For context, I was looking at CRMs for clients and thought I’d found the best CRM for my needs in a flashy, expensive CRM that did everything including walking your dog and making your breakfast. It wasn’t until I’d dived into the software that I found it didn’t fit my style and visibility needs. Too many clicks around to find information. To make a long story shorter, I ended up trialling OnePageCRM, even though I found the design slightly dated (mainly the colours and bold heading fonts #picky). Once I signed up, I actually found it versatile, clear and simple yet customisable. I’m still using it today for my sales pipeline!
As per most software programs, I got an outreach email from the founder. These can sometimes come from the area manager or the head of customer support and they’re either slightly pushy (join a webinar this week) or slightly deceptive (I”m personally reaching out to you…when it’s clearly automated) or just easy to delete. The one I received from Michael at OnePageCRM was the best I’ve received and I’ll explain why after:

And ok, this is an automated email, but if you reply it comes directly to me and will be answered by me.

I feel your pain on this one. Although it’s become so much easier to create and send out email newsletters using tools like Mailchimp, Mailmunch, Convertkit and Drip, it’s still quite fiddly to look through all the specs, work out the pricing (do I pay per list or per subscriber?) and then look at the …
