We used Expandi before and really liked it, but decided to try Skylead for a different venture. We never could get connected, nor was Skylead interested in helping us. We wasted a week. With Expandi, we had connection issues also, but wth their fantastic chat support solved the problem the first day and are now up and productive. Also really love their academy. Top rate.
Wish they connected had an email finder and verification.
Getting leads from LinkedIn.
The ability to intergrate Sales Navigator funnels into connector campaigns is really valuable. It helps us find new customers and build our reach on social media.
Nothing, it all works well. The interface could be more clear but is understandable with practice.
It helps grow reach on social media and create a dialogue with new prospects
Easy way to increase your LinkedIn network. Different options on which way you want to proceed. Good service from the help desk. Constantly working to improve the product.
Sometimes slow at times with generating overall dashboard. Perhaps that is due to Safari. Other than that, no significant dislikes. Mobile version could be a lot better.
Getting in touch with the right people, promoting our service, without too much effort. Improved visability, recognition and useful contacts leading to more assignments. Using LinkedIn to the max!

Safe automation service for LinkedIn to speed up lead generation
It's slow and had many issues when using the tool.
Automation of routine work
Reports, flow builder. Also, I would like to recommend their templates.
Sometimes, I need to wait for a response from the support manager for more than 24 hours.
Cold outreach using Linkedin
One of the things I appreciated the most is the wide range of features and capabilities that Expandi offers. With this software, our team was able to create highly personalized and effective messages incredibly easily, thanks to the highly customizable templates available. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of support provided by the Expandi team. They shared valuable tips and strategies with us on how to achieve the best results in LinkedIn sales. Additionally, the integration with Hyperise allowed us to enrich our communications with personalized images, making our campaigns even more engaging.
Firstly, I noticed a lack of detailed manuals and descriptions for some of the software's functions and features, which can be a bit frustrating for those looking for comprehensive guidance. Moreover, it took me some time to get used to the design and interface of Expandi, which are not particularly intuitive. I would have preferred smoother navigation and a more user-friendly learning curve. Another limitation is the lack of direct integration with HubSpot and the absence of email scraping functionality.
Expandi.io is solving several problems that are benefiting us in our LinkedIn campaigns. Firstly, it automates various time-consuming tasks involved in social selling, such as sending connection requests, personalized messages, and follow-ups. This automation saves us a significant amount of time and effort, allowing us to focus on other important aspects of our business. Secondly, Expandi.io helps us personalize our outreach at scale. With its highly customizable templates and message personalization features, we can tailor our communications to individual prospects, making our approach more relevant and engaging.

Overall, Expandi.io's automation capabilities, personalized outreach, campaign management features, and integration options have solved various challenges we faced in our LinkedIn campaigns.

Great tool - expanded my team network and brand awareness, while getting easily to our target KPIs.
Support was a bit disappointed and slow.
Help us approaching to a lot of contacts and target personas.
I don't think I in the best position to say this but I didn't enjoy anything when I to expandi for a test drive. Others should have better, in depth opinions than I have.
Many things. I had issues adding my payment method. It accepted my card (?) But I couldn't do anything on the platform after setting up my preferences. They need to talk to their customers more
None
If all the features Expandi claims to have were available and worked properly, it truly would be an awesome tool. So I liked most their promises, which sadly were not fulfilled.
The homepage says it's "reliable" but it's not. The campaign just gets stuck and does not work, the support can't help and doesn't even know why the issue appeared. If you pay in full for the subscription and you stop it mid-billing period to avoid automatic payment and continuing the subscription to the next billing period, the tool just hides all your campaigns data and stops them. So essentially you don't get what you paid for, while the billing period you paid for is still in progress. The documentation seems fine at the first glance, but when you start to really use the tool and it's features, you will learn that a lot of details are not described, support does not know the details too, and the worst part- the support will not even try to understand your request and issue, but instead will throw the docs links to you which do not help and sometimes are not even relevant to your request. That's when you are a paid plan user and pay 99$ a month. Many important features do not work properly or do not work at all. Setting the use of variables is a nightmare even if you follow the docs, condition blocks can just make campaign leads stuck and not move further to any branch, in other words your campaign will not be working at all.
Does not solve any problems, only claims it will do. You can try using the tool for email outreach or LinkedIn messaging, but if you actually make a complex campaign that uses many features, chances are high it will not work at all and support will not help you.
I love how I could automate my campaigns, but had trouble setting up the flow so stayed with regular one with one request and similar message.
My Linkedin account was blocked, so that is a big bummer, as I have all my connections there.
It should help people automate the sales process, but it only made everything now difficult.
The IDEA behind the company is great. Their execution is awful.
They need serious work to make it user-friendly. Major errors everywhere you turn. I would never waste money on this.
Helping clients make new connections
Ease of use and support from the team, whether its to do with the platform support or invoicing my customer success maanger is only a few clicks away. Our CSM, Leike is particularly supportive and always open to working through challenges we present.
As a whitelabel solution partner I would like the help section to be whitelabelled also, therefore I would not have to replicate the documentation onto our branding.
Expandi is providing B2B sales automation that supports our cold outreach strategy, providing a level of efficiency to help scale our approach. It allows us to manage multiple clients and users within each client meaning we can provide a self service, done it for you or with you approach.
I must say it has completely transformed the way I approach campaigns and searches on the platform. With its impressive features and intuitive interface, Expandi has become an indispensable tool in my marketing arsenal. One of the standout benefits of Expandi is its robust campaign management system. The platform offers a seamless and automated way to engage with potential leads, allowing you to set up personalized messaging sequences with ease. This feature alone has significantly reduced my manual workload, freeing up valuable time to focus on other aspects of my marketing strategy. The ability to create dynamic campaigns that adapt to various audience segments is truly remarkable.
I'd like to receive some notifications regarding campaign performance
If you're serious about LinkedIn lead generation and want to upgrade your outreach strategies and efforts - Expandi is a good choice.
This tool takes 10s of hours off of my work week by elminating time-consuming, repetitive outreach tasks and ensuring that my follow ups always go out on time. They always stay on top of product development and deeply understand the changing landscape of LinkedIn as a platform. They go out of their way to keep in contact and provide in-depth tutorials for their platform. The integrated inbox is crucial to my lead management, it's so comprehensive that I no longer need a CRM tool to manage leads. If my clients prefer to use a CRM, I integrate it with Expandi. Simple as that!
Sometimes, the platform can be a little slow to respond to clicks.
Lead generation, network expansion, automation on the highest level for engaging with prospects. I am far more productive with this tool than any other I have ever used in my agency for lead generation, and I implement it to carry out thousands of tasks per month for my clients. It is a huge value add to any sales professional, recruiter, or decision-maker looking to connect with other businesses.
"The platform is user-friendly. The powerful search filters enable me to target my desired audience with precision. One of the standout features of Expandi is its ability to personalize messages at scale. Expandi has a range of customizable templates and variables, allowing me to send targeted messages to my connections without sacrificing a personal touch."
It was challenging for me to start using campaign builder. In terms of support, Expandi has a good customer service team. They can help troubleshoot any issues that arise.
We significantly improved our response rate.
The Global inbox feature, the ease of reporting, the simple-to-use UI and their support
The Global inbox feature not being a part of all the available plans
Expandi solves the problem of reaching out on LinkedIn at scale with the advantage of replying to all the leads from the dashboard itself.
I like the fact that it works around the clock and recognizes a users login pattern to schedule outreach campaigns. I also like the fact you can create a search on Linked in and export the search using a CSV file (MS Excel)
It can be a little complicated to use at first. The pricing is also a little high if you want multiple users in your business to be on the platform. I think discounts should be applied for more than one user as this will benefit small businesses who have low head count.
It enables me to get across multiple groups of people all at the same time. The benefit is it saves time when working on various projects for outreach.
It's a massive time saver. Once you set up the campaign, you only need to check the inbox daily for replies.
It sometimes takes a while to sync with LInkedin inbox but this is not a major issue
It automates my outreach which saves time and ensures that it actually gets done. Managing multiple accounts is easy too.
The software offers multiple functionalities that are very helpful to our services. And the best part is that the software updates they release are always benefecial for us, the customer. And if there is something their customer service always very adequate and helpful.
They do not offer inmail automation, which is sometimes requested by our customers. And we do not receive notifications when a lead replies to our messages, which is sometimes necessary since we use eachothers profiles.
Our customers want to reach out to their markets in an efficient and not-time-consuming way. We provide the leads, and Expandi helps us to easily reach out to those leads.
