ConnectAndSell alternative
ConnectAndSell pioneered agent-assisted dialing, with quote-only pricing reported in the thousands per seat per month on annual contracts. Dialer gives your reps parallel dialing they run themselves, signed up in minutes.
Teams usually start searching for a ConnectAndSell alternative when they hit a ceiling: reported four-figure monthly cost per seat; annual contracts with seat minimums (reported); a managed service rather than a tool your team owns. If that sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
Dialer is a browser-based parallel power dialer for GoHighLevel, HubSpot, Salesforce and ClickFunnels teams. Reps dial up to 5 lines at once, machines get your voicemail drop, phone trees and call screeners are handled automatically, and every conversation syncs back to your CRM. It runs on your own Twilio account, so you pay Twilio's rates with no per-minute markup.

Use cases
Agencies moving off ConnectAndSell usually want one dialer they can roll out across every client. Dialer installs as a GoHighLevel marketplace app, syncs contacts and tags in real time and can be resold under your own brand, with your domain and your Stripe billing.
CRM-first teams keep HubSpot or Salesforce as the source of truth. Dialer imports a list or list view in a click, dials it in parallel and logs every conversation back on the matching record, so reps never retype a call.
Volume teams care about live conversations per hour. Dialer rings up to 5 contacts per rep, drops voicemails automatically, gets through phone trees and call screeners, and protects your caller IDs from spam labels.
