Default Need Some Help for Choosing CRM Software

I am running a search marketing agency and we are making a lot of advertising campaigns. I am looking for some kind of CRM solution, which will allow me to manage my marketing campaigns and get some kind of sales pipeline predictions. If anyone knows any please help!

Hi. I’m not quite sure which solution will be best for search marketing agency, but I think that you may try a lot of free demos and to see which specific solution will fit best to your needs – advertising campaigns, marketing campaigns, e-mail marketing, sales pipelines management and lead generation. The top CRM vendors support all those features and with web-based and mobile access.

But if you don’t have much time to test much demos you may try few but from the most trusted names in the brand such as :
1. SugarCRM.com
2. SalesForce.com
3. WebCRM.com
4. MS CRM.Dynamics.com
5. Zoho.com

From your list I had tried only Salesforce. I liked all the features, really this tool is loaded. However, I find it really expensive and at this very moment I can't afford to use it. Can you recommend me some solutions based on their price (no more than 100$ per month) and still to offer the features I need

1. SugarCRM.com – from 30 $ to 100 $ user/month
3. WebCRM.com – from 25 $ user/month to 2000+ $/ month
4. Microsoft Dynamics is very expensive and the online solutions are supported only in some countries.
5. ZohoCRM.com – well for Zoho you'll need to make a personal quote for the price list with some info about your company.

What's the chances of that we have someone joining from Bulgaria looking for crm software and surprise surprise another person from Bulgaria can provide a solution and give prices!

Spam Alert!!!!

I do not see the promotion of any product here, it seems normal to choose CRM solution based on your budget right? If I can't have such threads here I will remove it, but it is a bit offensive don't you think

We are trying to create a spam free environment here on the forum, and I was pointing out that 2 people from the same country (be that any country in the world) joined the forum on the same day and responded to the same thread was very unlikely.

Of course time will tell if I was right or wrong - If I thought the post where not suitable or fully spam I would have disapproved the posts.

Could be a false positive but well done for sensing it

I have experience with ACT, Goldmine, and Saleforce. I would recommend ACT out of the lot. The other two are not bad. Saleforce is very pricey. It quickly adds up.

Hi Wursti, after just complimenting you on another thread I've just seen this one!

Having only had 1 Bulgarian member in 18 months, to have 2 in 1 day, and to answer a post is a massive coincidence by any step of the imagination

100% with Tomsk, unfortunately we get inundated with spam on a daily basis, mainly post counting and thread bumping trying to dump links, and the mods work hard to keep the forum spam free.

Very occasionally we get it wrong, but to be honest very rarely.

Please prove us wrong
