It has several third-party integrations to operate your business from one place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although Nutshell boasts several great sales automation and reporting features, and has over 150 5-star reviews on Capterra, it isn\u2019t a one-size-fits-all solution. Nutshell\u2019s customization features are weaker than most CRMs, making it difficult to tailor to your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on our firsthand experience, the reason that customization is so important is that as your business evolves, so should your tools. You don\u2019t want the type of software you choose to determine your processes or limit your success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s why Method CRM is one of the most customizable CRMs on the market \u2014 unlimited personalization to support unlimited business growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"header3\">Method CRM vs. Nutshell<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main difference between Nutshell and Method CRM is that although they are both made for small and medium business sizes, they enhance your business in very different ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"573\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.method.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Comparison-Nutshell-1.png\" alt=\"A table comparing Method's and Nutshell's features\" class=\"wp-image-23052 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.method.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Comparison-Nutshell-1.png 940w, https:\/\/www.method.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Comparison-Nutshell-1-300x183.png 300w, https:\/\/www.method.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Comparison-Nutshell-1-768x468.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 940px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 940\/573;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s take a look at what each CRM solution has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"header4\">Method CRM overview<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"padding:56.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;\"><iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/913433287?badge=0&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;app_id=58479\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" title=\"Win more business with a QuickBooks CRM\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div><script src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/api\/player.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"inherit-container-width wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the #1 QuickBooks CRM, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.method.me\/\">Method<\/a> CRM improves the way that you work in your accounting software so it grows with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Method CRM\u2019s features automate your workflows, manage your customers, and help you deliver top customer service.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group m-section-thin m-bluebanner is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center simpletoc-hidden\" id=\"h-power-your-business-with-automation\">Power your business with automation.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons m-justified-center is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-3e41869c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button m-button cta-content\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/signup.method.me\/methodcrm\">Try for free<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"inherit-container-width wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"header5\">How Method CRM works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As per our expertise, Method\u2019s two-way QuickBooks and Xero sync is what sets this CRM apart from the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you update information in your accounting software, it automatically updates in Method and vice versa, giving your team the most up-to-date information for easy collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For email marketing, use Method\u2019s Email Campaigns app with email templates and performance analytics to connect with your prospects on a personal level. This way you strengthen your customer relationships without slowing down your sales process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As mentioned, Method\u2019s customization capabilities empower you to create your dream solution. You can go the DIY route or call on one of Method\u2019s customization experts to help you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This includes configuring self-serve customer portals that you can design exactly how you want, like adding trademarks or the logo of your organization, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All you have to do is provide your customers with a login link, and they can independently access your services and information on your products (i.e., training videos, FAQs, help resources, etc.). This gives your sales teams more time to focus on getting results and earning more revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Method\u2019s emphasis on personalization ensures a positive user experience as it gives your customers an added sense of security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond that, Method CRM gives you the ability to automate your repetitive and tedious tasks, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Lead collection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Estimates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Invoicing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Sales follow-ups.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Customer support.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Payment collection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, seamlessly merge Method CRM into your workflow by taking advantage of several third-party integrations with the tools you already use and love, such as Google Calendar, Outlook, and popular project management platforms.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group m-section-thin m-bluebanner is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center simpletoc-hidden\" id=\"h-power-your-business-with-automation\">Power your business with automation.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons m-justified-center is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-3e41869c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button m-button cta-content\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/signup.method.me\/methodcrm\">Try for free<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"inherit-container-width wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"header6\">Nutshell overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"666\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.method.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ScreenShotNutshell.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17400 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.method.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ScreenShotNutshell.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.method.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ScreenShotNutshell-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/www.method.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ScreenShotNutshell-1024x568.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.method.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ScreenShotNutshell-768x426.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1200px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1200\/666;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Image credit:&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/assets.website-files.com\/605a0726dd91886683451939\/60af1ab76bb729f7d3b079f7_Features_Reporting_Screenshots2021_Main-min.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Nutshell<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nutshell is known for its simple user interface that makes it easy to learn, so you can hit the ground running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use Nutshell to combine your sales processes and marketing activities into one system. As a result, it\u2019s easier to stay organized and save time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"header7\">How Nutshell works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our analysis of this product revealed that Nutshell\u2019s top feature is email marketing automation. They have a personal email sequence tool that allows you to create and schedule one-on-one sales drips to better capture each lead\u2019s attention through their email inbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After putting it to the test, Nutshell gives you the email features you\u2019d expect from a software solution, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Email templates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Custom email lists.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Email integrations with Constant Contact and Mailchimp.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Sync with Gmail and Office 365.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s more, Nutshell gives you ample data to measure how effective your emails are so that you\u2019re always following the best practices. Nutshell\u2019s top email analytics features include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Measuring the reply rates of your email sequences.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Seeing how many times each email has been viewed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">An email health counter that lets you know when you\u2019re sending too many emails.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond that, Nutshell offers the CRM features you expect, such as lead management tools and detailed dashboards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, it does fall short on certain aspects, such as customization. Full customization is possible on reports, but nothing else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"header8\">Comparing Method CRM and Nutshell<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With these two CRM options in mind, it\u2019s time for an in-depth comparison between Method CRM and Nutshell to determine the best solution for your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interested in comparing other CRMs such as Salesmate or Thryv?
