Two Years with FollowUpBoss – My Honest, No-Fluff Experience

[Alyson Anderson]

I don’t usually rave about software, but after two years with FollowUpBoss, I feel like I need to share my experience, the good, the bad, and the unexpected.

When I first started using it, it was just me juggling leads, follow-ups, and trying to keep track of conversations without dropping the ball. It felt like I was always a step behind, forgetting to follow up, losing track of who I spoke to, and scrambling to stay organized.

Then I found FollowUpBoss. At first, it took me a while to really use it the right way (because let’s be real, CRMs can be overwhelming), but once I got the hang of it, everything clicked. Fast forward two years, and now my whole team is using it, and I honestly don’t know how we managed before.

What’s still frustrating: There’s a learning curve. If you don’t set it up right from the start, it can feel like just another tool you’re paying for. Once it’s dialed in, though, it’s a game-changer.

I didn’t expect to rely on it this much, but now I can’t imagine running my business without it. If you’ve used it, I’d love to hear your take—do you feel the same, or am I just drinking the Kool-Aid?

 Do you have any experience with other software? Going from no system to any system is a game changer. I'm using my broker's software and its has been great for my business, and it's free to use! However, I've been wondering if a more robust CRM is worth it. 

I hear you on that—any system is better than no system, but the level of automation and visibility FUB gives me has been a game-changer. I’ve used a few other CRMs before, but most felt either too clunky or not tailored enough for real estate. If your broker’s system is working well for you, that’s huge. But if you ever feel like you're outgrowing it, FUB is worth a look. Do you feel like there’s anything missing from your current setup?
