Perfectionism Sucks. Seriously. it’s the enemy of anything. The ability to make a decision, to have things ABOUT right is pretty important. Right now, I’m without a CRM, mostly because I’ve been toying with Heap, Highrise, Act 6 and Daylite.
I’ve been trying to predict what I want to do when I grow up, and the fact that I don’t have anything other than Aweber driving automation is holding me back. My list still is good. I still can email and expect a response, but every marketing idea is isolated,it’s in a one off.
And I’ve said that I’ll have a CRM that I’ll adopt for some time. I’m enamored with Heap CRM. I pay $14 bucks a month as an ode to Ben’s genius. I’m also enamored with ACT! 6.0. No other versions, they all suck. ACT 6 is the solo warrior’s best friend–except that it is a PC program and even OPENING the email component makes my mac FUBAR.
The prbolem is that I have nothing, it’s hemming me in. In Geddy’s immortal words: I have chosen not to decide, and thus have made a choice. So, Sunday morning, I’m going to worship at the Church of CRM and make a decision by noon and spend the rest of the time implimenting it.
You can waste time shopping, or you can F#!@%ing get something done. Nothing is perfect. All of my choices sort of have limitaitons that I hate, from having to use the damn mouse for too much (Heap) to lack of activity series (highrise) to being forced to be on a PC (ACT!). But the fact that I have nothing is fierecely stupid. I have aweber. And for those of you on one of my lists, hi there.
I love heap, I want to like it, but it’s such a drag to use the mouse. Seriously, it limits radically the people that will become customers. I’m not into slowing down, I’m not into mousing around, I want to hit ALT-C. Whatever.
Any CRM people have suggestions? Do I need to get my own made, adopt sugar?
Getting ANYTHING decided is important.
So it’ll either be DAYLITE or HEAP. I suspect Daylite CRM even though I never got to use it during my 30 Day Trial.. If I was using it, I’d know who I was supposed to call back today. As it is, if I’ve left you out and you’re not in the process forgive me.
