We weren't aware that we needed help running productive meetings until we started using SoapBox!
The software allows us to set an agenda, assign actions and gives continuity between meetings.
In short, SoapBox has made our meetings much more productive. It's a great tool!
Pros
We were able to jump right in and start using SoapBox for our meetings as we were running them. It's very easy to get set up and using the software.
The app helps you to make meetings more productive. You can assign actions to individuals, share agendas with contacts ahead of time, and record notes as you're in a meeting.
The integration with 3rd party tools like Google Calendar and Chrome works really well.
Cons
I'd love to see integration with external CRM products such as Nimble CRM.

Hi Richard!
Thanks so much for being such an incredible advocate of Soapbox! We really appreciate your support through and through.
So glad to hear that our software has been able to help you and your team run better meetings and be more productive.
As per your integration request, I've gone ahead and let our product team know. For now, we have an integration with zapier.com, which connects Soapbox to over 2,000 apps (including Nimble). Not sure if it will entirely solve your needs right now, but hopefully it helps! :)

Good idea - bad implementation
Reviewed on 28/11/2018
As in title - it is a good idea but implementation is really bad. They should hire a UX person.
As in title - it is a good idea but implementation is really bad. They should hire a UX person.
Pros
The very good thing about SoapBox is it proposes an Agenda and questions for 1:1s. Many Leaders and Managers struggle with asking meaningful questions and SoapBox is very useful in it. Also it structures this meetings quite well.
Cons
The biggest problem with SoapBox is the UI. It is very hard to handle and takes a lot of time to understand what is where. Of course it would be understandable if the software is for complex processes but spending 10 minutes to find an option to invite other people is just too much for a soft for meetings. Also these questions which are proposed by SoapBox for 1:1s repeat often.

I have enjoyed the various formats that can be selected when creating an agenda. It appears these have tried-and-tested. So far, our teams have enjoyed using the various formats.
Pros
Our staff has appreciated using this as a structure for our team meetings and group discussions. It's easy to write summaries of each part of the meeting, allow a format for group chat, and a convenient way to upload links and attachments. The "pulse survey" at the end of the meeting is also a beneficial way to identify if that meeting was successful or not, according to attendees.
Cons
It would be ideal if the "description" of each agenda component would be displayed on the whole agenda. The summary part is a bit difficult when wanting to include multiple paragraphs. As opposed to hitting, "enter", you must actually hit "shift" and "enter." It's a quick-learn, nothing so disruptive the user experience is compromised.

Hi there!
Thanks so much for your feedback. That is AWESOME to hear that you're able to run better, more structured meetings and identify whether or not they were a good use of the team's time.
In regards to your request to have the item description appear in the agenda view, that's a great piece of feedback and I've shared that with the product team.
Thanks again for your review. So glad to have you as part of the Soapbox community! :)

Good feedback platform
Reviewed on 2/9/2020
The experience has been good, i really have had no issues.
The experience has been good, i really have had no issues.
Pros
the ability to integrate with Office tools like Teams. the ability to integrate with my outlook calendar and to setup recurring meetings. With one on one meetings / catch up meetings it is not always easy to ensure these happen but the integrations of SoapBox allow this to happen easily. The ease with which you can manage the agenda and keep certain items recurring - this made it really easy to track action points and progress on these. Every now and again i get interesting emails from SoapBox which i actually find to be useful and covering a wide range of topics. I especially liked content that focused on one one ones and how to make these more useful
Cons
I am not able to access the Agenda offline via a Team platform and have to go on to the website. It almost felt like while the two systems were integrated you had to go online to get the full functionality.

Hi Christine,
So glad Soapbox is able to help you run better meetings! :) Also, awesome to hear that you're finding value in our newsletter (I'm the one that sends them your way!). We'll definitely add more one-on-one focused content in future sends!
In regards to the requests you have, our engineering team is working hard to add more functionality to Teams to mirror what's available in the web app over the next few months. Keep an eye out. :)
