Three Letters Your Small Business Should Know
Dear Small Business,
If you don’t know what a contact management system is, allow us to introduce you to your new best friend.
Sincerely,
Flourish Media
A contact management software organizes and manages contacts, sales pipelines and sends automated emails. #MindBlown You may have already been using this software and not realizing it’s magical powers or you’re quite aware of it and curse the day it was born. As the saying goes “ All good things must come to an end” holds true to CMS’s, there’s always a positive and negative side to every story.
PROS:
-Organized
-Efficient
-Scheduling
-Enables automation of tasks
-Data entry can be automated
CONS:
-Only works if it’s properly set up
-A HUGE waste of time if used incorrectly
-You have to double, triple check your work before scheduling
-Once it’s been scheduled, you can’t replace it
The cons are a little alarming but if you put in the work to learn how to efficiently use these softwares, believe us -- you’ll be singing their praises. A great CMS tool to use for your small business is Mailchimp. They’ve been around since 2001 and totally get your frustrations. Plus their super user friendly and have great customer support!
