Love Pipedrive but my costs are adding up fast
I don't really understand why I have to use other platforms for my email campaigns. I kid you not when I tell you I use 43 different programs and apps for my real estate business. Thank the Lord I don't have to pay for all of them but I still spend a ton. Being an independent agent and shoveling out money for CRM, Automation, Phone Sync, and who knows what else I use... it is just very expensive and not easy to set up.

It's very important that we all figure out what matters most with managing business processes. Sometimes we want to be able to do certain things and spend money to make them reality but in the end they bring little value or there would have been another way to achieve the same result without spending more money.
You probably don't 'need' to spend more for your email campaigns. But using a 3rd party like Mailigen or Mailchimp will allow for data tracking and some other bells and whistles. But do you really need it? For you to decide. Can you design your email campaigns around using the group emailing feature in Pipedrive professional, probably.
Sounds like you need to take some time in the new year to review your 'Technology stack' you use to run your business. Keep it simple.
It's the golden age of subscription software and most people don't see how fast $14 or more a month can add up when you are paying for multiple seats.
Price deflation IMO is inevitable. It's a gold rush right now.

The least number of emails i send to a particular segment is 8. I don't even recall seeing Mailigen. You just made me a very happy person. Thank you!
