      1Dashboard Slickness

      1

      The vice president of sales in our sandbox needs to see at-a-glance what his team can be expected to deliver in the next few months, and this dashboard gives him the information he wants.

      2Task-Oriented, but Watching the World

      2

      Our sandboxs sales manager Will can keep one eye on his to-do list, another eye on opportunities in the system and his third eye on the companies he follows through Twitter.

      3Simplicity When It Counts

      3

      Sometimes, all you care about are the big things, and that couldnt be truer than in the case of the accounts assigned to our sandboxs salesperson Max. All he wants are names and phone numbers, and hell handle the rest.

      4Opportunity Knocking, Has Budget

      4

      The complete list of the sales opportunities for our sandbox company tells us how much is at stake, when its expected to close and whos responsible for the deal.

      5Manage Planned and Active Campaigns

      5

      Tracking active campaigns is an important part of any CRM system, and Sugar Enterprise puts the campaigns assigned to our sandboxs sales manager at his fingertips.

      6One-Stop Document Management

      6

      SugarCRM provides a framework for managing documents related to opportunities and allows searches against the associated metadata.

      7Reports Rolled Up

      7

      Our sandboxs sales manager Will wants to know what deals should close in the first few months of 2012 and what those mean to his teams quotas.

      8Reach Out and Touch Someone

      8

      CRM software is rooted in the contact management tools of years past. The difference is the integration with other aspects of the sales process.
