Intro: We look at sales software integrations that make your You Don’t Need a CRM! experience even more seamless.
Sales people live busy lives and spend most of their times either prospecting new sales opportunities, preparing proposals or are on the road rushing to the next client meeting.
In a fast paced work life, it is important to be able to quickly manage everything from one account and save time in order to focus on the end goal: closing the deal.
Losing time is a common problem amongst sales people. Looking through hundreds of folders on your desktop to find the right document you want to send over to the client, switching between multiple platforms to find the right client information and using different tools to communicate with the customer can be quite tiring, confusing and time consuming.
In situations like this, it is key that your lead management software is integrated with all the software and tools you’re using on a daily basis to make your sales life a lot easier and ultimately, save you time to focus on the important things.
Fortunately, there are many different options on integrations with 3rd party apps that help wiping the stress off you.
That’s why we want to show you five must-have integrations in the most relevant categories for your business inside You Don’t Need a CRM!:
Save Data with Dropbox:
Data is everywhere and crucial to every sort of business no matter how small or big. Especially in very small companies, documents and files are saved all over your desktop, making it harder each time to find the right document you’re looking for. If a client then requests some more information about your business, you need to look through all your files on your computer until you found the right one. When files become too big to save, most businesses are already relying on Dropbox, your cloud storage, to help you save and quickly find all the files you are looking for. When working with a Lead Management Software, it only makes sense that you have integrated your account with your Dropbox account, so you can easily attach presentations, brochures, client information or any other relevant document to your Leads so you have everything saved in one place and never have to undergo endless searches on your hard drive again.

Billing & Accounting made easy with FreshBooks and co:
When it comes to proposals, invoices and more, you really don’t want to spend too much time on these. You’d rather get it out to the client straight away and work towards finalizing the deal. Nowadays you don’t need to be an accountant or spend loads of time on preparing the invoice. With Software like Freshbooks or Quickbooks, you can easily create your customized client invoice in just minutes and thanks to the integration with You Don’t Need a CRM!, you can easily attach estimates and co directly to your leads and even let the software automatically update the amount on your leads. For an even quicker process, you can also just clip an estimate while the software searches for the lead, giving you more time for other work duties.

Google Apps for Work:
Connecting your account to Google is one of the most important integrations for your business. On a daily basis business appointment can change a lot; new calendar invitations are coming in, meetings are being rescheduled, conference calls postponed and so forth. Keeping up to date with all these important appointments costs you a lot of time and chances are high that some might slip through.
