You get a dedicated account manager, not just a dashboard.
Don't just take our word for it — see what real customers are saying!
Not happy with the service, support is not responsive enough for a CRM service too.
Octopus brand it as being an automation tool to save time when it's just another set of boxes that require manual data entry and most of the claimed functions do not work. The customer service is terrible and i would avoid the company like the plague!
Terrible customer service, there are much better alternatives to this platform. The response from customer service was very rude, I didn't feel they gave any thought to their response. They also send messages from fake employees.
Great Lead generation, and very informative meetings
From first contact through to the kick-off, the team at Cleverly were friendly, responsive and immediately and directly answered all questions that I had. Ahmed El Ashi lead my kick-off call which filled me with confidence and looking forward to working with him more.
The platform is easy to understand and the perfect blend of automation and personal customer service. This is our first experience with a LinkedIn outreach service. It's too early to tell if the campaign will be effective, but the user experience is excellent.
We focused our market approach on mid-market technology decision-makers, targeting CTOs and IT Directors at high-growth companies (50-1000 employees) showing clear digital transformation signals. We refined our targeting by identifying companies using legacy systems and those with recent funding, then addressed common vendor skepticism by leading with specific value metrics from similar customers (e.g., "reduced processing time by 40%") and offering brief product demonstrations. This approach proved highly effective, resulting in a 15% outreach-to-demo conversion rate and 30% trial-to-paid conversion rate.

Great work on the last 2 months of campaigns! We have definitely seen an uptick in leads and closed clients. We should be closing another deal tomorrow!

Adaptable specailizes in Webflow development, but you can't target by technology used in LinkedIn. So, we took a creative partnerships angle by reaching out to B2B agencies, web designers and IT consultants who have client bases using Webflow, and led with a win-win referral offer to entice meetings.

Midori only works with high-earning women executives, which is a niche persona there are no filters for in LinkedIn, so we used advanced boolean tactics to get the list 95% qualified. We helped Midori create a offer that works on cold traffic by positioning the ask for a sales call as an exclusive invitation for a mutually beneficial chat.

Cleverly is a fully managed LinkedIn lead generation service focused on starting conversations with decision-makers and booking qualified meetings. Octopus CRM is a LinkedIn automation tool that allows users to automate connection requests, profile visits, and message sequences, but campaigns must be set up and managed by the user.
Not exactly. Cleverly provides an end-to-end outreach service including prospect targeting, message strategy, campaign execution, and response management. Octopus CRM is a software platform that helps automate certain LinkedIn actions but still requires users to handle targeting, messaging, and optimization themselves.
Cleverly is often the better option for companies that don’t have the time or internal resources to manage LinkedIn campaigns. Since Cleverly handles the entire outreach process, businesses can focus on responding to interested prospects and closing deals rather than managing automation tools.
Cleverly focuses on strategic targeting and human-written messaging designed to create genuine conversations with prospects. Octopus CRM mainly enables automated message sequences, which can help with scale but still requires users to design and manage personalization within the tool.
For businesses that prioritize qualified meetings with decision-makers, Cleverly can be a strong fit because its campaigns are built around initiating conversations and generating real opportunities. Octopus CRM provides automation capabilities but relies on users to design and optimize campaigns that lead to meetings.
