FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do you offer a free trial?

Yes! We want our new members to have the option to try our software prior to committing longterm. We do require a card on file but you are more than welcome to cancel anytime prior to your trial being over and never have to pay a single penny. Since we are a small business, we do want those who sign up to take it serious and take the time to explore our software and features during that first month to see if it’s the right fit and we feel like the best way to do that is to require a card on file.

I dont have an agency or consultancy business, but you're software looks amazing. Can I sign up?

We hear this all the time, and of course, you can! Although our software was built specifically for agencies and consultants, we have plenty of members who work with clients on a regular basis and love using our software to manage their businesses. Since you can customize everything within our software you can easily make it fit to your business. 

Do you have a referral program? I'd love to tell my friends about this!

First, thank you so much for wanting to help us spread the word about our software. That means so much. We just launched our new referral program where you can give your friends 50% off, and earn $5 every month for anyone you refer that is on a paid plan. Make yourself an account to create your own coupon code to share!

What's your cancellation policy?

Our cancellation policy is pretty simple. We don’t believe in locking someone into a contract so at no point are you signing a contract with us. You can cancel your account at anytime and we have tried our best to make the process as simple as possible.

Can I get a refund?

We offer refunds for annual subscriptions, and the refund must be requested within 14 days after the renewal date. We don’t give refunds for monthly subscriptions or requests that arrive 15 days or later from the renewal date. We always send out a subscription renewal notification 7 days prior to you being charged, which gives you plenty of time to submit a refund request if need be.

What makes the ESM different than other CRMs?

We believe what separates us from others is that we have built our software by listening directly to our members. We consider our active members as part of our ever-growing team. Our number one goal is to improve our CRM by implementing the features they want the most. Everything you see in the CRM was requested by people just like you. If you’re hesitant to join us because we’re missing something important, just let us know, and we will add it to our list of potential upcoming features!
