Keep Your Systems Simple: Start With the Minimum Viable CRM
Frazier explains that you don’t need every “bell and whistle” promoted by influencers and urges listeners to keep systems simple enough to use consistently. He invites listeners to join Wednesday’s Mortgage Mornings and a free Green Zone workshop at 1:00 PM Eastern with Darren Copeland and Jim Bell from Insource, especially relevant for broker owners, with links in the show notes. Drawing from an Accelerate call, he notes that any CRM or tool has a learning curve, that people often don’t give a new system time before shopping for another, and that expecting a fully customized, out-of-the-box solution without effort is unrealistic. He recommends identifying a minimal viable setup, starting with basics like contacts, notes, and tasks (even via spreadsheet), building habits and routines first, then layering in tools to avoid bouncing between systems and wasting money.
