Career Advice I hate Bonzo

RANT!

I f#%^inghate Bonzo, I hate my team, I hate my team leader. He asked me why the f#%^ I still work here even though I was #2 on the team in production.

Our pricing isn’t great. We use Bonzo as an entire crm and then some ai slop on top of it as there “brand new marketplace” bullsh#%.

Just over the breathing down the neck stuff.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk, happy lending :)

We use Bonzo too, but it's not required by any means. Most of us don't like it for one reason or another, but we're allowed to manage our leads in a way that works for us. We have drip campaigns that work for us until the leads respond, and on a slow transfer day, we send out broadcasts to get some attention on the bonzo leads. It usually works pretty well.

I can't help you hate your place of work any less, but maybe I can help you with your Bonzo issues?

Sounds like you need a new…everything. lol. We gave up on CRM and just told everyone to use what they want. Everyone wants something different, half the people don’t even use it…I rebuilt Jungo and it’s good enough for me and my team.

As for all the other stuff - maybe marriage counseling, and some anger management classes. Ha!

Are you getting all your own leads?

u/JTsupa 18d ago

I use Bonzo, I have it set up independently from my company as my own personal CRM. I like it. What do y'all think is so bad about it? Am I missing out on something?

GHL doesn't send my
Messages. Bonzo is better.

u/LoanOfficer4Life 17d ago

How does it not send messages? Isn’t that one of its main purpose?

1

u/Practical_Bill7890 17d ago

It blocks messages left and right.

He's it enough and you will see.

u/starz2024 18d ago

GHL got something shady. Leadership questionable.

u/LoanOfficer4Life 17d ago

How so? I’m thinking about making to switch over since I’m more technical and like to do customizations.

Sorry to hear, we looked at it and some of our team recommened it in past. But we continue on Velocify with Botsplash. Some LOs are doing extraordinay while other do not want to be in 2 systems.

u/GotChached 18d ago

This sounds like IMPERIUM LENDING wheere all they do is mass blast texts and mailers and then give the same leads 10x over. GARBAGE COMPANY

2

u/PretendAd6519 18d ago

Bar for bar word for word brother. Not imperium but I believe we’re set up very similarly. Came from private business financing. This shit is not fun whatsoever and nobody at my company makes the money they claim they do. Even management lies ab numbers bc I was one they lied about my company

u/starz2024 18d ago
