Membermeister has saved me lots of time with its shared access to the registers for teachers which makes it easy to let them know of any extras or missing people in class withought me having to fill their inboxes. If you invoice then this is easy to do in bulk. A great bit of software to help Ballet schools!

Pros

Ease of use; great support from helpful team on the end of a phone; the step by step videos are great! shared access to the registers with teachers which makes it easy to let them know of any extras or missing people in class.

Cons

It doesn’t quite fit my workflow process

They are very quick to get back to you and very helpful, the other very well know and used systems I have used alongside Membermeister have not been so quick to help, particularly those with very complicated set ups. They say that they will talk you through it but all you get is a youtube link and a brief printed outline.

Pros

I have tried various CRM systems for dance schools and some of them offer far more options than Membermeister, however you still cannot beat the simplicity of the system and anyone can use this system straight away. It is not complex to set up and you can be up and running in a matter of minuets, saving a great deal of time. I have run three CRM systems alongside Membermeister over the last couple of years and paying twice but it was important for me to get the right system for both myself and my staff., most importantly my staff. I work with computers and programmes all day long and know my way around software so I can use the more complicated systems but it is my staff who also have to use it daily and Membermesiter is the one they love the most.

Cons

They do not have as many features as other CRM systems and they are not as cheap as others, but they seem to be adding more and more features on a regular basis without changing the way the front end looks so for my staff it is great for them.

Reviewed on 2022/01/26

Pros

Easy to use software, helps keep track of outstanding invoicing and check cash flow. Good for monitoring student attendance.

Cons

It would be helpful if the 'Items and Discounts' feature items could be alphabetised, as searching for certain items when invoicing can be time consuming when they are listed randomly.

Also, gender roles could be revised to add non binary to the list.

Great Software for Running a Dance Business

Reviewed on 2017/01/22

I have been using Membermeister for approximately 6 months since taking over a small dance school. My first invoice run when taking over the school took me several hours using standard spreadsheet software and was very stressful. My accountant suggested that I tried Membermeister as a way of saving time on my invoicing and keeping track of the finances. I first met with the support staff who showed me through the software's features. He was so helpful with answering all my questions and gave a slick presentation. Invoicing now is so easy, all I do is select which classes need an invoice and in a few clicks, the invoices are all prepared. It's very easy to keep track of who has paid and send reminders to those who haven't.

If I ever have any problems with the software or forget how to use any of the features the support staff is always quick to reply on the online chat. Suggestions on how to get the most out of the software are always given. If there are any features that aren't quite working for you or you have any suggestions for things that would make the software work better they are always open to hearing. I'm often finding messages in my inbox with news of updates based on customer suggestions.

A great piece of software that saves me so much time and helps me to keep on top of my business.

Pros

Save me so much time when creating multiple invoices.

Cons

I've had issues with the printable registers. I run classes from a church hall without wifi so am not able to use the online versions. The support staff, however, has been very helpful with coming up with ideas of how best to using the register functions of the software.

Very positive and would recommend to anyone who needs a programme that manages everything effectively for them!

Pros

They’re a great team to work with and it has all the functions you could ask for! I can’t really fault this software as without it I would not be able to run my school as I do! It doesn’t everything you could want and is really easy to use.

Cons

This is hard as there’s not much I dislike! You do have to pay for it but in my eyes, it’s all totally worth it

We were still stuck using spread sheets for registers and databases for records- it was out dated, time consuming and meant it all had to be done by one person. Options we looked out were either way too expensive and would be painful in the transition. We were recommended Membermeister and the user friendly interface, the easy transition and value for money made it an obvious choice for us.
The team at Membermeister are efficient, adaptable and are constantly making improvements to the system so that you can get the most out of it. At our organisation everyone has remarked on how easy it is, we have saved so much time, our parents enjoy the electronic receipts and we are constantly learning how to use more functions on it.

We would highly recommend Membermeister to a similar organisation.

Pros

I like the fact that we can now take payments directly into the bank, they are recorded accurately and I can see exactly who owes money

Cons

The only drawback is that have a complicated way of giving discount and the system doesn't quite allow for that, but it does allow to give discounts in other ways, I have just chose not to change at the moment.

Membermeister has transformed how efficient our business is and evolved with us as we have grown. It's so simple to use and enables us to easily track our students, class registers, timetables, invoices and messaging in one place. All our staff have their own username and different levels of access for security and we can use it on our mobile phones, tablets or laptop. Fantastic value for money and once we tried it we could never go back to how we used to manage.

This system has made life so much easier for our ballet & stage schools. Paul & Stefan made set up so easy. Their support is fantastic as I can either message them or phone - they get back to you really quickly. I love Stefan's video tutorials when I can't remember how to do something.

Pros

Easy to set up, really easy to use & tracks all our students, classes & payments effortlessly.

Cons

It would be nice to have our 2 schools' pages open on the browser at the same time. This isn't possible at the moment.
When looking back at sent messages it would be helpful to see the pdf attachment that was sent as well.

Thanks for the great review Sarah. A quick tip for keeping both of your accounts open at the same time: use two different browsers, say Chrome for one account and Firefox for the other. That way you can stay logged in to both.

The software looks great- it has such an easy to read aesthetic that makes invoicing, timetabling and enrolling students clear and efficient. The individual personalised support you receive from the team is incredible. They are always available to help you through any problems.

Cons

The price of the software is slightly more than other competitors,; however, having never used another system I'm unsure if this is fair or not. I would say the service you receive from Membermeister is very good. I was able to receive an introductory offer on the pricing which has made it affordable for me. Without this offer I'm unsure if it would have been as tempting.

I absolutely love this software. It’s multifunctional and does everything you need to. It’s perfect for my dance school and there’s actually not much I can fault

Cons

The only thing I would alter is that when you send the invoice it goes to the child’s name rather than the parents name. Which is ok as it’s about the child, but ultimately it’s the Parent that’s paying.

Pros

Creates everything for you. All the invoices. Can resend messages by clicking one you have sent before, easy to send messages to particular classes too.

Cons

If you add someone to a class later in a term. And build the invoice yourself rather than going to invoice all terms it still thinks that you need to invoice them. And leaves and exclamation point next to that class.
