It’s true – most CRM’s and membership platforms are overcomplicated, packed with unnecessary features, and difficult to set up. Here’s why that happens and what an ideal easy CRM for digital products should look like.
Why Are CRM’s & Membership Platforms So Overcomplicated?
- Built for Large Enterprises – Most CRM’s (like Salesforce, HubSpot) are designed for big companies with complex sales pipelines. Small businesses selling digital products don’t need all those bells and whistles.
- Feature Bloat – Platforms try to be “one-size-fits-all,” adding too many features that most users never touch.
- Steep Learning Curves – Too many dashboards, settings and integrations make it overwhelming for solopreneurs or small teams.
- Expensive & Overpriced – Many CRM’s charge high monthly fees for features digital product creators don’t even need.
- Not Designed for Digital Products – Most CRM’s are built for physical products or services, not seamless digital sales, subscriptions, or memberships.
What Would an Easy CRM for Digital Products Look Like?
✅ Simple & Clean Dashboard – No unnecessary tabs, just essential insights: which customer purchased which product.
✅ Seamless Integrations – Works with WooCommerce, without complicated setup.
✅ Membership & Management – Easy-to-use portal for customers to access content.
✅ Lightweight & Affordable – No enterprise pricing, just a simple, cost-effective solution.
Why Doesn’t This Exist (Yet)?
There are some tools (like Podia, Kajabi, and ThriveCart Learn), but they still have limitations. Most existing solutions are either:
- Too focused on marketing & landing pages (like Kajabi).
- Too expensive for what they offer.
- Lacking proper CRM features (just overcomplicated membership tools).
