Less Annoying CRM (LACRM) is a no-frills CRM built for very small sales teams and individual sellers who manage their own pipelines. While LACRM is easy-to-use, the tool is just too simplistic, leaving out automation and features that most modern CRM apps include.
UpStreamCloud is the all-in-one software you need to run your entire business. Manage your projects, timesheet, sales, team and clients in one place.
Simplify your work by replacing 3-4 business apps with UpStreamCloud. No matter how many people work at your company, $39 per month is all you'll pay.

LACRM does not allow private pipelines. Every pipeline in LACRM will be visible to all users in your CRM.
Pipeline Privacy
You can create multiple pipelines in UpStreamCloud CRM for different use-cases (ex: territory, product line, country, etc.). You also have the option of creating “private” pipelines with full-control over user access.
Less Annoying CRM does not offer the contacts privacy feature
Private Contacts
Sometimes, you may need to keep certain contacts hidden from the team’s shared activity stream. Marking contacts as ‘private’ in your account does exactly that – these contacts are for your eyes only. You can add specific team members as “followers” to view these contacts.

Manage leads, update deals, follow email conversations and create activities right from your Gmail Inbox with the UpStreamCloud add-on. No more switching between apps.

Key factors to consider when choosing a CRM
1
Business goals
A CRM is not a ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution. One of the biggest reasons for CRM adoption failing is neglecting to clearly define the business objectives for the CRM. You need to make sure the CRM you chose fits with your business goals and ambitions.
2
Ease of use
The effectiveness of your CRM to reach business goals is directly proportional to its usability. It needs to make the life of your sales team, easier not harder. Choose a tool that can be easily customized to your business needs.
3
Integrations
CRM systems that don’t offer the ability to connect to other parts of your business (lead generation, lead nurturing, accounting applications) are not serving your company in a way that maximizes revenue. Think of your CRM as the glue, that keeps all your business process working seamlessly together.
4
Budget
Be sure you have 100% clarity on what you are getting for the price you pay. Many solutions offer basic functionality at a free or low price point only to ramp up the cost for reporting or advanced usability later in the funnel.
5
Support
A good CRM will have a great customer support team to help your sales team use the application to make more sales. Look to see if the CRM offers support in your time zone. Is it just via email or online help ticket? Or do they offer live customer chat, webinars and phone support?
