Comments on: CRM Review: Heap CRM: You’re the One That I Want http://genuinechris.com/crm-review-heap-crm-youre-the-one-that-i-want/ Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:56:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Tony Mobily http://genuinechris.com/crm-review-heap-crm-youre-the-one-that-i-want/#comment-3553 Tony Mobily Mon, 13 Jun 2011 10:45:39 +0000 http://genuinechris.com/2008/02/18/crm-review-heap-crm-youre-the-one-that-i-want/#comment-3553 Hi, Disclaimer: I work for Applicom. However, if I can give my (biased) 2c, project management and CRM should be tied together. We developed Apollo, http://www.apollohq.com with this in mind. We implemented a powerful calendar, timers, etc. We could have spent the same amount of resources developing a _very_ complete CRM. However, as I said at the beginning, having CRM + project management together makes a difference. Or, at least that's what we think! Merc. Hi,

I have gone basically through a similar road with CRM's. I was an ACT! user since the early 1990's but as you said, it went downhill and they stopped making it for Mac's. Then I went hunting with no satisfying results. Now I will try Heap. I will let you know. Thanks, Nigel I loved this article… I have gone basically through a similar road with CRM’s.

It doesn't seem to have a field for customer birthdates. I can add a custom field, but then I don't know if it's easy to search for all birthdays for a specific month. Do you have any thoughts?

Although their email campaign is slick. You can set up a campaign which automatically sends designated emails at different intervals. I can't seem to find if Heap is able to do the same thing. Thanks again for the review ... John Chris, I totally agree in regards to Etelos, it’s a bit rough. Although their email campaign is slick.

Thanks again for the review … John

You are dead on in your evaluations! Each of your observations is essentially what I have in my notes. And the best? Last night at about 10pm I discovered Heap, and like you, almost immediately I was liking it. The UI could sure use some lipstick, but ease of use coupled with Google integration was the kicker for me. However I was more impressed with Highrise than you I think. I really like the "cases" and "deals" fucntionality. Great post! Great blog! Chris,
