MenuWhat is a good CRM for remote salesperson that tracks what they are doing every minute
Answers
Properly set up Salesforce CRM with Saleforce Mobile would do this.
DUDE: YOU NEED A DIFFERENT SALES REP (OR MORE THERAPY)...
Let me be candid with you. This is a completely fucked up approach to driving new revenue. I've grown sales in (3) different companies by more than 1000% per year AND I've been CEO of a company that operated at that level.
Any sales rep who allows themselves to be monitored like this is full of shit -- and will never hit your mark. Frankly, you owe it to yourself to rise above this sort of bullshit thinking. Fire your "high base" rep today and start over. It's better for him (or her) and it's better for you too.
Take your goals for revenue creation and divide them by 10. That's your likely output for year 1. Take your deadlines for revenue creation and multiply them by 3. That's how long it's actually going to take.
ACTIVITY is for chumps. YES -- you do need an executive who puts in massive amounts of hard work on your behalf. BUT you also need a partner who will grab a sword and fight by your side to win the battle -- that means you shouldn't need to pay an outrageous;y high base salary.
Great sales execs buy into your passion and vision. You're not a whore. So lead and inspire -- instead of just paying for services.
ONE MORE THING: I can make a few calls and point a few amazing sales executives to you. But I want to make sure you're not a "head case" boss. Your question has me worried about YOU.
(Send me a message through Clarity and we'll discuss if I should point a few superstars your way)
I will agree that "every minute" is completely the wrong way to look at it. You should focus on results and activities (calls made, emails sent, etc.) rather than minimizing minutes in the bathroom.
That said, we did build Close.io < http://close.io/ > to track all activities *automatically* (phone calls, emails sent and received), which makes it much more likely for you to get an accurate report of all their activity, etc.
We recommend Capsule, It is not as automated as infusionsoft, plus it does not include any automated market channels, you have to use a third party application for this, however it is simpler and easier to onboard sales staff remotely into learning the platform and up taking 80% of the functionality as compared to infusionsoft. Plus the pricing point at $12.00 per month US per user is far better pricing.
Fully cloud based, works on all devices.

I understand your need for a robust CRM that can comprehensively track your remote salesperson's activities. It sounds like you need a system that goes beyond what Infusionsoft offers, especially in terms of detailed daily tracking and reporting.
One solution might be to create your own CRM tailored to your specific needs. This would allow you to include all the features you mentioned, such as automatic tracking of workday activities, sales pipeline updates, and detailed daily reports. By developing a custom CRM, you can ensure it runs smoothly on both desktop and Android devices and minimizes the need for manual data entry.
I recommend checking out this article: https://www.cleveroad.com/blog/how-to-build-your-own-custom-crm-system/. It provides a comprehensive guide on how to create a CRM that meets your unique requirements. The article covers essential aspects such as key features, development steps, and tools that can help you build a CRM that perfectly suits your business needs.
Creating your own CRM might seem daunting, but with the right guidance and resources, it could be the most effective way to get exactly what you need.

What are good options for CRM and some basic marketing automation for our startup? Single product or multiple through Zapier/existing integrations.
Great Question! I see you are not looking to spend too much money on this so my recommendation would be to use free tools that will only cost you the time you take to set them up yourselves. 1. Accommodating contacts (engaged vs not engaged, segmenting, custom fields and flexible reporting). For this I would recommend you use Podio. It is free for up to five users and will let you do all that and more. You can set up your templates with all the fields you want (drag & drop) and they are completely dynamic so you are welcome to change them at any point in time. 2. One Place to See All Interactions. I would use Mandrill (from the makers of Mailchimp) to send and track all mail related interactions. They have webhooks that you can use to create all sorts of custom workflows behind the scenes. Of course this also means you can integrate it with Podio's excellent API to keep all your data in the same place. Eventually you could even code in a workflow that would drip customized your content to subscribers using Mandrill. Essentially removing any need for additional software. Best of luck! And let me know if you have any more questions!AJ

What terms re-sellers use for selling SaaS?
A reseller typically purchases the SaaS at a discounted price and bill their client directly. I've seen reseller discounts range between 10% and 50%. The discount should be competitive with your industry, and allow a reasonable ROI for resellers. The reseller discount is typically for the life of the user otherwise expect resellers to offer their clients a competitor's SaaS. An affiliate or partner program that pays a commission for referring clients creates a direct relationship between your company and the users. In these types of programs, your commission could be a one-time payout upon referral, a recurring % of sale for the first year, or a recurring % of sale for the life of the client.MK

Is it OK to end services or support when a customer did not pay the cost of services/support or did not renewal contract in software industry?
If I understand you correctly, you're saying a customer agreed to pay you for services (product and/or support), either through posted prices and a shrink-wrapped license or through a written contract, and then you provided those services, and then they didn't pay? And you're asking whether it's "OK" that they didn't pay? Of course it's not OK! Is there any business who could operate in that fashion? The way it affects the customer relationship is you don't have a customer relationship. You have a situation where they are taking advantage of you. A relationship goes in two directions.JC
