Lead management services are usually quite complicated. In fact, I probably have ten neglected accounts out on the interwebs from my attempts of finding a simple, straight-forward CRM or lead management system. Thankfully, I ran across Stride when they launched their website beta a few years ago and recently stumbled across their free iOS app. In a few short words, it’s “spectacularly simple”.
I spoke with Stride’s Kevin Chau about the company’s mission and how they’re tackling the CRM world. It’s quite obvious that their go-simple-or-go-home approach extends to every part of the application:
After spending some time manage leads with the application, I’ve found that it’s nice to be able to add tasks or update the status of a lead with just a few taps rather than waiting to get to a desktop browser. Plus, everything syncs seamlessly with strideapp.com (not using iCloud, so it’s actually reliable – zing!) for managing the information on a browser.
If you currently manage your leads on paper, don’t track leads at all, or you are simply tired of your current CRM system, give the Stride iOS app a shot! The app itself is free with an account. Their pricing starts at $12/month or they have a free plan if you want to manage less than 5 deals a month.
