Powerful Sales Performance Management and Business Intelligence Tools

Maximizer CRM Live fuels business success with simple, accessible, adaptable CRM that provides the best value in the market. It consolidates all contacts, action items, business communications, forecasts, reports and results into one central hub, making information widely accessible throughout your organization, yet precisely controlled to suit your requirements.

Managers can monitor ongoing sales performance from their opportunity window or dashboard. Additionally, Sales Opportunity Monitoring allows sales teams and managers to proactively monitor opportunities and encourage progress during the sales cycle. Keeping managers in the loop, e-mail notifications can be scheduled to alert key personnel when an opportunity has been modified.

Wizard-driven dashboards enable executives and managers to monitor key performance indicators that matter most to them. Real-time indicators can be easily customized, reflecting the most meaningful data, including the ability to click through to a deeper level of information or view lists.

The Best of Both Worlds – CRM That Provides Choice and Peace of Mind

With Maximizer Software, customers can choose to subscribe to Maximizer CRM Live or deploy Maximizer CRM on-premise, based on their unique business requirements.

“The on-premise and cloud based applications are optimized so that customers can move from one to the other with minimal technical requirements. We provide the best of both worlds – since our applications are built upon the same data model, our migration solution will move the customer’s entire dataset without any data loss. In addition, our business policy will compliment this technical ability and accommodate customers who want to migrate from one deployment option to another based on changes in their organization or environment, thus eliminating the need to switch to another CRM vendor and run the risk of data loss," says Hui.

Availability and Pricing

Maximizer CRM Live is available today starting as low as $39 per user per month for 5 or more users, or $49/month for less than 5 users. Customers can access Maximizer CRM Live and sign up for a 30 day free trial at http://maximizer.com/crm-resources/crm-live.html?panel=2#crm-live-resources
