1. I have no peeps.
2. I have no business or vision for one
3. Isn't my yellow legal pad a CRM?
4. What's a CRM?
There are many VERY GOOD CRM that are literally FREE.
I don't have a radial arm cut off saw. Why? I have been able to do all that I need to do without one. Get the point?

I use a CRM however not the type of CRM that most feel only qualify as a CRM.
I do not need to pay for a CRM when I use Outlook. That combined with my own system works perfectly for me.

unless you have a steady flow of business and subdivisions, you should use a CRM....

No idea... I've used one for 20 years. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven when I first heard of a Top Producer 20 years ago. The $35/month is small potatoes to be organized.

Dario Ferreira It depends on how many people in your data base. An Excel worksheet might work well for a few contacts.

In my opinion, those that don't use it, typically don't know what they are missing (and the business they are losing). But, then again, there are those who use them, but incorrectly.

You can start with a spiral notebook or 3x5 index cards. Build a list. Eventually you can look at a crm.

hard to imagine not having a CRM... sort of like not having a cell phone ... makes the job that much more difficult

Just two of us on the team. SOP and word of the mouth is ia the most reliable way to get leads.

Thanks for all the serious responses so far.
It seems the reason most given so far, is not enough business to justify it - makes sense.

Great question, Dario Ferreira.
We offer a CRM (+ fully loaded marketing platform).
And to be more specific - agents should have their own CRM - NOT one provided by, or associated with, a brokerage. Why? We've laid out a few reasons... - Tim

Because I don't need one. A spreadsheet works just as well (and better) for me... though technically that is a CRM. Heck, a Rolodex is one too... technically. Or my phone's address book... especially how Google integrates with the calendar.
