What Sets LinkPoint Blade Apart

User Friendly

"Our sales teams are clearly more efficient. Everyone takes advantage of recording to get emails into Salesforce, and many also create their follow-up tasks at the same time – finishing two items at once. LinkPoint Connect makes our very complicated CRM system very user friendly. It simplified a complex system and made it easier for users to utilize our CRM to the fullest. "
Stacey W.

A Game Changer

"There are those rare tools that you find that you actually are thankful for every single workday... Linkpoint Connect is one of those for me. The ease with which I can track my emails, drag contact info into Salesforce to create leads, and generally just keep track of my work is phenomenal...a game changer if you are currently cutting and pasting emails with a separate entry in Salesforce or cutting and pasting contact info from websites or emails to create new leads."
Lincoln W.

Save Time

"This app has saved my life in terms of time management. I can't say enough good things about how much time this saves, and how my management team has better visibility into the activity within the opportunities I am working on at any given time."

My First Recommendation

"As a consultant, I get asked all the time for best tools/best practices around emails and Salesforce. This is consistently my first recommendation. I love the fact that you can add contacts/leads by dragging and dropping signatures and add cases easily. It's easy to use and the support has been terrific. I highly recommend the tool and suggest it for anyone needing to streamline their workflow. "
Joann C.

Extremely Easy Implementation

"Salesforce implementations, even for Salesforce supported products, can be complicated and affect a number of components.

Some teams using Cirrus Insight report sync inconsistencies or lag tied to mailbox configurations. LinkPoint Blade operates as a native Outlook add-in, delivering dependable functionality without background sync interruptions or Gmail-based architectural limitations.

LinkPoint Blade does not store email data or route communications through external servers.
