June 8th, 2010

Customer relationship management is a broadly recognized, widely-implemented strategy for managing and nurturing a company ’s interactions with clients and sales prospects. This is how some of the very credential webpages define a CRM tool. But do all existing CRM’s really serve the required purpose? While exploring an answer to this significant research, we concluded that there are lot of such features which are in dire need by the industry but are missing in almost all the existing CRM tools. Applane finally decided to take an initiative in picking up those non addressed issues and created Applane CRM.

Applane CRM is designed to automatically fetch an organization’s google page rank. Whenever a new organization is entered into Applane CRM, it automatically ranks up the organization on the basis of its Google page rank and further the data is sorted on the basis of these ranks while running new campaigns. This practice ensures that organizations with more potential get more consideration from vendor company and in turn helps sales team to allocate their efforts in very prudential manner by targeting prospects on the basis of ranks. Isn’t that really fantastic to let your sales team devote more time in other constructive jobs and Applane CRM does your organization ranking work.
