I am not in Revolution CRM every day, but I head there frequently for important financial reports. It’s easy and quick. With our previous CRM solution, many simple things were difficult. It was an arduous process, but with Revolution CRM, it’s easy to navigate and access what I need.

Who is ROI Solutions? A true partner. They have made our success their business. Whether a complex direct mail appeal or needs to organize volunteer information better, the ROI team will provide innovative ideas and deliver solid solutions. We have an outstanding service provider in ROI.

We came to ROI Solutions in a sorry state because we couldn’t trust our data. Our processes were convoluted, and communication with our members was frequently confused and affected. We had few automated processes. For example, the lifeblood of many public media organizations is its sustaining membership. But recapturing declined transactions was highly manual. With Revolution CRM and Engaging Networks, we’ve automated processing and communication around declined sustainer transactions. After putting these processes in place, we recaptured more than $80,000 in just the first few months. For us, that’s a staff position — a journalist in the community telling stories that matter. It’s not just numbers in a spreadsheet.

PETA’s sustainer program represents over $9 million annually for the organization. Even a 1% positive change in sustainer retention represents tens of thousands of dollars in revenue. So, we are working with MiLo to identify those at-risk audiences and create intervention strategies to prevent churn.

One of the reasons I love working at ROI Solutions is that we’re at an exciting stage in the company’s development, where we are refining our processes, tools, and technology to keep pace with the growth and needs of our client base. I like the challenge of streamlining and operationalizing how our teams work together to make our work as efficient and foolproof as possible. Meanwhile, ROI’s growth is measured to ensure we retain our strong connections and commitments to each other and our clients. Our primary focus is on supporting the vital work of our nonprofit clients, not growing our bottom line.

I like that the ROI Solutions team is willing to dive into, think through, and help solve a problem. It’s not really just the product. It’s the team.

We can now handle multiple pledge drives concurrently and use that brain power to focus on other data-driven opportunities. This is a huge plus for public media organizations; the results speak for themselves! For each pledge drive, the approach has cut 75% of the time needed to review the daily file for member data inconsistencies. The time spent reviewing call center calls has been reduced by over 90%.

One of the main reasons we are happy with our partner relationship with ROI Solutions is that they’re very responsive in listening to our suggestions. I have a highly innovative team, and having a partner that meets them with that innovation is critical for us, our organization’s success, and, ultimately, our mission.

Our transition from our legacy system to ROI Solutions was relatively seamless. The ROI Solutions team prepared a solid conversion plan and worked closely with WEDU to ensure a smooth transition and migration to the new system. We have reevaluated outdated business processes and developed a philanthropic business model that will lead to increased revenue and expanded opportunities.

Claire O’Connor

Senior Vice President of Development

WEDU

With Revolution CRM, we’re able to bring high-touch fundraising to scale without losing the personal connections that matter most. The tools help us act on data—not just store it—so our team can prioritize relationships, stay coordinated, and interact with intention.

Asking donors at the right time to become part of a recurring giving program is vital to our success, but response rates are tiny in the mail. We need the insights a machine learning model can give us to optimize the resources we have to invest in these efforts. The plan is to take the typical huge invite audience and look to mail the top 50% which should get us 90% of the responders, per the model back testing.

Revolution CRM’s architecture makes connecting and integrating with different partners easy. It is critical because each partner is best of breed for us and serves our purposes best.

Jeff Regen

Vice President of Development

One of our biggest concerns is the amount of data that we have and the data flowing at us from all angles from different applications. ROI Solutions has been beneficial in identifying what matters and what doesn’t, cutting out the background noise, and focusing on what’s important within our data.

Steve Kehrli

I have been in the High Touch experience daily since it became available. The system is clean and intuitive and streamlines the moves management process, which has helped us significantly clean up our major gift data and manage the end-to-end process better. You can see on one screen precisely what is happening in your portfolio. What is due and whether it’s a solicitation, an email, or a follow-up phone call. To be able to have that in one snapshot has been tremendous. The system helps us think, and I appreciate how the system will nudge you along. It also helps on the management side. It helps me to understand my team’s outreach to donors, their portfolio, and their workload. It helps me ensure our donors are appropriately stewarded. It has helped us organize a massive amount of information. We’re better able to target and segment our donors.

The Client Services Account Team that supports Defenders of Wildlife is absolutely incredible! They are there to answer questions or help us figure out any issues we are facing. Their knowledge of our system use and ability to ask the “right questions” back to get us the answers we need saves us time and resources from searching for answers.

ROI Solutions invests time, talent, and effort into its systems. Everyone at ROI Solutions is focused on improving Revolution CRM and your use of it.

Mary Murtala

Senior Director of Development Operations

National Parks Conservation Association

The real test of any system is the ability to get data out of the system to provide users across the organization with the right information to answer the specific use case. I love the ability to create my own reports and schedule them as I need them. I am also able to schedule reports for Finance on a monthly basis, as well as create weekly and daily reports that are distributed to my supervisor and teammates.

Dana Hickman

Director, Marketing Operations

Defenders of Wildlife

I am very happy to see how much training is provided in the relationship. The training gives a good overview of how the system was designed, what it was designed to do, and how you should use it.

Connecticut Public is very excited about our transition to Revolution CRM. We see tons of opportunities for improved member management, efficiencies in workflow, and a big improvement in UX with a more intuitive and easy-to-use interface than Salesforce. The project management and support from the ROI team is unparalleled, and we’re excited to be working with a knowledgeable and dedicated partner.

Lauren Komrosky

Chief Digital Officer

Connecticut Public

I’m excited about data visualization because it allows me to create dynamic shboards that tell a story about a particular strategic initiative or campaign. This makes it easier for your leadership teams to digest the data and understand what you show them. And once they’re built, they will be automatically refreshed, so you don’t have to manage manual downloads.

ROI Solutions stands out from other vendors in their approach to partnership. Unlike some of our other partners who frequently push for more licenses or new technologies, ROI Solutions focuses on enhancing the efficiency of our existing setup to help us achieve our mission. This approach aligns with our goals and fosters a true partnership. Our mission is ROI’s mission. We share mutual respect, which sets our experience with ROI Solutions apart.

Working at Defenders of Wildlife has been my first experience with Revolution CRM. I’ve used many systems in the past, and I’ve been amazed at how easy it has been to acclimate to their user interface, figure out where everything is, and quickly view the data we have stored in the solution.

Dana Hickman

Director, Marketing Operations

Defenders of Wildlife

The longevity of our relationship with ROI Solutions is a testament to their understanding of our business. Unlike other vendors, we don’t have to repeatedly explain our business case and the logic behind our decisions. The ROI Solutions team is well-versed in our business and our use of their system, demonstrating their deep knowledge of our database and processes.

Geoff Garcia

In a previous position, the organization I worked for went through a database conversion, which didn’t go as well as we had planned. So, when I interviewed at Special Olympics, I was told one of the first things we’d be working on was a database conversion. I was still feeling wounded from my previous experience but was ready to help tackle this project. As we went through our selection process, I learned that many on our ROI Solutions team had prior experience with Special Olympics and historical knowledge that I didn’t have coming in; I knew we were in good hands. It was a seamless process, and the ROI Solutions team restored my faith in how a database conversion can go.
