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.

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.

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.

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!

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 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 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.

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!

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 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’ 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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!
