It’s important to keep track of all your interactions with customers and prospects in one place—emails sent, phone calls made, meetings scheduled, presentations shared, and RFPs sent. Reason? A company’s success is determined by its ability to provide exceptional customer experiences. And that means using a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tool is a must, which enables businesses to unite their teams around customers, get actionable insights from data, attract prospects, and retain loyal customers.
Having said that, finding the right fit is key. No matter what size your company is, choosing the right CRM ensures the success of your organization now and in the future as well.

Why Salesforce CRM outperforms other platforms
For 16 consecutive years, Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ has named Salesforce a leader for its Sales Force Automation Platform. Forrester has positioned Salesforce as a leader in the Sales Force Automation Segment. Salesforce’s commitment to building and sustaining customer relationships across all lines of business was further demonstrated when IDC ranked it first in CRM market share for the ninth consecutive year. Even the small businesses rate Salesforce as the #1 CRM, as per G2.
In the past decade, Salesforce has won multiple accolades and emerged as the #1 intelligence-led CRM platform for businesses of all sizes and industries for powering every aspect of the sales process with a 360-view of the customer and embedded AI – from smart territory planning, to personalized rep coaching, to accurate forecasting.
Salesforce CRM’s core capabilities in account and contact management, sales automation, opportunity tracking, lead scoring, forecasting, and reporting, supported by easy desktop and mobile accessibility, have increased its popularity.
