For those of us using CRM platforms, which are you using and what’s been your experience so far?

My team uses HubSpot and I love that system. Works perfectly for what we do. Customer Service is good as well but could be a bit better as well. All and all, I’d recommend it to everyone.

HubSpot here as well, I'm a huge fan. Super easy to use and does everything we need it to. I'm really glad we went with it instead of SalesForce, all my friends who use it seem to gripe about it constantly.

I can’t STAND Salesforce and sadly we have to use it as our database because it’s used across the organization. I detest that platform more than anything else in my career.

Zoho crm, which comparatively to others I’ve used, felt like a huge step backwards, really isn’t bad though. I went to a much smaller company so a lot of things aren’t quite as ‘fancy’ as I knew them to be. Overall though it is user friendly and I’m told it's a whole lot cheaper then other things on the market.

Why would you consider it a step backward? What functionality is missing in the new platform?

I’ve heard great things about Hubspot. I was personally using Zoho for a bit but never really loved it. I’m currently in the hunt for a replacement and nearly everyone I’ve asked keeps pointing me right back to Hubspot.

How do y’all deal with people at work who are stuck on stupid? Like they have no idea what they’re talking about and they REFUSE to learn. It’s like they have a god complex or something even with proof, maybe bc of their tenure at the company? Even if there’s valid data backing up that they’re wrong. Maybe it’s bc I’m a type 8 enneagram, but it frustrates the hell out of me!
So any advice would be lovely :)

My dad who lives in Asia just announced that he had a medical issue. I’m starting to enter the age where I’m going to take care of him financially. It’s a $2,000 hospital bill which in the US is nothing compared to what it represents there (which he can’t afford). He’s going to be fine!
