    Method[:CRM] is well suited when you have a large company that needs to keep track of customers. It also connects with Quickbooks and that has really been nice for our organization. Our company is small so this really helps us stay on track and build our data base of customers.

    Pros
    Less Annoying CRM
    • Simple, intuitive usage
    • Daily agenda emails
    • Ease of moving calendar / action items around, closing out
    • Customer service is extremely responsive, they don't hide behind a "contact us" form on their website as so many companies seem to do. You can readily reach them by phone!

    • The customization team is brilliant!
    • The various integrations, QBO & Gmail, help me keep track of all customer interactions.
    • The more organized I am, the more time I have to take care of my clients!
    • I have nothing but praise for the support team and the rest of the crew at Method.

    Cons
    Less Annoying CRM
    • The one thing I was looking for is a place to manage multiple businesses with one project. Like if I am selling a "summer camp guide," I would like to have info for sales in one place with multiple contacts and businesses. LACRM customer service provided a workaround for me by suggesting I set up a specific pipeline for each project and them put each business in there. It is working great and, actually, a much better way to manage the project than I have originally intended.
    • I really don't have anything else to add. LACRM is perfect for us.

    • It would be great if we could attach files to a lead or account in general and not just in an activity or opportunity.
    • All custom fields do not show up as options for a view when searching for leads or customers within certain parameters.

    Less Annoying CRM
    The biggest reason I came to Less Annoying CRM was how simple it was to use and how powerful it is. The learning curve is very small, and I was able to start using it in a productive way right from the beginning. When I had questions or asked for suggestions the CRM Coaches at the company responded immediately and made sure my questions were answered.

    Method has a great overall "usability". Once we started using the software; it did not take long before we were able to start editing our own web lead forms, email templates, etc. I think there is a learning curve however the learning curve is not bad. Anyone looking for a cloud CRM should start here

    No CRM comes ready to run out of the box. But Less Annoying CRM is close to it. It all comes down to your needs . To get started Less Annoying CRM is by far the fastest and easiest route. Less Annoying CRM doesn't have all the bells and jingles rather more or less what you need. With all other CRM's I've used and evaluated you need to go through "a setup" which either cost you money and/or your time. I figure if it takes a setup involving people (consultants) before getting started it says a lot about the flexibility in terms of what your can do later on.

    We chose Method:CRM for the QuickBooks integration. It was important for us to have integrations that allowed us to view payments, organize our contacts, and manage our sales force. There were some learning curves, however, such as creating activities, leads, customers and making sure our payments were being logged appropriately. I do wish that payments would be added to the calendar automatically so that the sales rep could view and make a phone call letting them know their invoice is due.

    • Not just storage of information, but utilizing that information to build stronger relationships with clients
    • Because it's web-based, we can be at our desk or on the road and still have the full functionality of the CRM at our fingertips, which helps us keep focusing on sales!

    • Method:CRM has probably saved me about 6-10 hours per week over the past few years.
    • It has likely saved our company several hundred hours in the last 10 years.
    • It has specifically saved us countless hours with better data management vs. having separate spreadsheets for keeping track of things.
