a program for sales? you mean you guys in sales actually track and analyze?

i dunno what they use where i am at grainger. they gave me a territory, a book of biz, and all i do is pound the phones and drive business.

Salegoodce is good but is meant for medium to large business and it can be expensive. But by far the best and most available.

As an alternative look into sugarcrm. Haven't tried it but heard good things.

Disclaimer. I'm not in sales but know software.

No need to spend the big bucks on the fancy stuff for simple tracking of leads, calls and followups

Buy ACT! for about $100 or get a free copy download, it's straightforward and simple and gets the job done without any fancy bs that most salespeople won't use anyway

when you get into salesforce and other more intense software, much of the design is for management to see if the team is actually working
