Ivan: Thanks for your input. Have you played around with Nimble? Brent Leary did a fascinating interview with John Ferrara, CEO of Nimble, on January 4, 2013, on Small Business Trends.

Martin,

I never tried it. Their single-pricing-plan strategy is interesting, though...

Ivan: I thought it would cost more in total for a CRM system. Thanks for the information. How much will it cost to add the social media aspect to a CRM system?

Martin,

It would if you build an on-premise, custom CRM system :)

I'm not sure how to custom-add social media aspect to a CRM system. There are, however, tools like Comindware that integrate social media into the platform; it's more project management/collaboration than a CRM, though...

Ivan: How much does it cost for a small business owner / solopreneur, to get an efficient CRM system? How do you add on the social media activities into the mix? What is the break-even point for a sales lead - client tool?

I have to take a look into what the Refresh app could do for my business.

Martin,

I don't have much experience in this, but I think that depends on the platform you choose and features you need.

Salesforce service starts at $25/user/month, for instance. SproutSocial starts at $59/user/month. Add both for a less than $100/user/month CRM+social media.
