Looking for CRM Recommendations...

Hello all,

Relatively new to SearchFunder and looking to learn a bit more on the different CRM systems people have used (and had success with). I have some prior Salesforce experience, and wouldn't need a CRM quite to that degree. Looking for a cost-effective and reliable CRM that can handle simple email outreach and activity tracking. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

As others have said, HubSpot is a good option for most searchers. There are slightly cheaper options available, but the problem is the budget options don't scale very well, so you may be setting yourself up to replace it all over again in a year. HubSpot is a lot cheaper than salesforce but can handle both marketing and sales automation till quite a respectable scale. I'd be happy to connect offline to talk about it further if useful.
