WHAT TECH PRODUCTS DO YOU USE IN YOUR SEARCH (I.E. CRM, EMAIL AUTOMATION)?

Specifically, which tech products do you use and for each - what do you like and dislike about them? What do you wish you had to make any part of the search so much easier? Thanks!

salesforce (pricey, worth it if used w/ discipline), mixmax (email automation) or (yesware or mailchimp) - preferred mixmax, capIQ, rainking (expensive but incredible), outsourced offshore scrubbing, scraping, and manual data grab through upwork.

Honestly, use a spreadsheet and then get Reply.io for mass email campaigns. Happy to walk you through this. I spent too much time worried about this and it really doesn't even matter. Happy to chat.

Of course. This is just my experience though - you should talk to a few people :)

Hubspot is a great (and inexpensive) general purpose CRM/marketing automation tool.

We built (tryoncourse.com) to integrate all the tools we would need into one place. One tool - does everything you could possibly need to do in search (Sales automation + CRM + Calling + Drip sequences + SMS+ Tasks + accounting/contact management + drag and drop pipelines ) Its going to be about 1/3rd of the price of you buy all the individual tools in the market and slap them together. We built it FOR search and our own purposes - As of September of last year we put it in the market.
