Best CM software?
56 RepliesJump to last post
I was provided different versions of Outlook, but they are suck,imo. Is Broker's Ally still the big dog?
I want an all-in-one that reminds me of stuff I need to do, so I want the pop-up feature that gives you the 10 folks you need to call each day, etc.......
Thanks..........
No system is perfect. The trick is to find a good one, like some of those cited above, and then have the discipline to stick with it and not use multiple lists or scraps of paper. It’s harder than it sounds until you build up good habits.
We’re using Goldmine, the newer 9.0 version. It’s pretty sweet, but for smaller gigs, ACT is ok too.

It's $50/month for up to 10+ users. It's pretty good (calendar, customer database, etc.)[quote=now_indy]www.redtailtechnology.com

Best part about it is it's web based.

[/quote] Yep, I forgot about the discount. The $50 rate is for LPL reps. We looked for quite a while for a CRM that could be shared amongst advisors and admin, and RedTail was the best (especially for the price). And yes, having it web based is very nice.
Thanksk for that Redtail link. Any small RIAs using Redtail, or a better online CM? How about Outlook?
Not many alternatives in this price range if you want online CRM. Upswing perhaps but they have yet to demonstrate dependibility over any length of time. Outlook is great but it's not a CRM.Thanksk for that Redtail link. Any small RIAs using Redtail, or a better online CM? How about Outlook?
I use RedTail on a daily basis and agree with Morphius’s earlier comments – I think for the price and considering it is web-based, very good system but they aren’t the only kid on the block. I’ve also used www.salesforce.com but when I compare RedTail against SalesForce – I believe RedTail is more intune with running a Financial Planning Practice but SalesForce did have a lot of neat features and some ability for customization.
I agree with Frederich that Salesforce is very powerful ASP CRM, but the last time I priced it the cost was about the same for each person as Redtail is for up to 10. Add in the cost of an industry specific overlay and it is considerably more expensive than Redtail.
I’m starting to like redtail’s product. Email is integrated as well as the marketinglibrary which has preapproved letters and email copy.
I supported Salesforce for a while before I was an FA, and as a sales software it seemed terrific. I can't say much about it in relation to financial services, but I remember thinking that I wished I had it when I was in previous sales positions. And, the support is pretty darn good .any opinions on salesforce.com??
