CRM recommendation

[ganeemead]

Would anybody have a recommendation for a piece of CRM software which could handle both email and MSM messages in an automated manner? This would be for a medium-sized restaurant, which would like to be able to blast out notices about leftover pizza at third price as MSM messages and, also, send out blurbs as email. Customer lists would be kept as a spreadsheet or small database and, ideally, an incoming email with the word unsubscribe in the subject line should automatically remove that sender from the database.

Skip Salesforce unless you have VERY DEEP pockets. I tried and dumped about a dozen different ones for my company over the past 5 years, settled, painfully, on creating our own from scratch. The nature of our business didn't fit the out-of-the-box schemas of the available CRM. That said, what is the nature of your business/industry, I might be able to make some suggestions.

Message me privately if you prefer.

Do you really think people want messages blasted out to them?

Go bespoke. What is it your client needs? Understand the business goals. Have a meeting of everyone. Let them bitch. Fix the system. Write the software they need, want and will love. Also understand they have to remain competitive. Come in and crack your knuckles and say “Tell me about your business” Then think.

Speaking from experience.

what is the nature of your business

Uh, second sentence.

I despise Salesforce. I’ve got two companies I work with that require us to use it. Totally useless. Creates a lot more work than it saves. I guess it’s something for people that sit on their ass and do nothing to read.

And you’re correct about the CEO being a leftist obama ass kisser.

They got popular because they thought CRM was a niche thing but in the past 5 years alone multiple competitors sprung up and they realized they’re not the only game in town.

Agree with SalesForce. One of my clients use it, and it is expensive and hard to use.

We develop custom solutions across a variety of functions - incentives, commissions, salary, performance management, Sales Dashboards. We do this using Excel with VBA. Sophisticated solutions with click of the mouse easy performance. Drop me a MP if you want to discuss solutions.

Is this related to moose and cheese?

I have heard good things about Bitrix24. However, I am not a user.

Choosing the correct CRM for your business is an important process. There are many things to consider like Goals – It is important that you understand what problem you are trying to solve. Implementation – This component is a key. Any time that you are changing or introducing new software, there is going to be a period of implementation.
try SAP or Siebel

It’s been nearly a year and a half. I’m sure the decisions and acquisitions have been made by now.

Keep in mind that a good CRM system can:
-identify customers “buying patterns”;
-allow you to make campaigns tailored to a specific group of users;
-keep your customers data safely stored and organised;
-help with scheduling;
-improve your customers support.
I know that Salesforce can help you to manage all these tasks. All you need is to appeal to https://www.keynodesolutions.com team. They will help you to implement the system and save your money. So just contact them.
