Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why.
Method[:CRM] is used within our company to keep track of customers and their history. It helps us all easily access customer information. We have also created a large data base by implementing a web to lead form on our website to collect customer information. I am able to assign tasks to others and I can check back to see if they have completed them. We are a fairly small company with a rather large customer base. We only have five employees using it currently. However, given that we have so many customers, Method[:CRM] is a great way to keep track of them so that we can all remain up to date on what is going on.
- Web to Lead forms
- Customer Support
- Customization
- We would use the email campaigns more but they just aren't as nice as Mail Chimp
- Using the advance search can be frustrating
- I would really like to see some more customization and updating to sending emails
When I first started with Wilco, the management tasked me with finding and selecting a CRM tool for our company to grow with. I did a search for about the first three weeks, and after a lot of conversations, had it narrowed down to three platforms: Zoho, Hubspot, and Method. I selected Method:CRM after a great demo and conversation with their team. I loved the customization and the seamless integration with QuickBooks. The big giant, Salesforce was looming out there and was nowhere near competitive with pricing and features and benefits. The trial was also a great time period to use and explore the platform. A 30-day trial was the perfect timeframe. The others were all either seven or 14 days--not enough time to really get to know how a program will work with your organization. We have been using Method:CRM for about three months now, and it has helped make our estimates, and proposals more professional. We are going to migtate to the digital signature tool in FY21. All of their sales support staff are immensely qualified and very helpful.
- Brand customization
- Seamless integration with QuickBooks
- Contact/lead/opportunity tracking
- Customization takes a bit more effort on the user end than it needs to.
- The sync time of 10 minutes seems a bit long. Maybe add a manual sync button?
- Editable fonts within fields.

We use Method as the CRM for our sales team. It ties to our accountings QuickBooks. It helps us keep track of our customers, communication, and email campaigns.
- Shows all information, actives, opportunities and invoices all in one easy location.
- They make it very easy to create follow-up activity.
- Quick and easy customer care chat feature.
- Email campaign feature is simple and easy to use.
- Would like the ability to build more reports.
- IT would be helpful to be able to categorize items. We use it for our inventory and would help if we could group things together.

Method:CRM is used to store prospects, currents, and vendors all in one. Also, we use the software to create proposals, estimates, and invoices. The software helps our team to track information and more. Everyone uses the software for different things. The receptionist uses it to add leads or update information. The accountants uses the software to provide notes and proposals.
- Integration with QuickBooks
- The ability to provide activities about a contact
- The invoicing feature where it automatically creates an invoice
- Provides a rich client profile area
- The appearance is not that great; need improvements
- Not that easy to use as first user
- Lack of customization for user; need a consultant to provide customizations.

We are using Method:CRM across our organization. It provides us with the flexibility to create our own tools and systems that are user-friendly and able to constantly evolve with our business.
- Flexibility
- Customization
- Speed
- Ability for non-programmers to make small tweaks
- Buffer speed
- Would be nice to experience fewer outages (things have improved in the past couple of years)
Method:CRM is built to serve our needs intuitively and gives us great options to customize the platform to fit our very specific needs. Smart design, always improving and works right, very user friendly. We shopped around before Method and are very happy with our choice. Highly recommend.
- User friendly
- Great layout
- Smart design
- Customer service could be better
- It crashes at least once a week
With Method: CRM my colleagues and I are better equipped to manage customer relationships. It bridged the gap between the marketing and sales department. So when there is an update of a new offer the sales team receives a notification on their cell to promptly get the message out to existing customers and new prospective customers. Our efficiency has improved over 90% we've wasted hundreds of dollars trying out different tools. Method: CRM has a great business model so we were able to try them out for free be for we signed up.
- Method: CRM is the perfect solution you need if you want to effectively share thoughts through out your company.
- Stop wasting time doing receptive task this software has reduced redundancy with it's message automations.
- The powerful technology of Method: CRM exposed the truth to us about other expensive one-off bloated softwares with lots of unneeded features that we never ended up using.
- We have no complaints Method: CRM has improved the workflow in the company.
- All of the features are easy to use and with the 30day no obligation trial and hour consultation. We were really able to dig into all of its functionality with out any pressure of contracts while getting started.
- The live chat support is great I get all my questions answered vs spending hours of my time getting passed around over the phone.

Method:CRM is used across the company. The sales team uses it for lead tracking, the scheduling department uses it to schedule out technicians and equipment. The accounts receivable department uses it to generate work orders and invoices. Everything is managed through Method. It is used everyday and is what keeps the business moving smoothly.
- Methods integration team was very helpful in getting us set up.
- Their account management team is great at keeping in touch
- If you need something created, they have a highly skilled team to help it become a reality.
- The back end is a little confusing, especially if you are not in it every day.
- Better self help documents would be a plus.
- Having to switch/download different programs to generate or create reports or documents is not appealing.

It is a platform where you can build very simple or complex specific solutions for any issue or anywhere you are losing out because of lack of efficiency anywhere in your process. It can be used by any department or as a whole. You can decide by choosing what you want to create.
- Develop complex workarounds - if you can do it, the program can help.
- Will work for industries that software is not developed for, meat packing, etc.
- Tough questions can be answered with the help of Method's customizable platform.
- Very hard to understand what has to happen in order to get a screen or even a button working.
- You have to have a background in coding or web development for this to make any sense to you.
- They say that you can be green to the industry and be able to use the program to even 1/2 its ability, but that is not the case. Went to partner program training where I learned how involved making a solution actually function could become.
We attempted to use Method so that we could integrate our quoting, invoicing and payments into our accounting system. To work properly we needed some customization. After a couple of months trying to get sufficient Method consultants' time, spending twice their original estimate, paying license fees for a product where we did not receive a single customer payment, we were still left without a workable system. We moved to Zoho and were receiving payments from customers in two days.
We are still open to using Method as it purportedly solved a number of problems but they were simply unresponsive, slow, inaccurate and we never reached a workable product.

- If it works, integrating merchant account gateway, invoicing and quoting with accounting software and CRM would have been great. We never got there.
- Quoting is too simple and requires customization for even simple price structures.
- Consulting time to customize is intermittent and difficult to obtain.
- Estimates of the costs of customization were much less than 1/2 of the true cost (which we never finished because of these reasons).

Method CRM is ideal for companies that need to integrate their customer-facing employees with their back office and who have a challenge not met by other QuickBooks add-ons. Method is the most customizable CRM software and has the best interface with QuickBooks. With Method you can automate business processes and track unlimited amounts of information.
- Method allows you to enter data in QuickBooks from a web-based or mobile platform, with highly specific user permissions, which means your field employees have access to only the data they need without being in your QuickBooks file
- Method allows unlimited additional data fields, screen customizations, and extremely sophisticated automation of business processes, all of which allows you to design your own features
- With its API and SQL scripting, Method can pull data from outside sources and combine it with your QuickBooks information to provide processes unique to your business
- Even though Method has a suite of CRM and accounting features built in, because it is so completely customizable, businesses can get sucked in to extensive and expensive implementation projects. Method is best used when there is a unique challenge to solve, or when automation will produce cost-savings sufficient to outweigh the investment in customization.
- Method is browser-based on mobile devices, it doesn't run without an internet connection.
- Method's look and feel is database-centric unless screens are customized, however there is a new version of Method coming out in 2014 to address this.
