We use Method:CRM to take notes, record opportunities, create tasks, follow our campaigns, track emails, and create estimates and invoices that are linked to QuickBooks.
  • Method:CRM is a great tool we use to track our opportunities.
  • Method:CRM allows our salespeople and CSRs to assign tasks and enter notes.
  • Method:CRM allows users to create custom fields and drop down menus for information.
  • Method:CRM could improve its ability to create reports and searches based on custom fields.
  • Method:CRM could improve its email templates to make them more user friendly.
  • Method:CRM could improve custom reporting.
  • Method:CRM could make it easier to complete a mass change on a single field without having to export and import the information.
Method:CRM is appropriate for any business that has mutiple users working with customer and lead information. It is well suited to keep records and long-term information that is available to all users within an organization. Method:CRM is less appropriate if it was only going to be used to monitor email campaigns instead of customer and lead interactions.

  • We were able to recognize a ROI within the first 6 months to a year of using this program.
  • Method:CRM records interactions from emails too with the add-on. This saves time creating new contacts.
  • Method:CRM allows us to more accurately track our lead sources.
Method communicates with QuickBooks better than Salesforce did. Method also provides better tools for notes and opportunities than Business Central or ACT!

You do not need to have a lot of training or skills to support Method CRM. There are halpful instructions and a very helpful customer service department to answer questions about anything you need.
  • Lead Management
  • Opportunity Management
  • Estimates
  • Invoices
  • We are able to create cases for instances when there is an issue with either shipping or material.
  • We have been able to send out emails to customers directly from Method CRM and record that information as an activity.
  • We would like to use Method for more campaign management.
We have tried other CRM software, but Method has a lot of great features at a decent cost.

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.
Suited very well for someone who needs a unique customer relationship management system. Or for someone in an industry that today's software developers are slow to accommodate. You have to have the time to be set aside to get the program up and running without any issues though. There is so much you can do, just get in there and find out if you can!

  • There was no ROI we spent so long trying to learn the program we figured there is no profit.
  • Went to partner program and the material they were covering was just monstrous & very intimidating.
  • If you have no background in this type of thing you have no business.
  • Took me better part of an hour to get a functioning back button placed on a screen.

I was not a part of the selection process of Method:CRM but I was part of the decision to cancel the service and I was a part of the decision-making group that found the alternative solution to what Method was doing for us. The thing that set the others apart from Method was the ease of use. I did not have to spend a plethora of time teaching staff about the program. With Method, it took a very long time to get an employee up to speed within it and there was no way I could teach them how to develop solutions for clients within it.
