We interviewed five different CRM companies – many of the biggest names in that industry – no option was cost-prohibitive… we were looking for the best option to help our team. We went with BuddyCRM simply because of the value that they would be bringing to our company, and because they made it clear they would be there at the beginning of the process, during the development process, AND once we started using the system. They’ve been there every step of the way.

 If you’re looking for an easy to use & intuitive CRM platform that is customisable; as well as great customer support BuddyCRM are the folks you need to do business with. The team at BuddyCRM have proven to us that they are invested in our company’s success.
