Lasso CRM vs. Workbooks

Lasso is a simple and easy-to-use CRM, above and beyond the daily tasks that the sales team or sales assistant complete, it allows our accounting department to generate reports and prepare invoices accordingly for commissions generated based on sales of condos.

It's a really great system for small to medium organizations that are willing to spend some time thinking about how their workflow can be improved by designing processes which will allow them to streamline and automate their business. For people who are not serious about making a commitment to bettering their business, Workbooks may not be a correct fit. For instance there are a lot of features which many people think they don't need, but they haven't really spent the time to figure out what the needs of the business are. The nice thing about Workbooks is that you can turn off things you don't need, and then when the business demands, they will be there for you to utilize.

• Easy capture of eleads from multiple sources. Lasso automatically captures potential buyers who submit for more information across multiple sources, including on social media, BDX, our website, and others.
• Lasso helps keep everything organized, from dividing the sales efforts of multiple sales people across multiple neighborhoods, to allowing us to track which floorplans and lots our potential buyers are interested in.
• Setting up a robust prospect nurturing plan is easy, allowing our sales team to effortlessly follow pre-determined templates for follow up.

• Sales process management from enquiry to delivery of product
• This was previously on as many as 4 systems using excel and legacy applications such as the written word in log books
• Automatic reporting for financial compliance: once built, the reporting process reduced the workload on a monthly basis from 2 days to 20 minutes
• The FD loved it
• The overall capability of the package enabled the sales force to rapidly pull our pertinent data for a sales call, plus managing time and resources better for increased efficiency
• Business development and focussed marketing became so much easier, we noted that the process paid for itself many times over

• Connection between inventory and sales modules.
• Calculation of commissions of representatives using the tool (not outside realtors).
• Price revisions.

• There really isn't all that much, what I would like to see is an app to use on iDevices. Our sales team all have iPads for presentations etc.
• While Workbooks works rather well with HTML 5, I would still like to see an app. I know it's in the making, but haven't seen anything of this as of yet.
• I am sure that would increase productivity even further (if it's of the same standard as the main environment).

the product works. support has been good or great so far all has been great and we hope to get more from the product. we purchased for an initial year then renewed for a longer term, we have no regrets with this.

Workbooks CRM never let me down.

Workbooks online trianing does what it needs to; but some training will always be better suited to face to face..

We felt the high amount of customisation available from Workbooks was much more beneficial to us than the offerings from the larger CRM companies. We also liked the smaller company mentality of Workbooks as it reminded us of ourselves. Ultimately the price also paid a factor as Workbooks was more affordable for what we needed.
