Exploring REW CRM's New Lead Details Page
We understand how crucial effective lead management is to your success, which is why we've revamped REW CRM's Lead Details page. Our goal is to simplify your workflow and provide everything you need in one place, making it easier to track, manage, and engage with your leads.
The Reason for the Update
One of the key reasons for revamping the Lead Details page is to improve the mobile experience within REW CRM. While our clients have loved their experience with the REW app, more than 95% of our users access the CRM through a browser, making it clear that enhancing the mobile view of the CRM is a top priority.
Optimizing the mobile browser version instead of the app saves costs and allows us to allocate more resources toward developing new features. Typically, we release powerful updates to REW CRM every 2-3 months, and constantly updating the app to support these features can become time-consuming. Additionally, Apple's frequent iOS updates require apps to constantly adapt, meaning more time would be spent maintaining the app instead of pushing forward with valuable R&D.
We know how busy and constantly on-the-go agents are, which is why we're committed to ensuring REW CRM supports them wherever they are. By focusing on the CRM's mobile functionality, we're making sure you and your team have access to all the tools you need anytime, anywhere.
