David explains, “We don’t anticipate knowing everything a vertical or an individual may need. Our architecture is extremely flexible in adding or enhancing features and functionality to accommodate any requirements. Our mission is to significantly streamline and organize its clients’ business processes, improving on analysis of data via quality reporting, leading to better marketing execution, instead of juggling one-off, disconnected tasks.”

Providing clients with solutions that help better manage business

Since the foundation of Cool Life, the firm has been providing clients with cloud solution that help businesses better manage their clients, data, marketing, partners and sales pipeline. The backbone of Cool Life CRM, David says, is a database that powers the client’s CRM, eMail Marketing, website and landing pages, campaign management that extends the customer lifecycle, and increases sales through Sales Performance Management. “A widely recognized benefit is saving costs with a single solution. Clients not only see an increase in ROI through cost savings and growing sales, but they also see increases in return on time invested,” says David.

Over the course of last 17 years, Cool Life has evolved significantly and according to the needs and requirements of its clients. One such example is when David recalls, “As the Cool Life team heard that companies were unhappy with expensive, complicated, and unwieldy CRM installs, we evolved from custom programming and digital marketing into an easy-to-use and install SaaS platform. Companies needed a best-in-class, cloud-based business solution that was robust and customizable, but that did not require outside programmers or specialized training for IT staff. Our platform meets those business requirements providing a user-friendly admin panel and a painless on-boarding process. The Cool Life Client Services team fully supports the product eliminating the necessity for clients to hire and specially certify additional IT personnel. The low one-time installation fee includes training and eliminates on-going and unexpected IT expenses!”

As per David, Cool Life is a more advanced system, pertinent in providing features and functions that can integrate everyday business processes across a company with several divisions. “The platform is especially useful for businesses that have long or complex sales cycles requiring continual customer connection. We also offer collaborative project management tools, document management and archives, event management, a Content Management System (CMS), email campaign management, and more,” he further adds.

Additionally, David says that it is a collaborative system that enables management to assess the status of customer prospects without disrupting those interfacing with prospects, promoting these end-users working together toward common goals of customer acquisition. Similar to its competition, “Cool Life can be scaled globally as a network, but what sets us apart is the ease of scalability that we offer to modify or augment the system, according to changing needs of the business. This brings an immediate benefit, and avoids the time and expense associated with the drudgery of hiring consultants, writing business rules and modifying and testing code, as is so prevalent with other CRM systems,” asserts David.

The Cool Life CRM platform integrates with G Suite, Microsoft 365 and more. The CRM connects the calendar, email, and project management all in one place. This ensures the end of frustrating email searches which waste time and emotional energy. Emails at attached to the CRM record, and recorded inside the engagement or project.

This keeps the data neat and organized. However, data records have a 360° view. Contacts are attached to their companies so that the entire company can be viewed. Additionally, prospecting is streamlined because past projects and engagements are attached.

All completed tasks will roll up and bill the client automatically. This is a very easy way to make sure that payables are collected in a reasonable time and, if the client is on retainer, the billing report can be sent for validation of the retainer reduction.
