"Amazing sales tool!"

What differentiates Groove from other similar products?

Reports when an email has been opened, so you don't need to fill up your customer's inbox before getting a response. It notifies how many times an email has been opened, so you can know even before you talk to the client if there is a real interest. The ability to create a template and insert it into an email saves a lot of time instead of having to rewrite the same email for multiple recipients.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

In-depth analysis of open rates. Automated data entry in CRM. Calendar scheduler link. Tracking emails and status reading. Easily accessible email templates. Ability to share and create new flows with other team members.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The dialer sometimes doesn't work properly. Finding the right flow is sometimes difficult when you have many.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Groove is an excellent tool, recommended for all companies where you need to maintain frequent contact with thousands of customers every week. You can easily create interactive emails and text flows to seamlessly engage with these clients while allowing me a behind-the-scenes analysis of which language gets high response rates and email open rates.
