Neil Gilmartin Business Consultant - Director Chose Really Simple Systems Goldmine was an older technology platform [that] became outdated in look, feel, and functionality.

Verified User Anonymous Chose Really Simple Systems RSS was just significantly cheaper, I was able to manage everything myself, and I didn't get bogged down with an implementation team.

User Testimonials
	Really Simple Systems	Salesflare
Likelihood to Recommend	I think one of the plus points is the simplicity of sending a simple email to your database and managing your prospects list. However, if you wanted to manage your sales pipeline in more depth it might not be right for you. Incentivized AA Amanda Arnold Read full review	In my opinion, Salesflare is an excellent CRM for small businesses. It includes everything a small business needs to manage leads, deals, and contacts in one convenient location. When a client needs more information or something done, I can quickly record it in their account—perfect for B2B SaaS and small businesses selling B2B in general. Aononna Tazin Customer Relationship Management Specialist Read full review
Pros	Customer Service is EXCELLENT! Fast response time, professional, and helpful. Platform is very intuitive and love the FREE WEBINARS they offer. Really Simple Systems gave us some ideas of how to use their product that we hadn't thought of ourselves. Very reasonably priced even at the Enterprise level, which we have chosen for our company. Niki Dealey Co-Owner Read full review	Salesflare integrates with Gsuite (as well as many other email platforms) allowing me to still use Gsuite as my main communication tool but still get the full value out of the Salesflare CRM Salesflare literally integrates with everything Salesflare takes care of many tasks automatically for you like contact imports as well as meeting and call management Incentivized Gary Shouldis Founder & CEO Read full review
Cons	Wish I could sort by tags a bit easier. I manage this by using their Reports feature. But I would like to assign the same task to a list of prospects with the same tag, and the only way I can do that is to either add the task one-by-one or export a report with all the accounts with that tag, add the task in excel, and then import it. Not ideal. Alison Meredith Marketing Director Read full review	I would like them to add integration to iPhones so I can dial directly from the PC. When I download contact information, I end up having to download every field(there are a lot of fields!). I would like to be able to select the fields I need and limit the download to just those fields - basically a simple report builder. Steve Newell Founder/CEO Read full review
Usability	Simple systems is great for smaller sales and marketing teams to log their territories and report on progress on their opportunities. There are many useful features such as tasks and reporting to show to management how opportunities are progressing and when the estimated close date would occur. The two main issues are scalability within larger [organizations] and the ease to duplicate contacts. Incentivized MC Max Charrington Sales Executive Read full review	The pipeline, which is the core of the platform, is very clear and full of features. On top of that Salesflare added automations, integrations, plugins and emails. You can easily get your leads there from any platform and nurture your leads until you get the deal done. I think any business can benefit from using this sales CRM. Tomer Aharon Co-Founder Read full review
Support Rating	Whenever I have had any issues, which is probably only 3 times in 10 years, the back office support has been fantastic and got me up and running again in a very short time. Cannot fault them at all. But as I stated, problems have been very few and far between. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Hit them on Chat support, and you are gonna get a response within a few minutes (if not in a few hours, during weekends) But they are gonna keep following with you till they make sure that your query has been resolved. Keep it up! Sampath S Head of Growth Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Really simpler systems [are] a lot more simple to use for employees are not as confident with computers/technology, in comparison Zoho CRM was a lot more complicated to use. Really Simple Systems was the better option for our business. Incentivized SW Sara Walker Administrative Assistant Read full review	Honestly, after using many of these tools, I quite prefer Salesflare over them. The price to functionality ratio makes SalesFlare a home run. Where many tools nickel and dime you on add-on features and expensive plans, Salesflare has a great pricing structure and gives you the tools you expect after reviewing their website Incentivized Dustin Day Director of UX development, social media and SEO/SEM Read full review
Return on Investment	Moved away from Excel based worksheets to an on-line system Multi-device used on laptop, iPad, and iPhone effectively and up to the minute access I can simply review my opportunities, companies, and contacts regularly and do ongoing reviews at my own leisure having built the CRM system and committed the right quality of data Neil Gilmartin Business Consultant - Director Read full review	Positive ROI is unmistakable and remarkably quick to show. Your sales process will become more focused and effective in no-time. Most CRMs slow down rather than enable and empower like Salesflare does: the nitty gritty data collection process is automated in a way that it naturally helps you make better decisions.
