Veteran customer service

The average CRM Coach has been working with LACRM customers for over 5 years — this means no matter who you talk to, you're talking to a seasoned pro.

That's because we pay every employee a thriving wage. When we hire someone, they stay long enough to become an actual expert. No chatbots ever.

One low price, and no upcharges

We have no investors demanding that we squeeze every dollar out of our users, so we'll always price LACRM as low as we can afford to.

We've only raised our price once in the past 14 years (thanks a lot, inflation), and we gave existing customers an extra four years on the original price — because loyalty matters.

Utter commitment to small businesses

Less Annoying CRM isn't a neglected spin-off of another big CRM, nor are we the "lite" version of a more expensive system.

Our goal 14 years ago was to build the best CRM for small businesses, and today we're still the #1 easiest-to-use CRM for small businesses. We have no plans to change course.

Our story

If a software engineer can't set up a CRM, we have a problem

Tyler, an experienced software engineer, struggled to get “A Very Popular CRM” 👀 set up for his boss. It ended up being so difficult to use that he built his own app instead.

Yep, that app became Less Annoying CRM, and Tyler, our CEO.

That was over a decade ago, so why are CRMs still so hard to use for small businesses?

About once a month, I come away shaking my head saying, “what were they thinking?

Not only do they upcharge you for every little thing, but for that price you’d expect to be able to have some tech support beyond an online Q&A repository. Ridiculous.

I come from a background of CRMs that end up being binned after two months because you need a degree to work it. And a masters to keep in the loop and stay on top of it.

This happens because most CRMs are still funded by investors

An investor's only goal is to make more money than last year, and you do that by attracting high-value customers.

Unfortunately, small businesses ≠ high-value customers.

👉 This means that for most investor-funded CRM companies, it makes no financial sense to serve small businesses.

That's why so many CRMs that start off as "small business CRMs" end up becoming, well, those CRMs.

Less Annoying CRM is completely self-funded

This lets us do things that most investors would balk at, just because that’s how we want to do business.

That's why we’ve been running the small business playbook since 2009. 💙

Never raising any money from investors has meant that LACRM has had a much longer, slower journey to growth, and no one here is going to become a billionaire.

That’s just fine with us.
