Why are you a) looking for posts about them and b) taking the time to write about <a href="https://crm.infusionsoft.com/go/tour/wschaeffer/" rel="nofollow">InfusionSoft</a>? It's unfortunate you had a bad experience with <a href="https://crm.infusionsoft.com/go/tour/wschaeffer/" rel="nofollow">InfusionSoft</a> but I know they don't suck. They are delivering over 40,000,000 emails a month with over 98.4% deliverability and they are improving that monthly while they expect their email delivery numbers to double in the next year. So SOMEBODY like them and SOMEBODY is getting A LOT of emails delivered. What were you selling? What were you writing in your emails? Have you seen their new "Spam Score" tool that checks your content for excessive use of "spammy" words? While email deliverability is important, if all you were doing was trying to send a bunch of emails you were only using 20% of <a href="https://crm.infusionsoft.com/go/tour/wschaeffer/" rel="nofollow">InfusionSoft's</a> functionality. Their web forms with their new Java script builder is sweet. The ability to create detailed, targeted follow up sequences is second-to-none. Their Affiliate and e-Commerce portals are fantastic. Having it all in one place is a life-saver. Having unlimited, free tech support is unmatched in the industry. While none of that changes the fact you had a bad experience I'd love to know how many systems you are now juggling and how much it is costing you to do what InfusionSoft was doing for you. I bet you have at least two systems and I bet you are doing some duplicate entries and I bet it is taking you longer to get less done. Good luck in your business. Wes Stanley,

It’s unfortunate you had a bad experience with InfusionSoft but I know they don’t suck. They are delivering over 40,000,000 emails a month with over 98.4% deliverability and they are improving that monthly while they expect their email delivery numbers to double in the next year.

While email deliverability is important, if all you were doing was trying to send a bunch of emails you were only using 20% of InfusionSoft’s functionality. Their web forms with their new Java script builder is sweet. The ability to create detailed, targeted follow up sequences is second-to-none. Their Affiliate and e-Commerce portals are fantastic. Having it all in one place is a life-saver. Having unlimited, free tech support is unmatched in the industry.

While none of that changes the fact you had a bad experience I’d love to know how many systems you are now juggling and how much it is costing you to do what InfusionSoft was doing for you. I bet you have at least two systems and I bet you are doing some duplicate entries and I bet it is taking you longer to get less done.

Good luck in your business.

Over that period of time I went to numerous trainings both in person and online. The bottom line was that no matter what steps I took to get people to open my emails, they never did and from my customer service calls found out they were usually in the junk folder. I don’t know the reasons because the support team always had pat answers that never seemed to make sense to me. My last effort to make the system work failed miserably I sent out another batch of over 200 emails both single and double opt in and only had a handful opened. However, I did receive a number of automated SPAM complaints. The last straw was when I went to clean out my junk email folder and saw the copy that get’s sent to the sender. I had made sure that I double opted in even after all the work spent to minimize this result for my clients, Infusionsoft couldn’t even make it to my in box. While they talk a good game, I wouldn’t recommend this product to anyone. There are just too many other providers out there that can actually deliver. Unfortunately I learned the hard way at a very significant cost but, you don’t. Well, I used Infusion”SUCKS” for about 2yrs before I finally gave up.
