ROI Solutions Drives the Member Experience

Public media organizations are unique, with specific terminology, business requirements, and integration needs that few CRM solutions get right. Constituents are members. Sustaining pledges are the lifeblood of the organization. Pledge drives aren’t just ordinary fundraising campaigns. Premiums must be managed and fulfilled effectively. And a host of integrations is needed to keep operations humming and members happy. The membership experience is vital to your success.

  • Public media organizations rely on Revolution CRM to centralize donor records, manage sustainers, and strengthen member engagement.

  • With Unite Analytics, stations can combine data sources to uncover deeper insights into audience behavior and giving trends.

  • Milo Intelligence applies machine learning to predict renewals, identify at-risk members, and enhance pledge drives.

  • Public media organizations can also leverage Epiphany Benchmarking to understand how their fundraising and engagement metrics compare across the sector. Epiphany Benchmarking works with any nonprofit CRM, Revolution CRM, and Unite Analytics.

“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 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 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.

Connecticut Public is very excited about our transition to Revolution CRM. We see tons of opportunities for improved member management, efficiencies in workflow, and a big improvement in UX with a more intuitive and easy-to-use interface than Salesforce. The project management and support from the ROI team is unparalleled, and we’re excited to be working with a knowledgeable and dedicated partner.

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.

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 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.

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!

Vermont Public Accelerates Transition to a Unified Organization

Vermont Public Radio and Vermont PBS merged to become Vermont Public to better serve the greater Vermont community. The merger presented a unique opportunity to completely redefine member programs and processes from scratch and combine duplicative technology solutions and business processes to support unified membership and development operations. The consolidation into Revolution CRM accelerated the transition to a fully unified organization.

Big Changes at WHYY Drive Big Results

WHYY embarked on a journey to modernize its entire technical infrastructure. The move to Revolution CRM allowed them to holistically rethink 10+-year-old business processes and their complete solution stack with an eye toward automation and efficiency. What were the results? A staggering 20% sustainer growth.

CDP Partners with ROI Solutions to Provide Technical Backbone

The Contributor Development Partnership (CDP) selected Revolution CRM to propel its 40+ station Member Service Bureau to replace Salesforce NGO Connect. The collaboration results in the most significant number of public media donors managed on a single CRM platform to create opportunities for increased innovation, efficiency, and effectiveness across the sector.
