User Testimonials
	Empower	Less Annoying CRM
Likelihood to Recommend	It is well suited for mid- to large enterprises, whereas it might be overwhelming for small organizations with fewer headcounts to manage. Overall, it's a good tool for employee profile management. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Less Annoying CRM is an excellent system for us as we log everything we do with a customer and has easy access to the imfromation later. May sound "of course" but this is by far the easiest CRM I've ever worked with during my 30 years in sales. Follow-up and scheduling is easy managable as well as designing forms and fields our selves. Less Annoying CRM has a good list of plug'ins to other software for integrational puposes. Most important to us is support when needed. Less Annoying CRM excels in its support. Don't hesitate, it doesn't do everything, but get started and get surprised Henrik Kjellberg Sales Director Read full review
Pros	Keep track of all our employee's 401K accounts They take care of all notices for account holders They take care of all tasks in a timely manner. Incentivized LG LAURIE GRZEJKA Payroll Manager / HR Read full review	Simple, intuitive usage Daily agenda emails Ease of moving calendar / action items around, closing out Customer service is extremely responsive, they don't hide behind a "contact us" form on their website as so many companies seem to do. You can readily reach them by phone! Kevin Kalbac Agency Sales Manager Read full review
Cons	Sometimes the tiles are removed automatically or stop working. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	The one thing I was looking for is a place to manage multiple businesses with one project. Like if I am selling a "summer camp guide," I would like to have info for sales in one place with multiple contacts and businesses. LACRM customer service provided a workaround for me by suggesting I set up a specific pipeline for each project and them put each business in there. It is working great and, actually, a much better way to manage the project than I have originally intended. I really don't have anything else to add. LACRM is perfect for us. Jenny Steadman Publisher/Owner Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	We have had no problems and will stay with Empower for our 401k needs. Incentivized LG LAURIE GRZEJKA Payroll Manager / HR Read full review	Excellent product which meets my needs of a complex industry W. Pierce Johnson Owner Read full review
Usability	Employees can log in and access their 401k accounts. They can make changes, check their balance or take out loans, with confidentiality. I give it an 8 because it takes 10 days to 2 weeks for those changes to get to me (the administrator) so I can make the necessary changes to their payroll profiles. I think a 5 day waiting period would be more reasonable. Incentivized LG LAURIE GRZEJKA Payroll Manager / HR Read full review	I knew nothing about CRMs, and within a day of purchasing Less Annoying CRM, I was able to set up my contacts list with custom fields. After a brief call to Customer Service, I was able to set up my first pipelines and understand how to use them. This CRM is so simple to use, and extremely versatile. Incentivized Carolyn Cates Songwriter Read full review
Support Rating	Had a past participant from 20 years ago, receive a letter from the government saying they might have a retirement account. Empower helped this employee and I didn't have to play detective concerning this person. They back tracked to Merrill Lynch to find this former participant and help her. I was impressed. Incentivized LG LAURIE GRZEJKA Payroll Manager / HR Read full review	Customer support is fantastic with these guys, they’re always very prompt to answer, and the team is very personable and easy to work with. I can’t really say much more than that, my interactions have been fairly limited, but what interactions I had, I can see without a shadow of a doubt they were very enjoyable and swift in resolving my issues. Lafayette SIlva National Operations Manager Read full review
Implementation Rating	No answers on this topic	After explaining that I was moving from Salesforce and the problems I was encountering, they took over and implemented the data in such a quick and efficient way, I was looking for the other shoe to drop but they did an amazing job so very impressed W. Pierce Johnson Owner Read full review
Alternatives Considered	It stood out when compared for features, legacy, customer support, and on-premises deployment. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Less Annoying CRM is so much easier to use and is at least as powerful if not more in the areas that matter to me as a small business owner. The way you do things in Less Annoying CRM are the ways that common sense would dictate you do them. It doesn't overcomplicate things to show how smart the engineers that designed it were. Dennis Hennessy President Read full review
Return on Investment	It has improved employee experience and is a good tool for management to track things. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Not just storage of information, but utilizing that information to build stronger relationships with clients Because it's web-based, we can be at our desk or on the road and still have the full functionality of the CRM at our fingertips, which helps us keep focusing on sales!
