Velocify's LeadManager and Dial-IQ are in a Class of their Own
Pros
Velocify demonstrates a deep and unique understanding of the fundamentals of lead conversion and the science which goes into it. The research, studies, surveys, and whitepapers behind their solution are extremely valuable resources that helped us implement and improve our best sales practices for optimal results. Specifically, LeadManager paired with Dial-IQ have helped us dial a new lead within seconds, positioning us to be among the first to contact a prospect, and as a result, we have achieved a 90% contact rate we were never able to achieve in the past. The custom and infinite automated lead distribution programs and methods allow us to create a unique and custom sales cycle for each marketing campaign with a combination of automated calls, emails, and SMS text to optimize conversions. This ensures that no leads fall through the cracks and continues to nurture our database. Velocify's performance-based lead distribution and lead prioritization have helped us leverage our best performers, pairing each lead with the most suited sales rep as well as prioritizing our leads to make the most out of both our leads' and salesforce's time and resources. Call scripts, automated emails, and SMS ensure that all sales reps presentations are consistent with our brand. The infinite reporting abilities make our data 100% transparent, allowing us to measure metrics and analyze data in ways we never knew possible. Results, along with Velocify's lead scoring feature, are instrumental in measuring and fine-tuning our contact and distribution strategies, as well as modifying and adjusting our marketing and buying strategy, saving us very valuable marketing dollars. The list goes on and on.
Cons
If I had to write something in this box, I would say that I can see how some users who are new to Velocify (or who are generally new to sales automation) may feel that certain functionality, such as reporting, distribution, or email capabilities may seem limited or difficult. It is absolutely the opposite, and I feel that Velocify should better educate its clients on how to truly uncover its full potential so that they can unleash its true power. Each of our businesses has unique needs, and the uniqueness of Velocify lies in its infinite customization abilities, which makes it fit each of our needs. Velocify comes built with the most basic, fundamental sales practices and reporting for the beginner. However, as your needs change and experience level expands, Velocify becomes the sales executive's and administrator's playground, a place where you can let your imagination run wild while knowing that automating almost everything is possible and easy. The reporting functionality and transparency's ability to inspect, modify, and fine-tune is second to none.
Easy to pull leads
Pros
Velocity is very easy to use and is a great software for pulling leads. Customer service is also really helpful and they are willing to fly out to your office for additional training with an additional cost. There are few bugs too with the software.
I enjoy using Velocify and have commended many changes they have made over the years. They seem to be always striving to improve and I value that.
See Cons for comments. Thanks for listening.
Pros
Reliable. Quick. The interface is easy to operate and navigate. There are many great features that make lead management a breeze.
Cons
I would like some improvements personally. Where I would like to see changes is on the dashboard. When I go to the Dashboard it auto sends you to todays day, which is good, but if I go to any other day, say to manage the leads and or push them to another date, when I go back after having changed the calendar date it doesnt leave me on that day to continue my changes... instead it takes me to that days date. Another thing I would like to see you add would be the ability to take one day or even better multiple days and have the ability to move all of the calendar events on that day to another day. The key to our business is time. With all the apps that we do and the little time we have to organize the leads those little things would be tremendously helpful. Again, the ability to take old dates and roll all of those callbacks to a date of choosing would be awesome and even better if we could select several days.

The calling feature delivers larger capacity of customers to speak with.
I like the system overall and have a lot of success.
Pros
The ease of the website, lots of options for follow up borrowers. I can mark an option that will bring back a particular borrower in a specified list. The calling feature is great when it works. The information and automated text and email is great for initial contact.
Cons
Sometimes the calling feature doesn't advance to the next borrower, I have to go in and do it manually. Incoming calls are always gone when I recieve the notice .
Gets the job done with ease, most of the time.
Pros
The format and layout of Velocify makes it easy to navigate between the screens and locate the leads needed to dial. Being able to call the leads within the specific account allows for information to be documented quickly and accurately. I had little training at the start of my position with using Velocify but was able to quickly pick it up. The reports that can be generated through its use can assist the user with productivity and overall task completion.
Cons
At peak times, the system will log me out, and I will have to log back in and re-access the lead I was working. This does slow down the pace of completing work. The system will also state that dials are being made when they are not. There are times that this happens frequently in a day. In addition, when reviewing a list of leads, once the lead is accessed and you wish to return back to the list of leads, you have to start from the beginning; it does not pick up where you left off, which can be time consuming when you have several pages.
Excellent Product
When I came to work at the this firm, which uses Velocify, I was told by multiple people that I would be impressed with the software and should look forward to it. I have been impressed with the accuracy of their statements.
Pros
I have only ever had a positive experience with Velocify. It is simple to use and simple to understand.
Cons
The only complaint I have is when updates are made to the UI and there is no notice, so I click on buttons that did not previously exist. It isn't a problem, just slightly annoying.
Great Overall Experience
Would Highly recommended
Pros
How easy it is to use not difficult at all and how everything you need can be found in one place
Cons
I still have not found something I dislike it has been exactly what I expected to do just get me what I need without any issues
Very good
Everything
Pros
Ease of access and very reliable. Helps keep me really efficient while at work and helps remind me of what i need to do
Cons
Nothing at all I think that this program I've very easy to use and would highly recommend it to everyone
Great product
Pros
How simple it is to use once you get the hang of it, I love how you can filter everything you want to use.
Cons
customer service is a little slow, but once you get them to help you it was easy and the customer service is great.
Lots of functionality, but little difficult to navigate.
Tracks leads through our process every well. Can get almost all information on a lead I need quickly with a few shortcut buttons.
Pros
Velocify has a lot of functions and a lot of quick button views. I can find all the information I need on leads with just a few clicks on a couple of shortcut buttons.
Cons
Difficult to navigate at first. Once I figured out the shortcuts, it was easier. Still, there are some functions I don't use on a regular basis and it becomes a chore again to figure things out. Also could use some better duplicate lead logic, but that might be how it is set up in my company.
Velocify is a very strong and solid tool for production
Thanks for the great program, it's definitely living up to its reputation
Pros
This program is very user friendly and it keeps me very organized when it comes to my leads. I have used other programs at other companies and this one is definitely the best.
Cons
There aren't very many cons about the program. I have had some issues when transferring lead info over but those times were very rare.
Expensive and difficult to handle data
Pros
Nurture program and the ability to text from the platform is great. The ability to have it continually contact candidates automatically is invaluable.
Cons
Expensive, hard to handle large amounts of data, expensive to nurture large campaigns from inside the software. Would need to look outside for that ability.
Velocity
Velocify is an extremely powerful tool for lead management, it's large collection of options for users makes it a hard system to adopt, but great once comfortable with. It's developer tools are there, but aren't very friendly. Maybe make authentication a bit easier.
Pros
It's powerful, thorough, and scalable
Cons
Difficult to initially learn, weak developer tools
Customizable but Complicated
This may be good for a smaller company, but can be a real headache with a growing company/organization. It could really use some updated functionality features.
Pros
I like that I can build out the forms myself and format everything we see on our screen for each lead. Building and customizing reports is also a great feature.
Cons
When moving data fields around, you have to click Up or Down for each single field you want adjusted. A drag-and-drop feature would be great here when things need to be moved more than one or two spaces. We also have significant issues when doing API imports, as leads are not always automatically updated and have to then be manually adjusted.
Efficient
nothing additional at this time although if I think of something in the future I will let you know
Pros
The tracking ability and lead management is second to none I have used other systems and overall this seems to be the best
Cons
I called for customer support about a month ago and still have not received a return call, really? What more could I say about this?
Great tool to help stay in control of your customer base
One of the best systems I've used to contact customers
Pros
Reminders are great and easy to use helping to keep you on track for following up with customers. Dialer is easy to use
Cons
nothing that I can think of that is terribly wrong, I think that just like anything there could always be a tweak or adjustment to improve but overall is good
Great system!
Pros
You're able to create many categories to keep organized. I work in sales, it's the best system I used thus far.
Cons
Our leads disposition a little to quickly. Other than that, I have no other complaints to list. I really like the system.
Very Efficient!
Pros
It's set up to send out leads, so I don't have to. And I love that their help desk is so very helpful! They always answer and know what they're talking about! They have awesome customer service.
Cons
The lead distribution has a lot of different components to it, so it takes a minute to really understand it. And it would be nice to be able to turn some of the emails from the drip campaigns on and off according to what the LO is looking to do. Because some of my LOs like the drip emails, while others want to send their own.
Priority Tax Group
Pros
The product seems to be user-friendly, and the vendor's pricing is very competitive. The vendor is also extremely responsive in making sure that we get the best service for our company's needs. The integration with other products seemed pretty easy. The leads seemed to be in the same place, and that helps with tracking calls and potential clients.
Cons
It could be easier to view more detail for a snapshot for each lead instead of pressing so many buttons.
Excellent product based on highly quantifiable best practices
Pros
Velocify is a data-driven company, and the basis of their software comes from years of experience analyzing what inside sales practices result in higher conversions. They are not guessing, but rather letting the data drive the features of their product. Because of this, unlike many other software platforms, users get huge value out of the box.
Cons
There wasn't a Salesforce app for a while, but they have solved this now.
my experience with velocify
They would have more scope if they include the Spanish language
Pros
It is one of the best CRM applications I have seen, the interface is very friendly, the colors are very appropriate, in terms of the fluency to perform tasks and reports I think it is very well balanced. I thought it was excellent, the automatic voice mail function
Cons
I found the cost a little high, the mobile application still has errors with mid-range smartphones, it is only available in English.
Velocify makes me MONEY!
So far so good and my production in the last 5 months proves Velocify works!
Pros
It keeps my lead generation system organized so I don't need an Excel spreadsheet and database which makes my work easier to manage.
Cons
In using Shotgun connect, it would be nice to be able to close out the prior screen prior to taking the new lead call.
Velocify is the key driver to my success!
Pros
Velocify's software has ultimately increased our bottom line. They allowed us to quickly follow-up with prospects and has helped us close more deals.
Cons
I wouldn't say it's something that I like least, but I would definitely say that you need to spend a little extra time learning it's capabilities if you're looking to maximize what Velocify can do.
A Great Program with Great Customer Service!
Pros
They have a well-documented setup process; it's powerful software that is customizable as well. They have great customer service. If you need help, just send an email to [email protected], and they will help you very quickly.
Cons
Some fields are not able to be changed (data input), so if you want to enter DNC (for do not call) in the phone block, you are not able to. The programming will not allow that.
Velocify benefits
Pretty good overall
Pros
It is easy to use and pretty self explanatory. Its not hard to go through the columns and pick and choose what it is that you need to do
Cons
Sometimes, the shotgun calls interfere with being able to action anything else. I don't find using priority view as very helpful
