8 Questions Every Matchmaker Asks about Matchmaking CRM

When choosing matchmaking CRM software, matchmakers normally want a simple, affordable, secure, and private electronic database that just works. A slick design, good customer service, and a simple-to-use interface is all they need to get going. But finding the right matchmaking CRM can still be a hard task. So, what do you need to know to make sure you get the software and support that you need?

Introduction to Matchmaking CRM

Here’s the first thing we learned when we got into this game: Matchmaking is not just a job, it’s a passion.

Matchmaking is not an easy job, software can break, clients can be difficult, any number of things can go wrong. The only way to succeed as a matchmaker is to be passionate about it.

True matchmakers love matching people, simple as that. Be it matching for business, for retail, or for love, a matchmaker finds joy in building connections and making introductions. Unlike many other industries, a matchmaker is happy when you don’t need them anymore, because it means they matched you right.

When it comes to technology and CRM, though, many matchmakers may not really know what to do. They are experts in connections, not technology and programming, so they need to be certain they can rely on the vendors who supply them with software and CRM solutions.
