Why you should your business use a sales CRM?

In case you’ve been following the blog, you’ll know that we just came out of beta. We’ve released several new features and launched our paid and free plans. Since our launch, we have been getting a lot of questions on how ClinchPad differentiates itself from the other CRMs out there in a very crowded space and why one should use ClinchPad over other CRMs or even use a sales CRM in the first place.

ClinchPad was built to serve a very specific niche, the Fortune 500000 businesses. This focus can be seen in the web application (sign up and check it out in less time it takes to read this blog post). Your time is valuable and ClinchPad has been designed to get you started as quickly as possible with the goal of having almost no learning curve.

ClinchPad isn’t focused only on tracking data and generating reports but also optimized for user happiness. It integrates nicely with Google applications such as Google Calendar, Contacts and Gmail. It focuses on collaboration, by making everything shared by default you don’t ever have your boss asking on the status of a lead or a colleague asking the contact information for a potential customer.

ClinchPad’s scope extends to only one business aspect - the sales pipeline. This is unlike many other CRMs which double up as helpdesks, project collaboration applications, social media managers and have various other features. These applications usually need a lot of time to be set up (hiding unneeded features, putting key features on the home screen etc) resulting in a lower setup time & learning curve.

ClinchPad’s pricing has been designed to be SME friendly. You can use ClinchPad free forever as long as you have less than 100 leads and use less than 250MB of space. If you ever exceed this, then you’re automatically switched over to a 14 day trial of the appropriate paid plan. All the paid plans are extremely affordable and include all the features. You can check out the free and paid plans on the pricing page.

Hopefully, the above description has excited you enough to check it out. You can see the full list of features here. We would love your thoughts at [email protected] especially on how the user experience can be improved and what features you’d like to see added.
