As of end of September, I’m 24% above my total year end sales for 08. And I’m looking to have another record month in November if/when I close on some opportunities.

I started Infusionsoft end of July, really about Mid August after I got back from vacation. Being able to take a half dozen accounts, some home-grown apps, and merge it all into one interface has been a huge time saver and a lot cheaper than paying my employee’s to do this administrative type work!!

I thought the advertising you all did promoting “double your business in 12 months” was BS – I’ve done it in less than 6.

Thanks!

Bryan Dulaney from JVEruption posted a thorough review and shares feedback on his review of  Infusionsoft. I wanted to pick it apart and speak to a few topics that he raised about Infusionsoft.

I don’t know how else to say it but to say it: you got to automate your business if you want to make serious cash. Anyone who is spending time managing their e-mail database manually is either not too bright or simply incredibly stubborn. Add to that manually processing sales and you’ll definitely be operating your business in the dark ages. It simply doesn’t make sense to operate your business in any other way other than complete automation. This is exactly the leverage that InfusionSoft gives you with their comprehensive software services. I liken it to Ron Popeil’s “set it and forget” mantra as this is pretty much what you end up doing with your website marketing efforts. You simply set up the program with your particular website information and e-mail database and the software does the rest. This software is incredibly invaluable and will guarantee that you take your business to the next level.

Bryan has a point — business is not just about choosing a solution and sticking with it, it’s about the amount of effort you pour into it and the results you get. Infusionsoft gets results! Infusionsoft is that intelligent marketing solution that makes all these systems talk to each other.

Like many have discovered, the software is so powerful, it takes a bit of configuration and setting up to be able to rest comfortably. This is where he shares the less than favorable side of powerful CRM, email marketing and eCommerce software:

The only real downside to using InfusionSoft is that you may have to manually set a lot of the systems up the first time you begin using it. This can be pretty time consuming and may even make you bang your head against the wall couple of times, but once you get everything up and running you’ll make up the time spent very quickly as the software begins to do its work.

This is true, new customers need to budget time to learn the interface (we try to be intuitive), practice with how follow up sequences work and toy with your first campaign before digging into the meat of the business. Following the first week or so, you should be ready to hit the big switch and turn on automation for your business. We’re always improving and making the software more valuable, intuitive and exciting. We do this by accepting top ideas from customers, reviewing customer surveys and simply just being plugged into the needs of entrepreneurs and small businesses.

He concludes –

Simply put, I’m a fan. If you’re serious about having a business that runs like a well oiled machine, then you need to automate it. Personally, I can’t think of any better service out there to do this than InfusionSoft.

Thanks, Bryan, for this great review. We can’t wait to hear of your success and transform your business into a case study!

I bought Infusionsoft at the GKIC Phenomenon Event in Jan09…my online biz was only 8wks old. Now after 6 months…total organization…hands off prospect marketing, hands off new customer 45 day sequence, order forms up the wazzooo, shopping cart/store, new customer survey in new customer sequence…auto generated manual order fulfillment to keep track of daily shipping + auto generated manual fulfillment of new customer gifts. My sales have increased 400% since Jan…and still I can focus on new marketing and growing the biz rather than running the biz…and I have a hard product that gets shipped by me right now…so I could not do it all without Infusionsoft.

It’s been almost a year since I started looking for the right customer relationship management product for my company. We were able to gather lots of targeted leads thanks to an efficient website that we had built. Unfortunately we weren’t able to track and manage the leads and would often respond to the customers initial request way too late. I made a great decision when I chose Infusionsoft. The set up was easy with the guidance they provided and their support is hard to beat. We haven’t needed much help, but when we did we got resolution very quickly. it doesn’t hurt that we have more than double our sales since starting to use it.
