Looking for a CRM with editable fields that can flag followups like Outlook does.

[RoshaBeli]

Hello, I am looking for a CRM that will allow me to transfer my lead book of several thousand paper leads into a well oiled system. In doing sales with other companies (B2B) I found Outlook to be a very strong tool. With leads that are B2C, I have not found that to be the case as the information I need is simply different and tedious to enter it all in the notes section.

Can anyone let me know a CRM (doesn't have to be free) that will allow me to enter fields like name, address, phone, seminar attended, lead source etc...?

Hi @RoshaBeli,

From your short description, it seems as though manual data entry may be a huge deterrent for you. Custom properties may help with this. There are also many tools available to assist in scanning and uploading information from paper to digital. I personally don't think CRM choice is the issue here, whereas process analysis and tool management can make all the difference.

I have certain inquiry sources with specific header names that I then workflow to copy to main properties to assist in regular imports and this saves lots of time.

I am happy to sign an NDA and do a brief virtual call and give you my advice. If you are looking for definitive advice in this section, please advise on what a "well-oiled system" means to you, your specific issues with importing into HubSpot, if you are utilizing custom properties, import experience, etc.

Hi @RoshaBeli ,
HubSpot is a very robust CRM that offers so much that it is hard to explain here. 
I beleive here you want to import all your data into a CRM with the notes too. You can import your contacts with the notes with import tool. Check SS here: https://prnt.sc/1sxlzil.
You will find lots of default properties like Name, Email, Phone no and we ll as you can create custom properties that suits your need. Checj this article: How you can create and manage Custom Properties in HubSpot (webdew.com).

Hope this helps!
