"Speechify is absolutely brilliant. Growing up with dyslexia this would have made a big difference. I’m so glad to have it today."
Sir Richard BransonMost popular feedback for Sched
My first experience with Sched was as a speaker on a conference event being organized by our foreign collaborators. As my first foreign speaking engagement, I was naturally extremely nervous, but Sched made collaborating with the organizers so easy and that I felt very much at ease and ended up delivering an exceptional session. After that experience, I recommended trying Sched for our own subsequent conference events.

Most popular feedback for Workbooks
I have always loved working with Workbooks. All of their staff have never failed to be as helpful as they can be, and they are very quick to support us with any issues or queries that we may have. Their CRM package is very different to the kind of platform that a company like TDS would require but they have always helped us customize our databases so that we are able to support our products as best we can. Support team, in particular, stand out as a team that provides star service whenever we need help, and I cannot praise them enough.

Sched reviews
Communication is the main problem that Sched solves. It's an at-a-glance snapshot of an entire evening that easily drills down into specifics. It invites interaction, so that's another communication problem solved/helped. I couldn't be more thrilled to have Sched working on my event's behalf. Thank you!

We used to publish our own website with conference info; it had the basic info, but it was hard to keep the pieces consistent. Now we link to the Sched site from our event page and attendees find everything there. Speakers can post their pix and handouts and complete/update their profiles and send e-mail blasts to all who signed up for their workshop. We got good reporting and from it (and Google Analytics) see a high engagement rate (not just page views; over half set up accounts and created a personal schedule). This is all from their lowest service level/tier; higher levels integrate more with registration/payment etc., but we already have an online store and used it for front-end registration.

It wasn't too difficult to get everything set up, but we needed a human to help us select the right package to purchase. It was way too difficult reaching someone and we were actually told that no one could assist us for at least another week because that department was going to a conference.

Workbooks reviews
Overall workbooks has helped me to reduce the time I spend maintaining all the details related to customers and sales. Now this tool has helped me to organise and bring out more details from that. The account management and forecast has really helped me to do planning.
- Ruban D. Member of Technical Staff 3
It helps me sell. We capture leads directly from our Website and track the prospect from initial enquiry right through to final sale and beyond using workbooks.
- Dianne M. Sales Director
We needed a specific function and were told that it would be available in a future release. We changed a process in the business and then the feature came out sooner.

Pros & cons
Sched
| Pros |
|---|
| Love the easiness of selecting which sessions I wanted to attend |
| It then stored it and made it super easy for me to know exactly where to go |
| My district uses Sched to schedule our entire district professional training |
| This is fabulous I love that it emails me my schedule and I can access it all day as I attend trainings |
| I also love the ability to email attendees from the platform and how they also get a daily reminder |
| It is also wonderful how we can personalize the system with our own branding and images |
| This was a perfect option for our needs this year, and now that we know more about how it can be used, it will be used more often for our future conference needs." |
| Cons |
|---|
| We have received many complaints within 24 hours of launching the service |
| The lack of Spanish interface, because we are in Peru |
| It is difficult to find your meeting sometimes |
| There are so many meetings scheduled |
| Small landing/home page with limited customization." |
Workbooks
| Pros |
|---|
| We have been working with Workbooks for 4 years and have been delighted with it |
| The on-boarding was easy, and has stood the test of time |
| They will work with you to perfect the system to be exactly like you want it to be |
| The best thing I like about this product is that its an efficient and easy way to keep all your contacts and prospects in one database |
| It is also free to use for up to 2 users, which is fantastic value for a voluntary project or small business |
| It was so easy to convert over the data from our existing Works database into Workbooks." |
| Cons |
|---|
| Lack of built in lead allocation functionality |
| Automated lead allocation would required custom php code |
| There is very little that i dis-like about this software as any issues can be raised and put into development |
| We are using GatorMail via Workbooks, we have had a few teething problems in rolling out the change |
| This drives me crazy because I run off of 3 screens and have to sign into 3 different workbooks windows |
| Also the modification costs can get really high since not very many programmers know Workbooks." |
