In operation for over 20 years, their strategic location in a central hub allows them to supply all over the Caribbean.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They supply a variety of items, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Home furniture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Commercial chairs and tables.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Fans and generators.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They sell and distribute third-party brands such as FlexSeal in Puerto Rico but also have their own in-house brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"meet-eric-a-man-on-the-hunt-for-a-crm-he-could-make-his-own\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meet Eric \u2014 A man on the hunt for a CRM he could make his own<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eric Crescioni is the Director of Information Technology at Reliable Trading and was one of the main proponents of implementing a CRM at the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He joined the company in 2016 in sales, where he first recognized the need for a system to better organize the company\u2019s customer service and management processes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before Eric started at the company, Reliable Trading wasn\u2019t using a CRM. They had been using QuickBooks Desktop which had fewer integrations and was difficult to develop on top of.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He knew implementing a CRM would come with a few growing pains, but for their industry, the tradeoff was worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><em><em>\u201cWe were close to developing our own CRM before finding Method.\u201d<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n<cite>\u2014 <em><em>Eric Crescioni, 202<\/em><\/em>2<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"the-crm-search-begins\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The CRM search begins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prior to using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.method.me\/\">Method<\/a>, Reliable Trading considered using Salesforce.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, they did a free trial of Salesforce right before they did a free trial of Method. In the end, Salesforce didn\u2019t meet the company\u2019s needs to the same extent that Method did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cWe did a trial with Salesforce, then a trial with Method.

Method\u2019s support: A helping hand at every point <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, Eric and the rest of Reliable Trading had a negative experience with Salesforce, who didn\u2019t provide the company with the level of assistance they needed and required a third-party tool to enable to-way sync with QuickBooks Desktop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eric suspects that this is due to the size of the Salesforce, but found it disheartening that they couldn\u2019t rely on their support as new customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><em>\u201cSometimes when the size is bigger, the noise is bigger too.\u201d<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n<cite><em>\u2014 <em><em>Eric Crescioni, 202<\/em><\/em><\/em>2<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In contrast, Method offers live support and one-on-one training to ensure that your onboarding goes smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plus, Method has a team of consultants ready to help people like Eric personalize Method to their liking.

The ability to make Method your own<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a developer, Eric\u2019s favorite part of Method is the unlimited customization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.method.me\/features\/api\/\">CRM with an API<\/a>&nbsp;was a big plus when it came to connecting the software Reliable Trading uses every day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An API (application programming interference) is a set of programming protocols and tools that allows your CRM to interact with other software programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eric implemented Method\u2019s API and never looked back, using it to build systems that simplified Reliable Trading\u2019s operations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s more, Reliable Trading customized Method to replicate a QuickBooks Advanced pricing module to mimic the same price levels in Method from QuickBooks. They continue to use it as a source of truth for the rest of the applications they build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><em><em>\u201cIn theory, we\u2019re using Method sync as the main sync for our in-house applications.\u201d<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n<cite><em>\u2014 <em><em>Eric Crescioni, 202<\/em><\/em><\/em>2<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"3-twoway-sync-with-quickbooks\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

Reliable Trading used a third-party service that cost more or required a significant time commitment \u2014 which in most cases wasn\u2019t worth the effort.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They started using Method to sync their items and products in an external database outside of QuickBooks so that they could use their in-house API. This had a positive impact on their sales and pricing workflows.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a wholesale and distribution company, pricing is tricky for Reliable Trading. Essentially, each customer can have different prices, which is a lot of data to keep track of.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prior to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.method.me\/\">Method<\/a>, sales reps had to contact the office for price lists every day or access it from a shared drive. This meant that they were constantly updating Excel spreadsheets for price lists. Method\u2019s two-way sync allowed Reliable Trading to have one source for all of their up-to-date data.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to Method\u2019s automatic QuickBooks sync and mobile app, Reliable Trading\u2019s sales reps could now look for prices and get customer information on the go without having to contact the office.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><em><em><em>\u201cSalesforce didn\u2019t have anything of this caliber at this price available to us.\u201d<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n<cite><em>\u2014 <em><em>Eric Crescioni, 202<\/em><\/em><\/em>2<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"tangible-results-automation-drives-efficiency-and-a-better-bottom-line\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tangible results: Automation drives efficiency and a better bottom line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Method played a key role in optimizing Reliable Trading\u2019s workflows. As a result, Eric estimates a reduction in hours of 55%, or about 243 hours a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reliable Trading allocates these extra hours to more productive tasks that grow the business, such as sales and analytics, and can now provide additional services to their customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><em><em><em><em>\u201cIt\u2019s hard to conclude how much of our time savings come from more efficient workflows vs. Method, but these workflows are made possible because of Method.\u201d<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n<cite><em>\u2014 <em><em>Eric Crescioni, 202<\/em><\/em><\/em>2<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"final-words-of-advice-get-a-crm-that-mirrors-your-way-of-working\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final words of advice: Get a CRM that mirrors your way of working<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eric thinks that having customized Method right away was a significant part of Reliable Trading\u2019s success with the CRM, and recommends that other businesses do the same.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He thinks it\u2019s important to take the time to initially understand the needs of your company.
