All SMBs are Not Created Equal – And Neither Should Their CRMs
No small business is the same.
Then why are today’s CRMs and sales platforms designed as if they were?
Today’s platforms don’t cater to SMBs’ unique needs. They’re expensive, need technical expertise, can’t integrate with systems SMBs currently use, cause staff to duplicate tasks or have too much or too little functionality. This makes it impossible to know which steps to take and when to close deals today and achieve business goals in the long run.
PipelineDeals overcomes this.
