## Why Real Estate Teams Leave Follow Up Boss (And Don’t Look Back)

### It’s just a CRM. Bring your wallet for the rest.

FUB forces teams to cobble together third-party tools, sites and integrations that rarely play nice and force you to pay for multiple tools to complete your tech stack.

### Automations feel more manual than smart.

FUB’s version of automations isn’t the same as Sierra’s version of automations. FUB provides linear, basic automation sequences. Sierra’s automations trigger intelligently and adapt to lead behavior in real time.

### Disconnected systems create distractions.

Stitching together a tech stack means more time on systems, less time on sales.

## Where Follow Up Boss Falls Short and Sierra Steps Up

-   ### Automations That Actually Work
    
    Follow Up Boss automations are linear and basic. Sierra’s event-based workflows route leads, apply tags, update statuses, trigger follow-up and more, automating action where it matters most.
    
-   ### Built-In Website + IDX = Higher Conversions
    
    With FUB, you’re stitching together a website from a third party, often with limited customization and poor SEO. With Sierra, you get a native website and high-performing IDX search that’s built to convert and optimized to rank from day one, no extra integrations required.
