Likelihood to Recommend
Maximizer CRM is a great tool for customer relationship management. I would like to see more integration with other CRM programs to allow existing data to be easily imported. I would like to see an expanded calendar with better visibility to different users. For the price, it is a very powerful tool that we use daily.

Method[:CRM] is well suited when you have a large company that needs to keep track of customers. It also connects with Quickbooks and that has really been nice for our organization. Our company is small so this really helps us stay on track and build our data base of customers.

Pros
  • Their sales team is engaging
Read full review
  • The customization team is brilliant!
  • The various integrations, QBO & Gmail, help me keep track of all customer interactions.
  • The more organized I am, the more time I have to take care of my clients!
  • I have nothing but praise for the support team and the rest of the crew at Method.

Cons
  • The integration into email could be smoother
  • It is could use a better database for tracking installed equipment
  • The import of contacts is clunky
Read full review
  • I believe there is room for improvement with scaling down on the customizing (sometimes having too much isn't always a good thing)
  • The estimate creator in Method is not as fluid as making an estimate in QB. (moving lines around, adding lines, etc.)

We are heavily entrenched in Maximizer and trying to pull our data out and into another CRM, with the same amount of customization and workflow would take a lot of effort.

The things Method does well - QuickBooks data integration and extreme customization - it does very, very well. If you are looking for a CRM product or any business process automation software that integrates with QuickBooks, you have to look at Method CRM

Usability
The CRM didn’t have the capability I expected

I'm fairly new to the company and have only been using Method for the last year and the ease of use has been a blessing for me. I've self trained on most of the aspects and have incorporated new operations in the company, based on what Method has to offer, that have enhanced the productivity for all associates.

Support Rating
The support staff are very knowledgeable and competent. Never really had an issue with them not knowing what they are doing.

The support is great. They are on the line within minutes and share screen to figure out the problem immediately. I would highly recommend this product for that reason. I do wish the customization was a bit easier to use; however, with fewer settings that are available to the end user and an easier way to read the customization.

Be available to learn! There is a huge learning curve to this program. You have to be willing to take it all in. Be available to the Method expert and be patient.

Alternatives Considered
I’d definitely rate them the lowest, simply for the fact that their final interactions with me were far from professional. I was genuinely stunned at [what seemed to me like] this company’s arrogance and unwillingness to look at my issues from my company’s perspective. Over a little money, they made a dissatisfied customer out of me.

We were using QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise for a very long time. However, the software is archaic and dated. Method allows us to step into the 21st century. We now have much more online / automated interactions with our customers. We like that Method also lets us customize a great deal of the software to our exact needs and wants

Return on Investment
  • Worth it for the money you put in.
  • Though there are more popular CRM's, they all come with a high cost for something we actually don't use much.
  • Maximizer should collaborate with more products.

  • Method:CRM has probably saved me about 6-10 hours per week over the past few years.
  • It has likely saved our company several hundred hours in the last 10 years.
  • It has specifically saved us countless hours with better data management vs. having separate spreadsheets for keeping track of things.
