Clean with purpose, order, and strategic timing! Don’t be afraid to utilize a combination of strategies to custom-fit your hygiene initiative. At WETA, one of our tactics was to utilize the ROI Possible Duplicates module in proximity to a deployed NCOA update. Theoretically, one would assume duplicates with the same address will appear in higher volume after your CRM has been updated via NCOA. Post NCOA is a great time to dive into your possible duplicates, as this practice will make your routine QC maintenance that much easier since your strongest effort will be concentrated to a time period when you know more possible dupes will surface.

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 offers unparalleled client service. Human Rights Campaign has worked with them since 2001, and they are a true partner. Sometimes, when we have a really sticky wicket, we feel like ROI Solutions is part of the Human Rights Campaign. There’s no “us” and “them.” It is rare to have a relationship like that with a database provider for 23 years and to be happy and trust that they have your best interests at heart. Most nonprofits don’t have that. Many marriages don’t have that!

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 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.

KQED

PETA manages a robust digital advertising program and an extensive database of supporters. Before ROI Solutions’ Push to Social, our teams manually curated supporter lists and individually uploaded each data file into ad networks to create audiences. This time-consuming process limited the audience segments we could reach and the frequency of our uploads. Now that we’ve automated that process in Revolution CRM, we focus our time on creating compelling ads to share our message across responsive audience segments and discover new audiences to reach. This has increased engagement, revenue, and leads for our program.

We have a true partnership with ROI Solutions. During onboarding, our team at ROI dove into our program and asked the right questions to better understand our direct response strategy and goals. They get the big picture and understand the intricacies of our data to assist us in getting the right message to the right audience at the right time. We have been impressed with their responsiveness and willingness to pivot quickly with changes to our program. ROI is at the table when we implement new strategies and always look for ways to streamline our process.

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!

“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.”

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%.

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 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.

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.

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.

We’ve had several changes with our direct marketing agencies over the last few years. Throughout those transitions, ROI Solutions has been the constant. We can always rely on them to provide exceptional service and data quality as our direct response strategy evolves. They helped us onboard our new agencies and understand our data and programs. We can always count on our team at ROI.

“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.”

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.

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.

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!

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.

ROI Solutions’ innovative AI technology, MiLo Intelligence, is efficient and seamless. At HRC, we have used various predictive models over the years. We have been very impressed with the results from MiLo in both our recent and very deep-lapsed audiences. We have found those elusive ‘needles in a haystack’ among our deepest lapsed donors that we would likely have never touched using our regular segmentation and modeling efforts.
