They are always 'on', no micro-managing their team which is so important as other platforms do not have such dedicated and responsible teams. Believe me, I have tried them all. RESULTS matter and they WIN here!" **James Lee** Founder, Capyera "We generated $22K in less 24 hours on my very FIRST product launch. We pulled it off working with 50 nano influencers and SARAL made this process extremely seamless even for the first time founder like me." **Robert Jan** Founder, Kindershake "It took us a lot of time to send out emails to influencers, keeping track of when to follow up, etc. Then we discovered Saral and the many automations save us a lot of time and manual labour. And whenever we have questions, the customer support is always fast and efficient. Highly recommend!" **Ketan Vakil** Founder, Gourment Foods "The Saral platform is a fabulous tool for finding and engaging with new potential partners. Plus, the tool is full of amazing educational content to help us craft our programs in the best way possible and the Saral team has been a Slack message away to discuss best practices, feature requests and more (very rare in the SaaS space!). Very pleased and looking forward to growing together." **Parker Thomas** President, Josu "Using the SARAL influencer affiliate platform has revolutionized my influencer marketing strategy by allowing me to connect with more influencers quickly and affordably.
