I am trying to recommend the best CRM for my members to use with their community and/or businesses. I’ve extensively used Mailchimp, SendGrid, Pipedrive, and Salesforce, but I know a lot of people also use HubSpot, GoHighLevel, ActiveCampaign, and Systeme.io. What do you use? How much does it cost? Does it connect to Zapier? What are the pros and cons? Thank you.

If you had to keep things super simple and could only use three tools to run your business, what would they be? For me, my power trio consists of GoHighLevel, ConvertKit, and Zapier. Here’s why: GoHighLevel: This is my favorite for managing clients. It serves as my all-in-one CRM, making it much easier to track client journeys from onboarding to nurturing relationships. ConvertKit: This is a game-changer for emails. I love how easy it is to set up automated campaigns, and it helps me connect with my audience on a personal level, which is great for keeping in touch with clients and prospects. Zapier: This tool handles all the heavy lifting behind the scenes. Automating repetitive tasks is essential for saving time, and Zapier helps me seamlessly connect everything. It’s like having a personal assistant that ensures all my systems communicate effectively. Of course, there’s always room for improvement in our setups. That's why I'd love to know what tools you can't live without while running your business!

Sooooo myself and @Darnell Graham were talking about communities and such and had a thought that it would be cool to have a leaderboard, visible to only the owners of the community, or admins too even, of communities. For me, I am in finance, I know I am currently #300, but I have no idea who is 299 or 301. Might be kind of cool to see who's who.
