I wish this thread would have taken on more life but I know we talk a lot about CRM's here on DealerRefresh. But I love it when [USER=9105]@JuliePetree[/USER] speaks up and communicates with the community ;-)


[USER=60]@Shawn Morse[/USER] - Momentum has come a LONG way since I first used it 10+ years ago. At the time it was more of a Service CRM.


Ironically I had to sit through a "Dealerbuilt DMS / DESKING / CRM" DEMO today. Dealerbuilt has basically partnered with Momentum to be their CMR. I'm not sure of all the ties. I don't really care. After sitting through the DEMO, I asked ONE question and the answer made me stand up, thank them for their time and exit the room.


That question being -- does the Desking Tool TALK to the CRM? The answer was NO.


I looked at the GSM of our Toyota dealer and said "If your desking tool doesn't reside within of the CRM, your sales managers will NEVER use the CRM." IMO I just wasted an hour of my freaking time.
