page Matches” on the backoffice to get this done!
