Demand Force

[Junior]

Do any of you use Demand Force marketing tools? Our managemnt system is working on integration with DemandForce. I saw a demo, I like most of what they do. Its kind of expensive but it gives us some added contanct avenues with the customer that we desire yet don't have the tools to implement though our management system alone. Who is using it and what kind of results are you seeing? What managment system are you using and how well does it integrate with DemandForce, primarily from recommendation management and customer self scheduling?

 

Thanks for the input!!!

We have been using DF for 4 years. They have a good product that has, for us, been worth the cost. Having said that we are moving our customer retention marketing to Auto Vitals. Auto Vitals does CRM, Web Site Development, Social Media Marketing and Digital Inspection/Shop Flow Management software that is really cool stuff.

I had a bad experience with Demand Force a few years ago. The biggest complaint is their customer service. They will work like mad to sign you up, show you a really sunny picture of what they can do for you and how much they care about your business however once you have a legitimate complaint or gripe, they will shuffle you between person to person. I got so fed up I dropped them after 2 months. Personally I'd look elsewhere. We are using Kukui with decent results.

The two primary features I'm looking for in this service is the management of recommended services as part of a customer contact management toolset and the ability for customers to request appointments via Internet/smartphone. The social media tools are great and useful but secondary in my opinion.

 

As far as I can tell Mitchell doesn't offer those kinds of tools and the last I looked at their management system it was sub-par. I'll take a look at Auto Vitals and Kukui.

 

Thanks!

Used DF for years and like them as far as they go. Recently switched to Kukui. Amazing program. They do it all - website, CRM, SEO, social content, adwords.
