About Sage CRM

Sage CRM is a single source for all your customer management needs. The system helps integrate marketing, sales, customer service, and customer information tools together in an entirely web-based package. Why is that so valuable?

Consider a typical office environment:

• Someone takes a phone call for a representative in a different department and forgets to tell them. Result? A lost opportunity.
• Your desk is littered with sticky notes reminding you to do things, but what do you have to do today?
• Sales and customer service both work with the same customers, but use separate systems—or none at all. No one has a clear idea what has been happening with that customer recently.
• Different sales teams are pursuing different agendas, so you can't see what is in the pipeline.
• A customer phones up, irate that his simple query hasn't been answered yet. But that should have been dealt with.

Sage CRM can bring it all together. With Sage CRM, you can complete the following tasks:
