My best social selling collaborator
Date: Sep 07 2022SummaryI set up two accounts, initially just my main one for a few months and recently a second one that I can manage alone or concurrently in the internal CRM.
Right now I am only using the system to a small part of its potential mainly for new connections because I have been on lk for a short time, and I can't keep up with the new features but I plan to use a good half of it, especially the CRM with which I will manage separately from the corporate CRM where I have active customers. Support is fast and helpful, they also provided me with business/sales advice for specific use in my industry, and I must say they know what they are talking about.PositiveIt has many functions, some recently implemented, others adapted in a very short time to the recent changes in Linkedin, however, the interface is immediately user-friendly, you will not need to schedule a slot of a few hours to learn how to use it: you are up and running in five minutes.
The company, the community behind it, and the roadmap are always on point. I also know the company for lat their saas software, plus I have found Closely to be more immediately usable than other software for the exact same use.
We entrepreneurs don't have time, so it is important to be up and running right away.
You can also download emails and phone contacts of contacts you would like to get in touch with, in some cases sourcing them outside of Linkedin but fully compliant with international privacy regulations.NegativeSome competitor features are still in the roadmap, but working by priority, those most voted by users will be available. Fortunately, they recently added an internal CRM to easily manage contacts, and they have a smart system with tags as well.

App gets better by the month
Date: Sep 06 2022SummaryOverall I'm happy to keep using this app. Haven't faced any real issues yet, and development is fast. so happy customer.
PositiveClosely is very easy to use, and all details are pretty straight forward. What I'm looking for is an easier way to set steps (follow request, message, endorsement, like last post, comment last post, etc.). but with the speed it gets developed I'm sure we'll be fine.
NegativeSometimes the backend is still buggy. Note that this is a startup and they got a ton of clients lately. But they get there. Support is usually fast and ok.

Must have for Marketers
Date: Sep 06 2022SummaryMainly, we have been using closely for guest blog outreaching and my marketing team is using for cold emailing. Closely is great addition to our tool list.
PositiveFinding leads become breeze.
Ability to search using multiple filters meaning if you don't know the exact name of the lead, you can search concerned person using their company search. I personally like to see all my LinkedIn contacts in "My Network".NegativeI haven't seen any challenge using this product however If I have to give one cons, I would say it should reveal my network LinkedIn contacts' email right in the Closely. IMO this is free in the LinkedIn.

Good for LinkedIn automation
Date: Sep 07 2022SummaryI got the lifetime deal and I'm happy with it. Usually I would just buy a deal and never use the product but Closely actually delivered on the promises.
PositiveClosely makes LinkedIn automation simple. I can easily schedule campaigns to connect with people and it works flawlessly.
NegativeThey are adding some features that are not really necessary in my opinion (eg. the lead database) but it doesn't affect my experience of the other features so that's fine.

A perfect cloud based LinkedIn automation.
Date: Sep 26 2022SummaryYou want to create a LinkedIn profile to reach more targeted prospects.
There are many LinkedIn growth hacking tools, but they all do it in different ways. I've tried a few, and I think Closely is the best way to grow LinkedIn.
There are other great features like automatically messaging a contact and managing all his LinkedIn connections from the Closely app. For those who want to reach more people online but don't have the time, Closely is the fastest and fully automated way to do it.PositiveIf you're always busy and don't have time to log into your LinkedIn automation tool every day, you'll love Closely because it's cloud-based. I once had this problem. It takes hours to go to LinkedIn and find the right contacts. But with Closely, you can set up campaigns and give them some direction on who to follow and what to say. Then Closely takes care of everything!
NegativeNothing bad but they will be fast to enrich more features.

Nice tool for LinkedIn outreach
Date: Sep 06 2022SummaryGreat product that helped me growing my LinkedIn account 43% in less than a month. The UI is great and you can manage multiple accounts from one place. They will provide team access in the future, too. If the team delivers on the roadmap it will be among the best LinkedIn tools.
PositiveIt's a pleasure to use the UI and they make it simple while packing impressive features such as messaging contacts from LinkedIn groups, tagging messages in conversations with you or others who are also talking about what’s happening right now - having one unified inbox for all replies gives more control than ever before!
NegativeThey need to work on email campaigns. Many options are missing at this point.

Great tool with some missing features
Date: Sep 08 2022SummaryI will keep the tool because I see a lot of potential. I just hope they will add features quickly.
PositiveOne of the best UIs of any LinkedIn tools I have seen so far. Very easy to use, no need to read through articles or watch videos. Everything is straightforward.
NegativeThere are some missing features that I personally need that are missing.
Read More...
1. Sending messages to non-connected group members without connecting
2. Combining group and Sales Navigator searched. Right now, you can just select a group and the tool will randomly try to connect to people from that group. I want to combine it with a Sales Navigator search, so I can choose location and such, so the tool only tries to connect to the right people. -

Great For Marketing
Date: Sep 06 2022SummaryI give it a 5 star review because of all of the functionality Closely has. The customer service is excellent and I believe in their product. (that's why I got 8 accounts running now and am looking to add 3x that amount in the near future:))
PositiveClosely is by far one of the best tools for marketing automation campaigns on LinkedIn. I can see bright days ahead of me now thanks to this new toy!!

Review for Closely
Date: Sep 30 2022SummaryProspecting could take a lot of time, but closely makes it easier and faster to reach qualified leads, and grow my network.
PositiveThe best thing about this tool is the automation on the cloud. I only connected my account, set-up a campaign and I got tons of value.
NegativeThe pricing for monthly plans are fine, but for one as he starts is not the best. So, I hope they will allow offers, and good deals.

Connects all my accounts
Date: Oct 10 2022SummaryIt is great that LinkedIn offers the ability to connect and manage multiple accounts without any limit. This is a great feature that should be available on all tools.
PositiveYou can connect and manage multiple LinkedIn accounts without any limit. That's a great feature and should be a must have for all tools, but its not everywhere like this.
