“Systems work… until they don’t.”
It’s a truth every membership team learns eventually
That spreadsheet you inherited? It was fine, until 2,000 members turned into 20,000.
The email platform with “light CRM features”? It kind of worked, until you needed to segment by tier, renewal date, and engagement.
Most membership organisations don’t start with the wrong system. They just outgrow the right one, without noticing.
That’s when cracks start to show:
- Manual onboarding that misses people
- Generic emails that don’t speak to anyone
- Frustration from your team, and your members
You’re not broken.
The way you manage your membership is
If you’re managing a membership organisation, you already know the challenge:
- Dozens (or thousands) of members
- Multiple touchpoints, tiers, and benefits
- One overworked team trying to hold it all together
A membership CRM system should be the backbone of your engagement strategy. But too often, it’s just another admin headache, built for someone else’s needs, filled with outdated data, and barely connected to your real-world workflows.
So let’s fix that.
What a Membership CRM System Should Actually Do
At a minimum, your CRM should help you:
- Track your members by type, tier, and journey stage
- Personalise communications based on behaviour or interests
- Automate onboarding, renewals, and reminders
- Connect with your email, event, or payment tools
- Give your team a single, reliable source of truth
If that doesn’t sound like your current setup… you’re not alone.
Signs Your Membership CRM Is Letting You Down
- You still rely on spreadsheets for key segments
- Everyone has “their version” of the contact list
- Onboarding new members is a manual grind
- Communications feel generic, and engagement is flat
- Reporting to leadership takes too long (and feels too fuzzy)
This isn’t about blaming your team. It’s about recognising that structure creates capacity.
