Slow, Cumbersome, and Lacks Intuitive Customization
- This has been a huge time waster for our team.
- Load times are at least 3 times as long as they used to be.
- Our workflows can not be as efficient as they used to be so we spend more time doing manual tasks.
- More things have to be pushed through our ops team instead of being able to do them ourselves, which creates significant roadblocks.

Lightning Fast With Thunderous Analytics!
- ROI - It allows us to handle billing and see if the client is being charged the correct amount so our books stay balanced.
- Communication - It allows for all of our workers to see the notes of previous representatives so that no one is in the dark when re-engaging.
- A negative would be that it is difficult to merge marketing initiatives, so unless someone uploads the Excel sheet of leads into the system (which is easier said than done) there could be duplications of effort.

Salesforce has everything we need to manage our clients
- Since using opportunities, we've managed to track our retention rate and increase it.

- Our production team manages their entire pipeline through Salesforce. They couldn't do their job with SF.
