EMail Parrot

Lightweight CRM for Small Biz

Simpler, Cheaper Client & Customer Management

Micro and small business owners are stretched thin—CRMs like HubSpot ($30/mo) or Salesforce ($25/user/mo) add cost and complexity you don’t need. EMail Parrot (EMP) turns your email into a lightweight CRM, unifies client comms, collects customer feedback, tracks leads, and more. At $5/mo per group, it’s simpler (email-native, no app), cheaper, and less time-consuming (10-min setup) than any CRM. Hide member emails with pseudonyms (~john.team@emparrot.com), is deployable on your domain or ours, and enables relationship management right in your inbox. Start free—grow without the hassle.

CRM Features with EMail Parrot

EMail Parrot’s reflector makes email a powerful CRM tool for small biz—here’s how it handles your client and customer needs at a fraction of the cost.

• Client Communications (Virtual Team Email)
  Use team@emparrot.com (or team@emp.yourdomain.com) to manage team-client emails. Clients email the group, your team coordinates internally (~john.team@ to members), and replies go out from your company email (e.g., team@yourdomain.com). A contractor can discuss client needs with the team, reply professionally—no BCC mess, no app to learn.


• Customer Feedback (Anonymous Online Focus Groups)
  Gather insights with focusgroup@emparrot.com—customers email anonymously, team members reply internally as ~user1.focusgroup@. A startup can run an interactive email discussion, collect feedback, and act fast—all for $5/mo, not SurveyMonkey’s $25/mo. Anonymity ensures honest responses, no forms needed.


• Build Customer Trust (Anonymous Comms)
  With support@emp.yourdomain.com (or myco-support@emparrot.com), customers email you, and unified replies keep team emails hidden. This builds trust—80% of customers value privacy (Verizon 2024). A retailer can handle queries, encouraging honest feedback without exposure.


• Lead Capture and Follow-Up
  Set up leads@emp.yourdomain.com—prospects email, your team replies. A consultant can add leads@emp.yourdomain.com to their website, track responses in Gmail with labels, and follow up—no forms or CRM needed.


• Lightweight Support Ticketing
  Use client.support@emp.yourdomain.com for client issues—team replies, threads stay in your inbox. A small business can manage support queries by client, using Gmail’s “star” or labels as tickets. At $5/mo, it’s a steal compared to Zendesk’s $19/user/mo.  Note: Clients must email the subgroup (client.support@)—parent group (support@) risks cross-client exposure.  However, many client questions are answerable by your other customers …


• Client-to-Client Support (User-to-User Support)
  Let clients answer each other’s questions via discussions@—anonymity (~client1.discussions@) enables safe, interactive support. A small biz can reduce support load by fostering a pan-client forum—all in email, no app.


• Collaboration on Client Needs
  With client@emp.yourdomain.com, your team emails clients, and all see replies (~john.clients@ to members), and replies go out to every member’s email. A startup can discuss a lead, align on a response, and stay unified—no CRM login, just email history.


• Basic Email Campaigns
  Run promos with outreach@emp.yourdomain.com—email customers, track replies in one inbox. A consultant can email 50 clients a promo, see who responds, and follow up—all for $5/mo, not Constant Contact’s $20/mo. EMP strips trackers, keeping it private.


• Customer Segmentation
  Create subgroups like vip.support@emparrot.com or hot.leads@emparrot.com to segment clients. A small biz can email top clients via vip.support@, prospects via hot.leads@—$5/mo per group, subgroups are free. Start with one group to keep costs low, scale as needed. Be cautious: Clients emailing the parent (support@) may share info across segments.

Why EMP Beats Traditional CRMs

EMP’s email-driven approach is built for overworked small biz owners who need results, not headaches.

• Simpler: No app or dashboard—use Gmail, Yahoo, or any email client. Your inbox becomes your CRM—no training needed.
• Cheaper: At $5/mo per group, EMP saves you $180-$1800/year compared to CRMs like HubSpot ($30/mo) or Salesforce ($25/user/mo).
• Less Time: Setup takes 10 minutes (configuring DNS records another 10)—no onboarding, no hours lost. Sign up and create a list completely online.
• Not Dependent on Other Tools: EMP anonymizes addresses—no company email setup needed. Flex workers use their existing emails and join the team.
• Privacy-First: Pseudonyms (~john.team@) hide team emails, and AWS SES cuts spam and viruses—solving 80% of small biz privacy concerns (Verizon 2024).
• Unified & Scalable: One address (team@emp) looks pro, cuts clutter (70% pain), and scales with more groups as needed.

EMP delivers CRM essentials without the bloat—focus on your business, not your tools.
