Consolto Review

Consolto’s hope is that with their SMB-focused conferencing solution, anyone can offer high impact, one-on-one digital services that are on par and even exceed those provided by larger organizations. The Problem According to Consolto.com, right now setting up a videochat with a client can be somewhat of an awkward process with current solutions like Zoom, Skype or Google Hangouts which were not built for business to client scenarios. They require either: Some sort of client installation -- bummer. Username/Password credentials -- where is that darn password? Sending a link or an email to connect with prospective clients -- tedious. Adding to contacts -- privacy anyone? Little to no backoffice capabilities. How’s one supposed to get any business done? Another important aspect that is poorly addressed by these solutions is their ability to manage the sessions. For example, Zoom does not save texts from chats, so important notes and insights written during sessions are lost. These types of solutions make it difficult to manage sales or consultation sessions. Consolto sees their solution as a VCRM -- a Videochat-based Customer Relationship Management platform that was designed to enhance business interactions. It enables anonymous, contactless (without exchanging contact details), frictionless (no downloads, no credentials) real-time communication via video. Their product is available either as a website widget or a direct link enabled through a Personal Page. Fully optimized for the needs of SMBs and freelancers, Consolto’s easy to install solution (just one line of code) deploys an impressive roster of high impact functionality that simplifies the management of videochat business interactions. These functionalities include meeting scheduling, in-app invoicing and payments, memos, session transcription (coming soon), CRM-like followup notifications, client analytics and persistent messaging, to name just a few.
