Concursive Offers Free CRM Software

"ConcourseSuite 5.0 lets us manage the entire sales cycle -- from lead capture and contact management to pipeline tracking and quoting," said Dave Cook, Director at Amalgatek. "It's easy-to-use, can be customized to fit our business and allows us to both make the most of our leads and to grow current customers."

A Software as a Service (SaaS) on-demand offering, ConcourseSuite 5.0 requires no setup -- business users simply subscribe and then log-in to begin using the system. There's nothing to install and no IT skills are required. The software is user-friendly and designed such that business, sales and marketing managers can customize the application and add functionality as required to meet specific requirements or adjust to changing needs.

Susan Milhoan, president of Retail Alliance, said, "Concursive's move of offering freely available enterprise-class software tools is a major boost for smaller and medium businesses and it levels the playing field with larger enterprises."

ConcourseSuite combines customer relationship management (CRM), online presence management, marketing, team collaboration and customer service within a single easy-to-use platform. A full range of tools within the suite allows small-to-medium sized businesses to track prospects and sales activity, generate new leads, manage the sales process and service existing customers.

"Opening up the availability of this intuitive tool that we have designed for everyday business use is a natural extension of our business model," said Michael Harvey, EVP for Concursive. "At Concursive we understand the processes required for businesses to get and grow their customer base, and giving businesses with up to 100 users free access to ConcourseSuite allows a broader range of companies to understand how technology can help to streamline, organize, and drive prospect and customer activities -- the lifeblood of every business."

After twelve months, businesses using ConcourseSuite 5.0 under this offer will be given the opportunity to continue the service at low promotional rates -- on the order of half of the rates of competing on-demand CRM offerings.

Starting in November of last year, businesses were already able to sign up for a free 5-user account for ConcourseSuite 5.0. To date, nearly 1500 firms have started using ConcourseSuite 5.0 under that previous offer, and Concursive predicts the response to the new 100-user offer will be even greater.
