Will Garcia however was in search of a tool that could combine the different services he needed and was looking for more independence regarding his campaign. He wanted to have full control over his field operations and his data in order to better drive his campaign around his views and objectives.

“The most important thing for a field operation is keeping your committed people engaged”.
And creating actions with Qomon was a way to do that.

The possibility to cut turf and how well it worked for big apartments was a real game changer. And the way I could control and manage easily my import and export in your CRM was a massive time saver as well.“
“Also the different integrations, especially with Zapier, proved to be really useful and valuable for us.”
