Anyone use salesforce.com? Is it suitable for small business or can anyone recommend a package thats straightforward and good value?
 
Dont use it myself, but sugar CRM, www.sugarcrm.com is an open source package ( as in mozilla firefox browser and open office systems etc) which is very highly rated and free to download.
 
Many of the providers of accounting software also have CRM solutions.. You will probably get more value from a solution that integrates with other software you have that stores customer related information. Another consideration should be the analytical capabilities available with the solution. The greatest benefit is to be able to see which customers are most profitable, which regions have the highest sales etc. It is the useful information that can be easily compiled from the customer and accounting data that will give you the real benefit.
 
Just get Salesforce, its brilliant. Number 1 for a reason

Colly, Is salesforce.com number one for small business? According to who?
Is your software sales job related to CRM or are you a happy user of salesforce.com?
 
Salesforce is pretty good alright. Its very comprehinsive and you can just tailor it to your needs. Loads of really good applications. I use it every day in work and think its one of the best too.

Take a 30 day free trial off them and see for yourself.

it's very good if you are used to CRM systems.
If you are starting off with your first crm system it is too complicated.

try ACT or goldmine, designed for smaller companies and easier for beginners to use.
