This software changed our lives at work! Magazine Manager is specifically designed for those of us in the print and digital publishing industry and it is crucial to our sales success. It is extremely easy to learn and apply immediately. As a past Salesforce user, this is SO much easier to use and because it is made for ad sales, the company deeply understands the details of exactly what we need.
Magazine Manager is a robust tool that has allowed our publishing organization to manage multiple aspects of our magazine publishing in one central source, saving us precious hours of duplicated efforts. We have been able to combine sales, sales marketing, editorial, magazine layout, and buyers guide data together. The buyers guide content integration has saved our team countless hours of review and manual updates of our buyers guide data.
Hands down, the best CRM platform for a magazine publisher. The team at Mirabel Technologies is investing heavily in technology (think AI), and the customer support is second to none. If you are considering a switch and want to improve your team's productivity significantly, I highly recommend taking a close look at The Magazine Manager. It seamlessly integrates everything from CRM to production, to accounting, and they are even working on editorial integrations.
The logic in how it's built and the ease of use is what sold me on The Magazine Manager 7 years ago, and its upgrades are what keep me a happy customer. It's easy to navigate and does everything we need. Everyone who was involved at The Magazine Manager was helpful. That was in 2013 and still holds true today.
I've tried all the major CRMs but for the publishing industry, no one does it better than Magazine Manager. It streamlines the sales process with integrated tools. Everything works together!
Our reps [manage] far more clients, allowing us to bill more and them to earn more in commissions. Better fit, had all the fields and data we needed, no customization required, low cost.
