- Leads are responded to 24/7 and nurtured for 365 days.

Awesome and Easy to Use CRM!
I've used a few CRM software in the past, but one is not only easy to use, it offers extra tools for marketing, which I love. Plus, the mobile app allows you to stay connected anywhere you go.
review
My only concern at the moment, is that notifications aren't consistent. I have my preferences set for push notifications to my phone from the app but I will log in on my computer, I will have a bunch of notifications that never came up on my phone.
Great system for keeping up with leads!
I've tried other systems before. None really synched leads and communication with leads so seamlessly. Definitely love using the program. Would highly recommend this to my fellow agents.
Best Thing since sliced bread
This system is all I ever could want. It is well thought out and user friendly. The training is good and the support staff is stellar. I have always had a quick response to questions and the answers make sense for a non-technological person. I like that the program continues to grow and improve.
Boomtown
Boomtown is amazing and keeps me organized. My favorite part is the To-Dos. Reminds me to follow up with clients!
Great program
Great organization program. I only wish there was a feature to delete leads that are proven to be not usable as incorrect phone number, unable to contact, incorrect information.
Very helpful and enjoyable as a CRM. I...
Very helpful and enjoyable as a CRM. I like it for organization and reminder to-do's along with social media help.
Still Needs Some Improvements
As a CRM, this works well, but I am disappointed that the search criteria are "ands" and not "ors". For example, I can't check Gulf Front and Bayou Front for terms in one search. It's looking for a home that is both, when I mean either would work. So I set up 2 separate searches. This is a long running problem and doesn't seem to be a fix coming soon.
Good
I like Boomtown but would LOVE it if there was an easy way to import contacts to iPhone.
enjoy it!
I very much enjoy it as A CRM. I wish it linked with Tom Ferry. I also wish I could purchase leads as an individual agent.
