Feeling the love for your CRM? Company News by Val Riley February 11, 2022 February is a month of love. Sure, roses and chocolates are wonderful, but nothing makes the heart beat faster than revenue growth that comes when you use the right CRM. TrustRadius announced today that Insightly received a 2022 Most Loved Award. How are the awards determined? TrustRadius analyzed every review collected in 2021 word by word across 25,820 products and 800 categories. The most beloved products were determined by comparing mentions of “love” in all its (grammatical) forms to the total number of reviews received for each product. Just 101 products emerged from this process as the winners of TrustRadius’ 2022 Most Loved Award. These products earned the highest ratio of “love” per review across the entire TrustRadius platform. “Buyers have a lot of options to choose from when it comes to customer relationship management (CRM) software,” said Megan Headley, VP of Research at TrustRadius. “The right CRM can help businesses ensure they are able to provide a seamless customer experience. Insightly earned a Most Loved award based directly on feedback from their customers. It’s one of the most loved software products of 2022.” We’re blushing, but it got us wondering, what main qualities make a CRM worthy of love? Unification – Perhaps CRM love means you are using a unified platform where marketing, sales, customer service, and project management all come together with a shared database. Connections – Being able to integrate with all of the tools you already use, like Quickbooks, WordPress, Slack, and more without writing lines and lines of code could be the definition of CRM love. Service – Nothing feels more lonely than not having the support you need. Maybe a loveable CRM is one that provides extensive onboarding, ongoing email and phone support, and quarterly check-ins to make sure you’re getting the most from your CRM by using all of the newest and best features. So, we hit the proverbial streets to hear directly from Insightly users on what makes them love Insightly.
