@Danny Mallinder Totally understand but just because they have an affiliate program doesn't discount it's value, if anything it makes it easier to transfer marketing assets over to people that use your link. I've used all sorts of CRM's including Salesforce and hubspot with enterprise sales. If you're a beginner entrepreneur especially in the sales and marketing space there is only one main thing you should be focused on though 'Getting Leads' - 'Converting Leads Into Sales'. Pipedrive did this best with a simple kanban board and now most other new CRM's replicate that. The big problem with Pipedrive and others was the need to pay 'yet another' software to connect in for stuff like texting / calling with higher cost per minutes (Unless you personally knew how to code Twilio in) GHL has been the main competitor now to solve this huge problem in the marketplace using a simple kanban board to funnel leads into and create nurture campaigns to convert those leads into sales recording calls and messages all under the one software, which is still why I believe with no bias it's better than the others mentioned here.
