User Testimonials
	MethodCRM	Stadtwerk365
Likelihood to Recommend	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. Incentivized LH Lauren Hamby Marketing Communications Coordinator Read full review	No answers on this topic
Pros	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. Incentivized DS Dorothy Sela Owner Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	I believe there is room for improvement with scaling down on the customizing (sometimes having too much isn't always a good thing) The estimate creator in Method is not as fluid as making an estimate in QB. (moving lines around, adding lines, etc.) Incentivized HS Heather Sharbutt Director of Product Marketing Read full review	No answers on this topic
Likelihood to Renew	The things Method does well - QuickBooks data integration and extreme customization - it does very, very well.

Usability	I'm fairly new to the company and have only been using Method for the last year and the ease of use has been a blessing for me. I've self trained on most of the aspects and have incorporated new operations in the company, based on what Method has to offer, that have enhanced the productivity for all associates. Incentivized Katie Martine Marketing Manager Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	The support is great. They are on the line within minutes and share screen to figure out the problem immediately. I would highly recommend this product for that reason. I do wish the customization was a bit easier to use; however, with fewer settings that are available to the end user and an easier way to read the customization.

Implementation Rating	Be available to learn! There is a huge learning curve to this program. You have to be willing to take it all in. Be available to the Method expert and be patient. Denice Castillo Special Projects and VP of Operations Read full review	No answers on this topic

Return on Investment	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.
