Best CRM + Outbound Sales Tool Combination

by a searcher from Harvard University - Harvard Business School

I have seen a bunch of posts on CRMs, but wondering if folks could give feedback on paid plans that include automated email campaigns. I would also love multichannel capabilities (e.g., automated LinkedIn outreach and automatic queues for outbound calling). 

My ideal would be Sales Hub Professional from Hubspot, but it is expensive and I am currently self-funding so don't quality for the 90% discount. 

I've looked into reply.io but heard from one searcher that it was buggy (was over 12 months ago and I'd be curious if other have had better experiences). 

Would appreciate feedback from anyone who uses Pipedrive's premium account on what their capabilities are and what the experience is like, as well as anyone who has used outbound.io. 

Are there any other tools I should be considering?

I've used Hubspot, Salesforce, and now GoHighLevel. GHL is probably the easiest to manage, although unless you work with an integration specialist it will take some time to get things set up the way you want (shameless plug - I build automation solutions for searchers and SMBs - marketing, lead gen, accounting, project management, etc.)

I canceled my Hubspot recently - though I have friends that like/use it. Pipedrive is super easy/ simple but limited. I'm switching with GHL - GoHighLevel for it's robust outbound marketing capabilities (w CRM).
