In the News – Zoho Bigin is CRM Software for the Smallest Businesses

zoho bigin crm

If you’re busy trying to get your business back on its feet, you probably don’t want to be bothered by much new technology. The time to learn it probably doesn’t exist right now.

But you’re going to need sales and the smaller your company is, the more unapproachable most of that technology is.

This week, however, Zoho released new CRM software called Bigin that’s designed specifically for the small businesses and even freelancers.

Zoho says it’s time for freelancers, independent contractors and micro-businesses to stop using spreadsheets to track customer interactions. And Bigin promises to function just like other CRM software, just without the big learning curve and price tag.

And it’s not a piece of software where you end up needing a fraction of its functions. Remember, it’s designed for the smallest businesses.
