Is Your Membership Software Vendor a Friend or Foe?

The Joy of Membership Podcast

No matter how great your membership software is, without reliable and honest customer service, you'll be left dissatisfied. I've been listening to many issues from clients and new inquiries about their current software vendor, and it makes me sad that a tool (designed to HELP) is truly causing more issues within an organization.
If you think you may be in a bad relationship with your membership software vendor, I'm sharing some red flag signs it's time to break it off and find something that truly serves you, your organization, and your members. Take a listen, and let me know if you're needing some recommendations on the software options available!
