    sales-i
    More Appropriate Scenarios: 1. It helps in visualizing opportunities with our customers that help us strategize and execute good sales activities to drive our business. 2. It helps in improving the flow of communication between the different departments. 3. It is extremely easy to log call notes and schedule future calls so we never miss an opportunity to reach out to our customers and get the sale. 4. We can create reports that show where my sales are up, and down. It allows me to focus on customers that are down in specific categories and pinpoints the exact products. Less Appropriate Scenarios: 1. The pipeline is very basic which is a bit of a let-down as this is a function we require so have to use a stand-alone product for this. 2. Difficult to pull specific information about a group of customers.
