Course Abstract

The term 'Sales Automation' has a horrible ring to it. Customers do not want to be sold to, especially by a machine, no, they want to buy from someone (they trust)! And sales professionals know better than to let customers think the sale is anything but a deeply personal process with a win-win outcome.
This puts the onus on the sales professional to keep organised in order to stay focused on the customer. SugarCRM is designed to help do just that.
This course is mandatory for anyone ambitious enough to reach out to more customers and skilled enough to generate more sales from existing customers.
If you have no time to figure out how to use SugarCRM by yourself, you need this easy, introductory drivers guide to get the most out of this outstanding tool.
