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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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!

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.

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.

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 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.”

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!

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 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
