Pipeline Management as part of a Web-based Sales Software System:
 Pipeline management can be every sales person's nightmare or every sales person's fantasy. A solid sales software system
must make pipeline management a sales persons dream. If you deal in advanced solutions or big-ticket items, your customers probably don't have a distinct process for acquiring what you sell. The more appropriately we can discover our
customer's buying process, or the objects that have to happen just before they can buy, the better we can take care of
our pipeline. A managed pipeline is aligned with our customer and works with them where they truly are. * Feature Set Customer

Calendaring within the Customer Relationship Management Sales Software System:
 Effectively designed calendar integration could be the most crucial area of a first-rate CRM system. Tasks are the
driving influence of the sales software system and the calendar is the conduit that the tasks flow through. Calendars should always be shared across the company for the system to be used the most adequately. Calendar reports need to
be a one click report for optimal use. Through the effective use of a tasked based calendar program, the sales person
can facilitate the buying process and close more deals. When CRM users generate events, put in contacts, or add clients, all the
data should be displayed and shared within the calendar. When the user rolls over the particular day, multiple icons should show the
specific activity or event of the day. This will lessen the number of clicks and pages loads needed to view the information of that
day. Minimizing clicks means a far more productive sales force. All of this information appears in the calendar and provides an instant
view of events scheduled for that day. Leads and Clients that enter the system are also on display for quick access to critical
information to reduce multiple clicks. * Feature Set Customer Retention Rating in a Recession for Microsoft Dynamics CRM: 9 Stars
