You might be wondering whether you need a CRM system. Well, the answer is quite simple. If your company sells products or services to customers, you have a need for CRM. You've probably heard the old saying, "what got you here won't get you there." The same lesson can be applied to an evolving business. During the startup phase, you might have gotten by with Excel spreadsheets or something similar to keep track of customer orders and inquiries.

Why Any Industry Can Be Disrupted By The Subscription Economy - Interview With Anne Janzer
Yana Prokopets 15 September 2016 170Anne Janzer is a professional writer who has worked with more than one hundred technology companies. She is author of the books The Writer’s Process, Getting Your Brain in Gear and Subscription Marketing: Strategies for Nurturing Customer in a World of Churn.
In your book Subscription Marketing you teach strategies for nurturing customers in a world of churn. Can you share the core principles of subscription marketing with our readers?
AJ: In a subscription business, marketing is just getting started at the point of conversion.
The subscription customer must decide, again and again, to remain a customer. To keep subscription customers renewing and reengaging, you have to provide genuine value and solve their problems. This requires a deep understanding of the customer.
Successful subscription marketing requires that marketers collaborate closely with other parts of the business, working on cross-functional teams with sales, customer success and support, and anyone involved in the ongoing customer relationship.

How To Start A Business While Working Full Time - Interview With Ryan Robinson
Yana Prokopets 31 August 2016 270Ryan Robinson is a content marketing consultant to the world's top experts and startups.
Despite the common belief that freelancing is not a “real” job – late waking up, working in pajamas and being your own boss, this career path is still perceived to be risky. Could you talk about pros and cons of starting a freelance career?
RR: I treat my freelance business with a crazy amount of seriousness. Despite being self-employed, I still force myself to wake up by 5:00am most mornings during the work week so that I can get a jump start on my client projects and give them my best creative energy since I know my best thinking and writing is done in the first half of the day. To me, the biggest pro is that I'm the one person who's solely responsible for bringing in an income each month - if I fail at generating enough revenue in any given period of time, there's nobody I can point to for blame. I'm responsible for my own successes, and my own failures. The biggest con for me is that at the end of the day, I'm still working for somebody else even as a freelancer. Sure, I'm an entrepreneur with my freelance business in the sense that I employ myself. However, when it comes down to it, I have to work closely with my clients to ensure that the work I'm doing for them is well-aligned with their goals. For someone who's fiercely independent when it comes to how I spend my time, the feeling of creating for someone else is a constant struggle for me.

Why Retention Is The Most Important Metrics For The Membership Economy - Interview With Robbie Kellman Baxter
Yana Prokopets 23 August 2016 193Robbie Kellman Baxter - the author of The Membership Economy, brings over twenty years of strategy consulting and marketing expertise to Peninsula Strategies. Her clients have included start-ups and mid-sized venture-backed companies as well as industry leaders such as Netflix, Yahoo!, Oracle and eBay. Over the past ten plus years, Peninsula Strategies has advised nearly one hundred organizations on growth strategy.
In your book The Membership Economy : Find Your Super Users, Master the Forever Transaction, and Build Recurring Revenue you coined the term “membership economy”. Can you please explain the term to our readers?
The Membership Economy is a term I coined to describe a massive trend I was seeing. Organizations were moving away from anonymous transactions and toward known and ongoing relationships with their customers or members. In addition, the trend is often characterized by a move from ownership to access, from one-time payment to recurring automated payments and by a more open communication, both between the organization and the member and among the members themselves, under the umbrella of the organization. I first started thinking about this idea several years ago when I was consulting at Netflix, and fell in love with their business model. I loved how they were so focused on their mission, and yet willing to evolve delivery—moving from three DVDs out at a time to streaming to contracting for their own content.

What is the difference between the Cloud and Self-hosted versions?
Dmitry Davydov 16 August 2016 546Bitrix24 is a solution for business communications and collaboration introduced for organizations of any size. The system unites tools classically belonging to corporate intranets with CRM, project management and social collaboration elements to form an optimal virtual work platform. Bitrix24 can be used as an online service (Cloud version, SaaS) and as a ‘box’ product (Self-hosted version, i.e. installed on your own server). Depending on your business nature, company size, and requirements for an intranet solution, you can choose between the flexible Cloud subscription plans, or develop a custom intranet project using the Self-hosted version.
Bitrix24 Cloud version
Cloud technologies are very popular at the moment, they provide flexible data management, and 24/7 access from anywhere where you can get connected to the Internet. Bitrix24 Cloud version could be an optimal solution if you have 1-100 employees. Selected commercial subscriptions provide an unlimited number of user accounts for both the intranet (employees and management) and the extranet (partners and clients). If you eventually need a higher level of product customization, corporate branding and/or integration with other enterprise software, you can migrate your Bitrix24 Cloud account to the Self-Hosted version at any point.
Bitrix24 Self-hosted version
There are several instances when on premise Bitrix24 editions have to be used instead of cloud - when law requires that data has to be stored in a specific location, when you need source code access, when you need Bitrix24 tools that aren't available in cloud or when you don't want to use cloud services due to internal policies. Feature-wise, the Self-hosted version includes more tools and modules compared to the Cloud version.
