Can you tell us what you consider to be THE MAIN features / traits of a CRM that makes it good? Like 90% of it? We are building one now.
What we already have:
An app that is used by 100000+ active users to manage their contacts and put them into groups.
What we want to add:
Each Group would have a Tree of States
Each State would have (full HTML) Email Templates that you customize with our mobile editor
You would be able to send template emails from your phone and track email opens and link clicks, and get notifications.
Each “email open” or “link click” can move people into a new state, from 5a to 5b so to speak. Of course, primary states would have names.
You would also be able to place calls and take HTML notes on each contact, which can include images etc.
The CRM would let you see at a glance who is in what state in the pipeline (actually, a tree).
Also, business card scanning that saves contacts in bulk, then you categorize them based on Group
We may also, later, want to add other features, such as “countdown” graphics and other widgets to the templates, and tasks for teams.
Charging
In your experience, what would be a good market clearing price for such a CRM? You would be able to do everything from your PHONE, rather than having to go to your computer. Do you know of a CRM like this? Or even an app that an track email opens? I only know NewtonMail maybe.
I was thinking of charging $20, $50 and $100 a month plans, for 200 emails, 1000 emails or 10,000 emails per month, respectively.
