Reviews of Penny
Penny is a great investment
Comments: I wonder how I managed without Penny previously
Pros:
I love that Penny integrates with my back office The Support Team when available are amazing
Cons:
A bug does not allow people's faces to show on some of my facebook profiles inside Penny which does not affect functionality but does depersonalise the process. The time differences can sometimes make a difference with support and 'real' time

Penny App - CRM for my Rodan+Fields Network Marketing Business
Comments: My overall experience with Penny has been excellent. Comfort of mind at the end of the day that I have touched on all aspects of my business, in a timely and efficient manner is super important. Being able to pick up where I left off, no matter where I am, what distracted me from my session or when I am able to return to my tasks is helpful in the bigger picture.
Pros:
• Super easy to set up, import contacts from social media channels and even my iPhone contact list. Super important to have them all in one place. • Excellent and user friendly welcome to the platform, and easily accessible tutorials • Virtual Assistant is excellent, highly responsive and results driven. They check back to make sure that they have resolved your problem / query / questions on use, circle back with live discussions and tutorials. They really listen to what it is that I as a user need the platform to do for speed and efficiency. • The ability to tackle my Day all on one page, is super helpful. Everything from my reachouts to followups, autoship reminders, staying on top of my connections and even reaching deeper into my community to stay in touch with contacts I may not have followed up with consistently. • One of my biggest challenges has always been on the follow up, and contacts falling through the gaps. Penny helps me to stay on top of this, giving me comfort and removing the anxiety that comes with these activities. • I LOVE the Custom Lists Feature. I can create a targeted list in seconds for any specials my company or team may be running, and even add our companies content directly from penny. • Fill my Funnel feature is amazing. Penny is doing some profiling. I am just digging deeper into this, but find it is taking some guesswork out of my prospecting as Penny identifies prospects that fit the profile of my current team and client base.
Cons:
I would like to be able to identify, at a glance, follow ups that I set up myself, versus the ones that Penny has set up. I can do this by the date of the follow ups and by categorizing them, however, sometimes I haven't done all of the steps and just want to know where the followups and reachouts come from at a glance. It could be colour or icon tagging. And then again, maybe I am just not using the feature properly.

We look forward to adding on more features and updates this year to further help you easily manage your daily business activities and help keep your follow-ups more organized. Thank you for taking time out of your day to provide valuable feedback to us at Penny! All the best, -David, CEO/Co-Founder at Penny
Great CRM for Network Marketing!
Comments: Amazing customer service! Continuous improvement! Helpful organizational tool! Keep the updates coming as this is the way to a successful network marketing business!
Pros:
Penny has customized several features for Isagenix making it easier and easier for all Associates to utilize this tool. I love the ability to see customers past and upcoming orders. The content is helpful as well.
Cons:
Inability to customize custom lists a little further so all 100 people on your list do not appear on your daily tasks. As someone who likes to complete tasks daily, this causes me to not use custom lists. Tags assigned by Penny in current customers are lengthy for some and the only option to save changes in some screens is to scroll all the way down past all the tags.

Thanks for your comments Dawn, We are so happy to hear how much you're loving the app. Penny is only as good as the feedback we get and this is no exception. This is a great suggestion and you haven't been the first one to request it. We are listening! Stay tuned for more updates and enhancements as Penny grows. The content was created to streamline your workday- glad you noticed! All the best, -David, (CEO-Co-Founder)
Love Penny
Comments: Penny keeps me organized & productive even when I'm feeling lazy.
Pros:
I love how I can sync all of my Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and phone contacts. When I sit down to work, Penny tells me exactly who to reach out to or follow up with to keep me organized. I love how it syncs with my R+F back office as well. Penny helps me follow up with people I would have otherwise forgotten about!
Cons:
It would be great if I could send an email to all of my solution tool contacts via one quick email. This would come in handy when there is a sale or new deal.

Feedback
Comments: Excellent. I love the program and feel with a few more tweaks it will be even more amazing.
Pros:
It helps to hold myself and my team accountable. Love being able to merge it with so many platforms so we will never run out of leads.
Cons:
Too many steps....there are a few tasks I do that could be much easier. I do not want to schedule followups with people I am in constant contact with.

Penny is a MUST HAVE!
Comments: My overall experience with Penny has been pleasant. If I ever had a concern, I was able to chat with customer service and have it addressed in a timely manner. I have not found anything as cohesive as Penny for direct sellers!
Pros:
Penny is a must-have for anyone in direct sales. It organizes my contacts and advises me on who I should reach out to daily. Additionally, it gives me customer service tasks to stay engaged with my clients. I have been using the free version for a little over two years. They recently developed an in-app purchase, which offers more options but it is more than I am willing to pay. The free version gets me where I need to be in my business.
Cons:
I do not like the monthly costs for the premium options that were recently added. If it was a one-time charge, I would highly consider it but I do not think the additional features warrant paying a monthly subscription.

Dear Amanda, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. I truly appreciate the honesty! Thank you for bringing this to my attention. When deciding on a price for our Pro product we took into consideration other CRM options currently on the market that range anywhere from $11-60 a month and decided on something that would be affordable and accessible for all of our users. We hope that the quality of our product, the benefits it can provide to you, your time, and your business is something to consider when choosing to subscribe to our Pro version. However, Penny still remains free for everyone to use with many benefits from her free version! If you'd like more information on the benefits and differences between Penny's free version and her Pro subscription please reach out to us via our chat and we'll be happy to go over that with you! Thank you! All the best, -David, CEO/Co-Founder at Penny
Thank you for all you do!
Comments: From the very beginning I have always had the most pleasant experience with Penny and the entire staff! Everyone is extremely friendly and always willing to help me have a BIG DAY!
Pros:
This software has been such an integral part of working efficiently and effectively! The level of detail that has been put into the software that is specific to our company/industry’s needs has been an incredible asset to my business and to those in my team!
Cons:
A little nuance is going through hundreds contacts that I follow on platforms such as Instagram that get rolled up in my contact list that are celebrities or companies. These are not true contacts and it’s a little time consuming to weed them out rather than approving them being added to my list.

Hi Melisa! Thank you so much for appreciating the thoughtfulness of our developers work in order to customize Penny to suit your company and consultants needs! If you're finding categorizing and filtering through your contacts time consuming, I'd recommend you focus solely on completing tasks on your Daily screen as those are the contacts Penny has determined are hot leads and who're most likely to respond positively to your reach out! If you'd like more tips on that, reach out to us via our chat and we'll be happy to provide you with more tips on how to utilize Penny to maximize her tools for your business workflow! Hope to hear from you soon, have a great #BIG day and keep up the great work!
Penny has drastically improved and streamlined customer management in my business
Comments: I find that Penny has drastically improved and streamlined my customer relationship management capabilities. Everything is in one place and easily accessible. It’s very benedical having all my customer and prospect information at my fingertips, plus reminders for who I need to connect with, and sample language to help with making those connections with ease. Their customer service is responsive and their offerings constantly evolving and I really get exceptional ROI from my monthly investment and value for money. I have shared this with my team and everyone who uses it also loves it and find it truly helps their business grow.
Pros:
I absolutely love Penny and use it every day in my business to help manage my customers and prospects. It’s so easy to setup and incredibly user friendly and I love that it can be tailored specifically for my industry. It’s also constantly evolving its offerings and improving the functionality and features so there is always something new available that makes the app even more useful.
Cons:
There truly aren’t any cons that I’ve experienced, other than some small quirks. And the customer service is fantastic so anytime a new suggestion is offered they really take it into consideration to create improvements.

What's your time worth?
Comments: I'm a busy mom of 3 with a husband that travels a bit for work. Before I started using Penny I would stress myself out and have to sacrifice time with my kids just to work my business to make the money to pay for the activities we wanted to do - which makes no sense. The two greatest values Penny gives me is time & organization. In direct sales you have to work your business in pockets of time, so when I had a 20 minute window to work I'd waste 10 minutes just trying to get organized to start work. That is not productive. I started my direct sales business so I could have a second stream of income, and time to enjoy that income with my family. Using Penny actually gives me both. It helps me be more focused and productive, which means I am better at serving my customers, and I when I am with my kids I can put my mind at ease because I know Penny has it all sorted.
Pros:
I am not a tech-savvy person but I absolutely love how simple Penny is to use. It connects directly with my back office so it's always up to date and tells me what I should do.
Cons:
Honestly, whoever is behind Penny is on top of it. They are constantly updating and releasing new features. They're always a few steps ahead of what i need.

Penny- Worth every Penny
Comments: Penny has been a big impact on the expansion and productivity of my business. It's a great tool and has the great potential.
Pros:
The ability to keep social media contacts synchronized is another time saver. Recommendations and reminders keep you on track. Notification when customers or clients have reviewed content is a great business tool.
Cons:
The ability to import customized packs or deals directly from company website would be a super asset. Also to be able a manually add or edit social media contacts when they have duplicate names, but are 2 different people almost needs to be added.

Best tool for direct sales!
Pros:
This software makes running my business so much more organized and efficient! It’s easy to use and the customer service is amazing. I love the integration with my social media platforms and how easy it is to use.
Cons:
Given that it is still relatively new, there seem to be a few kinks that they’re working out but their customer service is amazing. Anytime I have an issue or concern, they promptly respond and also regularly implement any suggested changes.

Game Changer!!
Comments: I have absolutely nothing but positive experience with Penny. Customer service is EXCELLENT!! If I have ever had a small problem, I use the IM feature and get a response very quickly!!
Pros:
Penny makes my life so much easier!! Before using Penny, I kept all my contacts on a google spreadsheet. It was a nightmare to keep straight who to reach out to, follow up with, and how long I needed to wait in between. I am now able to log into Penny (either from my phone or computer) and see exactly what tasks I need to accomplish each day. I also appreciate that resources from our company are all loaded into my app.
Cons:
Sometimes Penny takes longer than I would like to load on my computer.

Thanks again Jenny, excellent job so far! -Team Penny
Your virtual assistant, done right!
Comments: This was the piece of my business that was missing. I was using antiquated spreadsheets that I spent hours sorting through...which was better than most people were using - hand written notes! As an engineer by trade I am so grateful this software was developed to maximize my time and increase my productivity!
Pros:
I love that Penny sorts out my day so I don’t have to spend time figuring out who needs attention!
Cons:
So far all of the functionality I felt was missing has been integrated into the software (because I left regular feedback)!

Organize your leads
Comments: Penny takes care of all of my tasks and organizes them for me.
Pros:
I love that Penny does all the thinking for me and organizes all of my leads. It is easy to use and user friendly.
Cons:
I would like to have 2 tabs for following up with my leads that is called: 1) CHECKING IN and 2) OTHER. Sometimes I am just checking in with a lead and not necessarily "reaching out". I might not be talking specifically about R+F,. The choices given do not necessarily work for my follow ups. (Theres a chance, Hot prsopect, Potenial client, Not Interested).
