COMPANY: myphoner
PRODUCT/SERVICE DESCRIPTION: myphoner is tailored to freelancers and small teams doing B2B cold calling.
Many small sales teams use either Excel spreadsheets or some big CRM system like Salesforce to manage their leads when cold calling. These both have their pros and cons. Spreadsheets are cheap, but they are also inefficient, error prone, and they can’t be split dynamically between your team members; while CRM systems often suffer from an overkill of features, are too expensive, and require too much training when the task at hand is ‘just’ cold calling.
myphoner sits in between these, and provides a superior workflow more suited to cold calling, while leaving more advanced functionality to your existing systems through its ability to integrate with over 300 apps, including most CRM providers.
myphoner focuses on solving one problem only. That enables us to maintain an effortless and short learning curve to new users, while enabling experienced users to configure and tweak the experience to suit their needs. It also enables our customers to get the job done without hassle and at the right cost.
