Notes:
Contactually has several incredibly useful features & it’s actually my favorite CRM tool to recommend to service-based business owners. Here’s why:
- Built in email templates let you check in with colleagues on a regular basis or with previous customers/clients without having to reinvent the wheel every time
- There’s also nifty features for sharing content (which you can save with a bookmarklet) or doing introductions (which I’ve done a few times & it works well)
- You can set different follow up times for different buckets; for example, two weeks for leads, 30 days for customers, 60 days for previous clients
- Pulls information from email, Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn so that you can see where and when you last interacted, and what was said
- Gives you follow up suggestions based on your bucket rules
- Several different integrations including Do, Salesforce, and Mailchimp
- Robust search tools let you search by bucket, tag, location or more options
- …and then you can send messages to several people at once, while still customizing them for each individual person
- I just found out about the new Programs feature which looks amazing and like it has a lot of potential – I didn’t feature it in the video but I’m definitely going to be looking at it more!
Price: Starts at $20/month/user, goes up to $100/month/user (I’m on the medium plan which is $40/month/user), all with free trials; there’s also a basic free plan
Apps: Web, iPhone, Android
