I’m working on all my favorites first and IXACT Contact is right up there. With the addition of free responsive WordPress web sites on top of some of their other popular features, they’re without doubt one of the best values out there. Check out my new video review!

Talk about great value in a CRM! IXACT Contact now includes a mobile friendly WordPress web site in your CRM subscription. These are for real customizable sites that feed the leads directly into the CRM. But it doesn’t stop with just the site. The site includes a blog and they provide blog content for you too. IDX is not included for free but can be secured through IXACT and they have several different levels of service in that regard. They have many templates to choose from and you modify them if you like. For more information or a 60 day trial of IXACT Contact – click here!
IXACT Contact is one of the very few Real Estate CRMs that include blast email campaign reporting statistics incorporated right in to it. The primary benefit to this is that you don’t have to use a third party to see how your mailings are doing. And the statistics displays in IXACT Contact are specifically for real estate agents rather than a generic reporting system. It’s an incredibly useful and powerful feature and now it’s gotten better.
It’s important to distinguish between different types of emails. IXACT Contact allows you to send 
an unlimited number of day to day emails one at a time, and also allows unlimited emails when they are being sent as a result of an email drip campaign. Then you have blast, mass or bulk emails. Those are the ones you are sending to large groups of people all at once.
To date, IXACT Contact allowed you to send a maximum of 1,000 of these types of emails per month for free. After that number you paid a nominal competitive rate. Now they have increased that to 2,500 per month. That’s one heck of an increase! So the bottom line is that if the number of people you are sending to is less than 2,500 per month, it’s all free. The emails themselves, and the reporting.

I can’t say it better myself so I’ll just post essentially what they sent me…

I’ve been anxiously awaiting this and happy to announce that it is here! You can see more screen shots of the new look on my review page here. It’s still the same great CRM but now it has a new look. Sometimes when a CRM improves it’s User Interface/UI, it also changes the buttons around and you have to re-learn where everything is. It’s like your favorite super market changing where their products are. It can be frustrating and time consuming. That is not the case here. It is virtually identical, but has a nice new clean look. If you passed on IXACT Contact before, primarily because of the aesthetics, you might want to take another look!
They have also announced that they now have a synch with Google. It now “allows you to easily establish an automatic 3-way synchronization between IXACT Contact, your Google apps and your other computing devices, including your smartphone, iPad/tablet, MS Outlook, and applicable Mac applications.”
IXACT Contact has been one of the top sellers for a couple years now and with good reason. It’s a great overall CRM and very popular. Every CRM has its issues over the years though and in the past they had issues with speed. But that’s what this is about. They are a company that listens to feedback and acts on it and are now at least as fast as anyone else and it’s clear to see.
Some months ago I did a time test between it and its primary competitors and they came out a little behind. Their findings kept pointing them to people with slow internet connections that were affected but it seemed to be wider than that. After doing some time tests with other leading CRMs it was indeed slower. They’ve been working on it and in the past they have made some adjustments to improve the speed and maybe it did a little but not much. But that is now history. They cite a number of technical reasons for how it got faster and that’s all well and good but the bottom line is that speed is no longer an issue. I just logged in and checked it out after seeing their announcement and it is indeed much faster – for real.
Have you been trying CRMs and have not yet picked one? If you have looked at IXACT Contact in the past and bypassed it primarily because of the speed, check it out now. It is now a non-factor I promise. And they continue to add great features on a regular basis.
Way to go IXACT!

IXACT Contact has been coming along very nicely in it’s five years of life. It has continued to add great features over the years and now there are two really significant ones that I’ve been waiting for. I think they are two that you need to have to compete with the big boys, but even more importantly, to be a great CRM. I’ll let their announcement cover it from here.
“With our new Email Correspondence Capture, REALTORS® can now capture all email correspondence with their clients and prospects right into IXACT Contact! No more copying and pasting emails into the contact history or having to type in manual notes!
This new feature will help agents get more organized and free up time. And next time they’re on the phone with a contact, they’ll benefit from the convenience of being able to see all past email correspondence with them. Now, everything they would need to see about a client or prospect is in one consolidated system – IXACT Contact.
With our new Lead Capture via Email, Realtors can now capture all the leads they receive via email automatically into IXACT Contact. Lead Capture via Email is a simple and versatile method for capturing leads from a wide variety of sources, including existing forms built into one’s website and third party lead vendors. In addition, Realtors can set-up their lead capture process to automatically assign new leads to a specific group and auto-responder drip email campaign. They can even have all new leads automatically added to the distribution list for their monthly e-Newsletter.
This new feature saves agents time and helps them become more organized. All of their leads will automatically be flowed to their database – saving them time and letting them view all of their leads in one consolidated place.”

A great product just keeps getting better. You were always able to use one logon for several people, but you had to share everything including the calendar. That’s fine for some small teams but not for others. Now you have a choice. Below are features that have been added.
