CRM System for Sales automation

5.0 2 months ago New

Comments: overall i am using this software from last 6 months, we opted for 10 users licenses, previously we were not using any other crm systems, now after using Salesforce we auotmated the task and sales automation also able to gather all our leads and contact information at one place which is helping us tracking all our contacts. also lead management is quiet easier it gave you notification when any new lead came to system from digital campaigns etc. by using this crm our business is reaching new heights and able to increase our sales conversion ratio by 60%. definitely its a very good crm system

Pros:

i liked sales automation where it automates the repetitive tasks such as remainders and followups and lead prioritization functionality i really liked it. which is saving a lot of time of mine

Cons:

learning curve is very high, due to more number of features and customizations. per user License cost is also high as compared to other CRM provider in the market.

Salesforce for larger scale operations

4.0 2 weeks ago New

Comments: Very good, love the tool and have seen it be used successfully in many places, however if you are a smaller business I would lean towards a cheaper alternative.

Pros:

Salesforce sales cloud is an incredibly powerful CRM that has a wide range of features, functionality and customisation to fit most sales environments. Having used the product for 5 years now I have seen simply how powerful it can be in adapting to any and every sales process

Cons:

The complexity - the level of customisation comes with a price that Salesforce is generally quite hard to manage, and it doesn't solve basic issues whilst solving complex ones that I often don't ever find a use case for.
