While social media is an extremely popular tool for agency new business (used by 87% of agencies), only 18% think it’s effective.

And can you guess what the most over-rated of all the social media tools used for new business is? If you guessed Facebook, you’re correct.

It’s too personal and not useful for prospecting.

Any guess on the most over-rated CRM?

Agencies tell us it’s Salesforce.

They think it’s too complex, too expensive, and not designed for the agency world.

And the most over-rated presentation software? Prezi.

Agencies complain of it crashing, it being too distracting, and too hard to edit.

With so many new business tools popping up every day, how does one know what’s best for their agency’s new business needs?
