Below is each factor with York's figure and where it ranks; see the chimney sweep industry page, the York market page, pricing, features and the case study for how Full Loop CRM handles the operations side.

That is among the lowest of the markets we cover (7th percentile of 401 markets). The typical market we cover sits at 56%.
