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.

ROI gets to know its clients very intimately. They understand the organization’s dynamics, changing times, and technology and remain one step ahead. I think that’s what separates them from their competitors in the space.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We searched for our next CRM after maintaining several systems to manage each affiliate organization. The consolidation and transition have transformed our ability to work with our data, and it has radically improved our reporting and the efficiency of our operations across the whole organization. The ROI team has also remained integral to ensuring the integration across our offline and online systems function smoothly.​

I’ve seen the product evolve over the years to allow for managing not just one type of program, mission, or nonprofit but all different types of organizations. All different kinds of clients can use the same software but implement it in a specific way to support their business processes.

After an extensive needs assessment and selection process that included significant feedback from public media stations and rigorous due diligence, we’re excited to invest in the future capacity of our public media community.

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.

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.

Before the transition to Revolution CRM, Special Olympics faced numerous challenges. Our sustainers were managed in one system, while planned giving was handled in another. Integration with our online fundraising system was a struggle, and reconciliation with our finance department was cumbersome. We also had lots of duplicate records. However, since the implementation of Revolution CRM, we have a reliable single system of record, significantly improving our supporter engagement and instilling confidence in our operations.

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.

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.

“It’s ROI Solutions’ industry knowledge, care in our partnership, and appreciation of our mission that makes such a difference. You’re not just a checked box on someone’s schedule to show if something’s red or green that week. In a sea of vendors, it’s hard to know who you can really trust. ROI Solutions has never failed us, and they’ve been consistent in terms of performance and support for our staff.”

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.

In any transition to a new system, there can be some trepidation about disruptions to the deadlines of a complex direct-response program. Despite a shortened timeline in the enterprise-wide implementation of Revolution CRM, the whole process was smooth and seamless, and we didn’t miss a single drop date. We are proud to report that we hit our direct marketing goals within the first year of our move to ROI Solutions. ROI is a great partner who understands our program, works tirelessly to support our work, and is genuinely fun to work with!

I have been a part of several implementations, and converting to Revolution CRM was by far the best and most collaborative implementation project I have experienced. Throughout the process, the communication was clear, and we worked together to achieve our goals.

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%.

“I don’t think we could have asked for a better partner than ROI Solutions. They told us their approach to working with an organization of our size, prepared us for what to expect, and then proceeded to meet or exceed all their promises.”

Before implementing Revolution CRM, we were working out of multiple systems. Each department had its own system; yes, they were supposed to talk to each other but didn’t. An integrated ecosystem allowed us to reset, rethink how we do business, and unite as an organization. ROI Solutions is not in the business of selling you a database. What it is in the business of is partnering with you to provide you the CRM and all of the support they can provide for you to think through how you use this tool at your organization to do your work more efficiently, effectively, and more successfully.

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.

We were looking to develop more 1:1 relationships with our members, but to do that, we needed to reallocate resources and find efficiencies. The ability to rethink our old processes at once generated those efficiencies. We had a vastly improved sustainer billing process, one of the most measurable out-of-the-box improvements, with over 57,000 sustainers. Now many people on our gift processing team can focus on our members rather than spending time keying data.
