I currently use Method:CRM as a CRM for my freelancing business. It helps me keep track of prospect and client interactions, it connects to QuickBooks Online, and it helps with documentation management with my clients. It helps with visualizing the sales pipeline and there's even a portal for my clients to view their estimates, invoices, receipts, and more!

Method:CRM is a amazing customizable software with seamless QuickBooks Sync and tons of integrations. Its customizability is the number one reason that I chose this software to be used by my company for our specific workflows, tracking capabilities, and field services regulation that we were desperately needing. Before choosing Method:CRM we were very much behind in the digital age of CRM and had way to many folders and non user friendly systems that we just tolerated versus Method:CRM that works for us how we need it, when we need it. To put it frankly we as a whole were outdated. Method:CRM changed that for us. We are now more efficient, fast and effective and keeping up with the digital age. From being able to manage our customers, contacts, and vendors in one place. The ease of use of the client portal to not only make a case with us, but update their own information whenever something changes, and to pay there bill, without wasting paper or using gas to collect a payment has been a game changer. As well as the Email Campaigns app has been of so much value. The other thing that I will say that I love about Method:CRM is the help center and customer service is phenomenal. If I have a question or need help Method Customer service is right there responding to my question in 5 minutes or less.

Method:CRM provides both CRM and ERP functions for our school. It manages a database of our customers, which consists of families--the parents and their children who take music lessons at our school. It tracks lessons: their time, location, the teacher, and student. It interfaces with Quickbooks and is used to deliver invoices and other information to our customers.

We needed a solution for allowing customers to add themselves to our Quickbooks Online using and Online Form. The implementation works well, we can now email customers a link to a web form so they can add themselves. Saves us a great deal of time, also this prevents input errors we have from time to time trying to hear the customer over the phone.

At our company, we use methods to keep track of all the potential customers that we get. We get website inquiries, leads from multiple other businesses, incoming emails, walk-ins, and phone calls. We use it for our front office staff only, as our technicians in the back have their own work order system that has been implemented with our company for years now. Where we would usually just take notes on notepads, with Method we now have a completely separate work order system for potential sales. This has been a great addition to keep all our offices in the loop. We've been able to follow up on potential sales together instead of having to take time out to figure out who talked to who and what it was about.

Method is used by our organization for building client's orders from estimate status to completion. We also house our contacts in the Method database and keep current activities in relation to customers in each account. I enjoy the ease of accessing client information along with totality of client history that is easily accessible.

I am currently using Method to manage onboarding tasks for new clients. We have approximately 60 steps in various software integrations and in order to ensure everything is completed in a timely fashion for each client, we keep track of the completed activities as well as those still to be done. Once I've completed building out this process, I will use Method to keep track of the recurring client activities across the company. We will be expanding rapidly, and having solid systems in place is the only way to ensure we have world-class customer satisfaction.

Method:CRM has been absolutely fantastic to use! I can see all the activities and opportunities active and it is an easier way to keep everyone updated with what is happening every day. Also, a very great tool is that you can import a database from excel and use it for your contacts in Method:CRM.

We use Method:CRM for payments, leads, and CRM management. It addresses our business problems of crossover between sales reps as well as not having our calendar handy. The way it syncs to Google Calendar is very convenient. I also enjoy being able to access the payments portion and how well it syncs with our QuickBooks.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Failed to work

Score 1 out of 10
Vetted Review

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.

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.

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.
