CRM is about paying attention, being organized, working together toward shared goals,
and giving valued relationships the Tender Loving Care (TLC) they deserve.

Dear clients, associates, colleagues, family and friends,
Over the past decade or so, to help people improve their incomes, I`ve studied the best tools and practices in Customer Relationship Management (CRM). (I understand a good CRM system to be The Tool for performing a well-developed Marketing Plan.) During that time, I`ve seen many changes and improvements. Last week I had occasion to update this research.
To benefit you and those you know, I am freely sharing the below findings. As you can see, I`ve developed twenty-one criteria with which I score thirty-one applications. (More information about these findings is available on the Improve Income page.)
For many years, although it has a "clunky" look and feel, because I find it delivers the most functionality at the least cost, my favorite app has been crmpro.com which, as you can see, much to my own surprise considering its maturity, ranks #1 when evaluated objectively according to the below criteria.
I was also delighted to discover another app that is very similar to it, but with a much more modern look and feel: karmacrm.com, which, although it's ranked #7 below, is my personal second favorite because of its affordability, short learning curve, thorough integration, and robust features.
Although Karma is faster and prettier, I`m still sticking with crmpro.com because it does web forms; and for me, its other advantages don`t justify switching. I also find that, paradoxically, although it's an older application, crmpro.com works better on my new Samsung S5 smart phone than Karma does. So be encouraged that if you`re using crmpro.com, you chose well. In today`s market, it remains superior.
If you aren't using a real CRM yet, I encourage you to pick your best fit from this list and let me help you learn to use it easily and rapidly - with minimal disruption, frustration, and delays, and maximal effectiveness.
I hope you find this helpful, and that we can work together soon to equip you with a CRM solution that helps reach your goals. Please contact me!
At your service,
