| Why is SalesAhoy
different from other crm and software companies? |
|
Simple
Our applications are designed with a single objective –
simplicity. No user guides or training needed.
Accessible
SalesAhoy is web-based; you can access your business information
and manage sales from anywhere there is an Internet connection.
Affordable
SalesAhoy gives you all of this in a low-cost, low-maintenance
program that is easy to set-up and easy to use. $30 a month
per user.
|
| How
can you be priced so much lower than Salesforce, Siebel OnDemand
and Salesnet? |
|
Big difference isn't it?!
First of all we have a more simple
product. It's not the kind of application you need training
session for.
Second of all we don't have a big
marketing budget, we've just build a great product and rely
on word of mouth from happy customers.
Thirdly, good clean SFA technology
doesn't have to be expensive. If you build it right from day
one with loads of flexibility, then it shouldn't have a big
price tag. ( here's the secret that the others may not like
you to know about...SFA software is actually pretty easy to
create.) We think that many other vendors are simply charging
way too much.
|
| Who are your customers? |
|

for companies that need simple low cost systems, with 5 to
500 employees. If you’re in the type of businesses that

I buy a similar product from? |
