Relate alternative

Relate alternative — a CRM for field sales outside B2B SaaS

Relate is a simple B2B sales CRM that fits B2B SaaS startups' pipeline, prospecting, and customer success well. But field sales that isn't 'SaaS selling' — insurance, auto, real estate, education, coaching — works differently. BOTN takes over follow-up, booking, quote, and contract execution for these industries. Where the other product fits is written below too.

How it works

  1. 1

    Step 1 · Move contacts and pick an industry

    Export CSV from Relate or Excel, import into BOTN, and pick an industry — insurance, auto, real estate, education — to start with stages, tags, and sequences prefilled.

  2. 2

    Step 2 · Execute in the field

    Take consult, test-drive, and viewing bookings via public links and capture notes by voice on-site. Send quotes and e-signed contracts in one flow.

  3. 3

    Step 3 · Continue revenue with follow-up

    Set follow-up sequences for delivery, maturity, and renewal to turn a closed client into repeat and referral business. See today's contacts on the home screen.

Same 'B2B,' different selling

B2B SaaS sales is a standard demo→trial→onboarding pipeline. Insurance renewals, post-delivery checks, listing matching, and academy consult conversion differ by industry in stage and timing. Forcing them into a SaaS pipeline loses the field.

Where Relate fits less

With a strong B2B SaaS message and flow, non-SaaS industries lack default templates and examples. Execution non-SaaS sales needs — mobile field capture, voice notes, quotes, e-signed contracts, SMS campaigns — may be limited.

Where BOTN takes over

BOTN provides industry pipeline, tag, and sequence templates and executes mobile field capture, voice notes, quotes, e-signed contracts, and SMS campaigns in one place. Public booking links take consult, test-drive, and viewing appointments directly.

  • Industry templates: insurance, auto, real estate, education, coaching
  • Mobile field capture & voice notes
  • Quotes, e-signed contracts, SMS/email campaigns
  • Public booking links for consults, test-drives, viewings

How you migrate

Export contacts from Relate or Excel as CSV, import into BOTN, and start a pipeline from an industry template. Send quotes and contracts, and set follow-up sequences for delivery, maturity, and renewal timing.

FAQ

Is BOTN bad for B2B sales?

B2B works too. But BOTN is sharper for field sales where stages and timing differ by industry (insurance, auto, real estate, education) than for a standard SaaS pipeline.

Can I move data from Relate?

Yes. Export CSV from Relate or Excel and import with BOTN's mapping. It auto-detects name, phone, email, company and flags duplicates.

How do industry templates start?

Pick an industry — insurance, auto, real estate, education, coaching — and start with pipeline stages, tags, and follow-up sequence examples prefilled. Edit on top of that right away.

Can BOTN be used for B2B SaaS sales too?

It can. But if a flow optimized for a standard SaaS pipeline and prospecting is the core, Relate fits better. BOTN is strong at field-sales execution that differs by industry.

Can I edit industry templates?

Yes. Freely edit the prefilled pipeline stages, tags, and sequences to match your sales.
