LeadDelta VS Dex – The Best CRM Choice

In today’s fast-paced online landscape, having a CRM in your toolkit is a must when managing your sales deal flow, but what about professional relationships?

Cultivating and nurturing relationships has never been more critical in our digitally connected world. It’s how we get new sales, hire employees, raise investments, and get professional help when needed.

Choosing the right CRM makes all the difference in your effectiveness and productivity while building your network.

In this article, we’ll dive deep into whether Dex makes sense as your CRM tool of choice or if LeadDelta is a better alternative.

Let’s get into it.

LeadDelta VS Dex at a Glance

Dex, at its core, is a personal CRM and lets you manage only your personal contacts with the goal of helping you keep in touch with important people.

This makes Dex great if you don’t have a huge network and only want to manage your friends, family, and a few colleagues.

But if you use your network daily for sales, hiring, investing, and growing your business, then Dex isn’t the right CRM for you.

LeadDelta is both a personal and business CRM in one, meaning you can use it to manage relationships and get value out of your network by collaborating with your whole team.

Let’s compare the two tools side by side.

With a dedicated collaborative environment, the ability to import contacts you aren’t connected with, and native integrations with your other business tools, LeadDelta is clearly a superior CRM for your business network.

But how do their similarities compare?

Feature Comparison

As both LeadDelta and Dex help you manage your contacts, they have many features in common, but they are implemented differently.

Contact List Overview

Both LeadDelta and Dex allow you to see your whole list of contacts in a table view, but LeadDelta has a bigger focus on data, allowing you to:

Tasks and Reminders

Creating reminders to catch up with your contacts is Dex’s core feature helping you stay connected, but LeadDelta helps you focus on what’s important and collaborate with your team:

  • Assign tasks linked to a specific contact
  • Differentiate your tasks by their type and urgency
  • Filter your task lists by priority, due date, type…
  • Create repeating tasks
  • Assign tasks to your teammates
  • Quickly create tasks from your inbox

Contact Filtering

Bot Dex and LeadDelta can help you find the contact you are looking for by allowing you to filter your whole contacts list, but what sets LeadDelta apart is:

Must-Have Features Missing From Dex

Team Collaboration

LeadDelta Workspaces allows you and your whole team to merge your networks into one database and collaborate to extract value from your contacts.

Filter your combined network to find new contacts and see the best person on your team who can make an introduction.

Manage your combined network by utilizing team-wide Tags and creating tasks for your teammates.

Go beyond your 1st-degree connections by importing LinkedIn contacts with the LeadDelta Sidebar and work with your team on scoring new deals.

Integrated Inbox

You shouldn’t be switching between LinkedIn and your CRM while conversing with contacts and spending hours trying to manage your messages.

LeadDelta Smart Inbox allows you to communicate with your contacts while having access to their information, Notes, and message templates.

Manage your inbox with Tags and easily filter to find the conversation you are looking for and Pin important conversations to the top of your inbox.

If you use LinkedIn Sales Navigator, LeadDelta combines the two inboxes into one, making you more productive in making new deals happen.

HubSpot Integrations

If HubSpot is your go-to tool for business growth, then you know how tedious it is to manually import new contacts, start workflows, and keep track of your pipeline.

LeadDelta gives you a seamless way to integrate your network, from LinkedIn connections to contacts with HubSpot.

Create triggers based on new contacts, applied Tags, and Notes that start HubSpot workflows and import specific contacts into campaigns.

Work with your team to grow your business faster by using your combined contacts with HubSpot.

Is LeadDelta The Dex Alternative You Are Looking For?

While Dex is a great CRM for managing your personal contacts and staying in touch with people, Dex wasn’t designed for growth and business contacts.

LeadDelta is a great Dex alternative as it allows you to manage your personal contacts and work together with your team.

Say goodbye to managing static contacts, limited integrations, and no team-centric features.

Take control of your network to sell, hire, and grow!
