    If you own a business that has complex selling processes or requires integrations with 3rd party tools/systems, you should look at Professional, Enterprise, or Unlimited editions. Salesforce operates very well across pretty much every industry, but not all sales, marketing, and operational processes are created equal. If your marketing process requires a long list of sendable contacts then I would recommend adding on Pardot or Hubspot. Always start small and scale up, to avoid boxing yourself in down the road.

    It is great for making proposals, sending invoices and for keeping time. It is also a great CRM tool. I love the business card scanner in the app.

    Pros
    Salesforce
    • Tracking phone calls is extremely easy when using the app on the iphone. After a phone call is complete it prompts the user to enter in call details.
    • SalesforceIQ also automatically logs emails for us. This has saved us time from entering in information manually.
    • SalesforceIQ was easy to set up and allowed us customization for fields that were relevant to our business.

    Cons
    Salesforce
    • Table views can be sorted by column. Filters can be applied, but only to one column. Multi-column filtering like Excel allows would be extremely useful and a big improvement.
    • The ability to quick copy data in a table view would also be helpful, like (ctrl ') in excel.

    • Synching contacts between iPhone and Teamleader could be easier.
    • Integration with Aweber would be great.

    Usability
    Salesforce
    The system is very user-friendly on a desktop but lacks mobile friendliness. The Customer relationship manager disappears after the deal is signed. We struggled to get the system in a usable format, which was not cost-effective. The CRM system on desktop was great but way more complicated than it should be.

    Very effective team. If ANYTHING occurs their assistance is pretty much immediate. They take longer by email but it works everytime.

    more expensive but as an industry leader and go, the learning curve pays for itself in ROI in lost time in onboarding

    Act-On I used for a client. It is more a marketing automation tool than a CRM solution and it is also more suited for bigger organizations.

    Return on Investment
    Salesforce
    • It made the job more efficient for staff so they can spend time doing other tasks rather than configuring and maintaining Salesforce Starter.

    • Positive: invoices are easy to pay thanks to the direct link, invoices are mostly paid timely
    • Positive: it is easy to monitor deals and proposals. When followed up timely, more opportunities become deals.
