Here is a pretty good new Sales Deal management tool that just launched. I have used Salesforce.com, ACT, Sharkware, Outlook Business Management and Goldmine and each has its strengths and weaknesses. This new tool called Pipeline is a pretty nice web based tool. It provides the basics every rep needs to manage deals including:
Organize Your Deals
Keep all your contacts, files, documents, notes, maps, directions for a deal in one place.
Create & Share Documents
Easily share and collaborate on documents with co-workers.
Create ToDos & Reminders
Get more productive, create todo lists for each deal. Simple reminders will ring your cell phone and alert you.
Easily Track Status of Deals
Review simple dashboard reports focusing you on the most important deals to work on.
Organize Your Contacts
Keep all your contact info in one place. Use tags to leverage the power of your contacts.
Backup Important Files
Always have your files available from anywhere on the web. Never forget that important powerpoint presentation.
They offer a tour of the application as well as a free demo account. I like it because some of the other tools are really bloated and trying to be all things to all people. Check out Pipeline and get just what you might need.
