Getting Started with Sales Enablement

Let’s face the facts. Most SMBs are unhappy with their current CRMs but nervous about switching to another system, even if that other app is more powerful, more affordable, and easier to use. We’re excited to announce a new Getting Started Guide to Sales Enablement in Agile CRM. As an all-in-one solution for sales, marketing and web engagement, we offer so many features that it can be easy to miss some of the more basic ones when you’re setting up your first Agile CRM account. Follow the 10-step Getting Started Guide and you won’t miss a single feature — or a single lead.

And if you are already a dedicated Agile CRM user, the new guide is an excellent refresher course. We’re strong believers in the philosophy of Beginner’s Mind.

There’s never been a better time to get going with our modern, intuitive UI and the power of complete sales enablement. We’re here to help you build a better business.
