How CRMs can spark (or continue) fast growth
Tech and business writer Rashan Dixon mentions Less Annoying CRM in his article on growth-minded CRMs: "Let’s face it: There’s nothing fun about business software.

Small business users simply don’t have time to explore “what if” scenarios or wait for help from IT.... Less Annoying CRM does have a nice selection of small business-focused features, such as a team calendar and hands-off backups and updates. Plus, it’s far less expensive than the other options on this list, at a $10 per user per month price point, with no long-term contracts required."

'In St. Louis, I’ve been able to engage with others in a far more authentic way than I did in any setting in D.C. — and as a result, each of the two jobs I’ve had since moving here have come from networking locally.'”
