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.

“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.”

Cherry Gamble

Chief Development Officer

Southern Poverty Law Center

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.

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.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals

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 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.

Once the dialogue begins, it doesn’t end. Anytime you need to understand something better, think through what the process might look like and what’s coming up next. ROI Solutions is always there for you.

Mary Murtala

Senior Director of Development Operations

National Parks Conservation Association

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.

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.

ROI Solutions has consistently demonstrated its commitment to our cause throughout the course of our relationship. They provide financial support and actively participate in our events, including our National Dinner. Their team’s enthusiasm and dedication are unmatched. I remember one year, when Cyndi Lauper sang ‘Girls Just Want to Have Fun’ at our Dinner, Gina and I were dancing, screaming at the top of our lungs. It was a testament to the fun and supportive environment that ROI Solutions fosters. And no one knows how to have fun like Gina!

Susan Paine

Human Rights Campaign

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.

We are thrilled to have a partner in ROI Solutions – a company that actively supports our mission and whose technology helps us better serve our members and help us reach our immediate and long-term constituent engagement and revenue goals

DeLinda Mrowka

Chief Audience Officer

KQED

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.

Michele Murphy

Vice President, Member Generosity & Audience Intelligence

KQED

“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.”

Lauren Komrosky

Chief Digital Officer

Connecticut Public

I make no secret of the fact that ROI Solutions is the first technology partner I’ve worked with that I actually love. I’m a master of bad analogies, but our migration from Salesforce to Revolution CRM was like a bungee cord jump. The ROI Solutions team was the cord. If you’re going to jump off a bridge, you want to have complete trust that the cord will hold. It dawned on me late in the project, after going live, that there wasn’t a single point where I doubted the safety of the cord. This brought a profound sense of relief and peace of mind.

Brendan Foley

Senior Director, Growth Strategy

Connecticut Public

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.

Marie Colbert

Technical Services Manager, Professional Services

ROI Solutions

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.

Joanne Wilson

Humane Society of the United States

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

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

Senior Vice President of Development

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)

We had two teams, two CRMs, countless different procedures, and a challenging road ahead. Our ROI implementation team made us feel comfortable and confident from day one. They thoughtfully guided us through the entire process offering guidance through suggested best practices and allowing us to forge our own path. They were thorough and kept us on track, and we could launch even a few days ahead of our projected timeline!

Brynn Carris

Director of Membership and Development Operations

Vermont Public

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.

Monica Muten

Vice President, Direct Response Marketing

Special Olympics

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.
