The key to success in the hospitality industry is providing a top-notch customer experience. A customer relationship management (CRM) platform like Nutshell is the perfect solution for nurturing guest relationships and driving repeat business.
A CRM platform is a powerful tool for nurturing customer and client relationships and driving repeat business. When you can track every interaction you’ve had with a client, send them personalized emails to keep them engaged, and streamline appointment scheduling, you can foster greater loyalty to your business and stay ahead of the competition.
Whether your business is a hotel, catering service, restaurant, or related to travel or tourism, using a CRM is a game-changer for keeping track of detailed information about guests, targeting different customer segments with your sales and marketing efforts, and improving communication so you can nurture relationships.

When we were evaluating CRMs, the one deciding factor between Nutshell and Salesforce came down to spin up time and price. Nutshell wins on both counts (by a huge margin). Salesforce was 10 times as much per month for what we wanted.
