Moxie vs Dubsado: An ADHD-Friendly CRM Comparison

Running a business when you’re neurodivergent can feel like trying to juggle while riding a unicycle… blindfolded. Sound familiar? You’re drowning in admin, losing track of clients, and that infamous ADHD tax? Yeah, it’s getting expensive.

Enter your new business bestie: a CRM system. Think of it as your virtual assistant who never sleeps, never forgets, and actually enjoys keeping track of All The Things™.

Look, I get it. The thought of choosing and setting up a CRM might make you want to hide under your desk (or is that just me?).

But here’s the tea: the right CRM can transform your business from “duck paddling frantically underwater” to “actually having your life together” – and who doesn’t want that?

Why Every Business (Especially Your Neurospicy One) Needs a CRM:

• No more playing detective in your email inbox trying to find that one client conversation from… was it last month? Last year?
  
• Automations that do the boring stuff while you focus on the exciting things (hello, new hyperfocus project!)
  
• A central place for everything so you can stop using your brain as a filing cabinet (we both know how that’s working out)

Key Features That’ll Make Your ADHD Brain Happy

Let’s be real – you don’t need a CRM that requires a PhD in rocket science to operate. Here’s what actually matters:

• A setup that doesn’t make you want to throw your laptop out the window (user-friendly is the name of the game, babe!)
• Automations that actually work (because manually sending follow-up emails is SO last season)
• Everything in one place (goodbye, 47 different tabs and sticky notes everywhere)
  

Think of it this way: your CRM should work like that super-organised friend who always has their life together – but without the judgey vibes.

Dubsado vs. Moxie: The Showdown

Okay, let’s break this down into something that actually makes sense (no tech jargon, I promise!):

Dubsado is like that friend who’s got a fancy planner with colour-coded tabs and stickers. Perfect for you if:

• You love making things look pretty (those proposals? chef’s kiss)
• You want workflows that can handle literally anything
• You’re ready to make your business look expensive AF

Moxie is more like that friend who keeps it simple but gets stuff DONE. You’ll love it if:

• You want something that just works (without the setup headaches)
• You’re after a gorgeous client portal that’s ready to roll
• You’d rather spend time on your business than figuring out your CRM

Not sure which one’s your soulmate? Take my quiz! It’s like a dating app, but for finding your perfect CRM match (and way less awkward).

How to Choose Your Perfect CRM (Without the Overwhelm)

Look, I know decision-making isn’t always our strong suit (hello, executive dysfunction!), so let’s break this down into bite-sized pieces:

Get Real About Your Pain Points
What’s actually driving you crazy right now? Maybe you’re:

• Forgetting to follow up with leads (ouch!)
• Losing track of who’s paid and who hasn’t
• Manually copying and pasting the same email for the 47th time Write it down, babe – knowing what’s not working is half the battle!

Think About Your Budget (and Future You)
Sure, you could go for the cheapest option now, but let’s think bigger:

• What can you actually afford? (No manifestation required)
• Will it grow with your business?
• Is it worth investing more now to save your sanity later?

Focus on the Must-Haves
Like going to the grocery store hungry, it’s easy to get distracted by shiny features you’ll never use. Stick to what you actually need:

• Client tracking that makes sense
• Automations that don’t require a computer science degree
• A dashboard that doesn’t make your eyes glaze over

Take It For a Test Drive
Most CRMs offer free trials – use them! It’s like dating… you wouldn’t marry someone without at least having coffee first, right?
