ClickDesk integrates with Zoho CRM

Posted on April 18, 2012 by Sharanya R

ClickDesk is a cloud based service that lets you communicate with website visitors directly from your instant messengers.

This is a guest post by Jagan Ganti, Product Specialist at ClickDesk.

With tight competition in most businesses these days, it is the level of customer support provided that determines their success. Also, the customer support agents should have all the basic information about the person in chat handy.

With ClickDesk, your visitors can chat from the website, while operators can respond conveniently from Google Talk or Skype. With the integrated browser phone (Flash – VoIP), visitors can also call you in any of the 3 ways – PC, Skype or by using local access numbers provided in 40 countries. You can receive the calls on your mobile phones, desk phones or even on your Instant Messenger.

ClickDesk now integrates with Zoho CRM, thus giving you instant access to your customer info while you are chatting with your customers.

Build better Customer Relationships. Facebook Integration is here!

Posted on April 12, 2012 by Sharanya R

Check out some of these statistics about Facebook.

If Facebook were a country, it would be the world’s third largest.
An average user has 130 friends.
67% of B2C and 41% of B2B companies that use Facebook for marketing have acquired a customer through this channel.

This makes me wonder: How would it be if a sales rep could use the power of people on Facebook? Imagine how much you’d benefit if your CRM account is integrated with Facebook?

Zoho CRM now offers an integration with Facebook, thus bringing your customers’ Facebook profiles inside your CRM account itself.

So, how does this help to build better customer relationships? Here are a few ways:

Instant information about your prospect:
You have a lead with you. All you have is the email id. How do you know more about this person before shooting that email? With the ability to associate Facebook profiles, you get most details – like their professional history, designation, schooling, location, etc inside the contact detail page.

Dispatch Jobs made easy with vWorkApp and Zoho CRM

Posted on February 6, 2012 by Sharanya R

This is a Guest Post by Michele Goldsworthy, Online Marketing Specialist at vWorkApp.

vWorkApp and Zoho CRM have come together to create the first solution on the market that combines customer relationship management with mobile job dispatching and scheduling. The result? A complete solution for field service companies that provides real-time management and tracking of jobs.

Zoho’s CRM software manages the entire customer life-cycle, including sales, marketing, invoicing, customer support, and more. However, Zoho by itself cannot cater completely to the field service companies. Field service companies also require real-time tools that let them direct, schedule, and track their work in the field, as it’s happening.

vWorkApp created the Zoho CRM plug-in to allow companies to dispatch and track workers directly from within Zoho.…

TeamSupport.com Integrates with Zoho CRM

Posted on August 23, 2011 by Sharanya R

This is a guest post by Robert C. Johnson, CEO of TeamSupport.com.

TeamSupport.com, a cloud based customer support management solution, is excited to announce the completion of a powerful new integration with Zoho CRM.

Once the simple setup is completed, the integration provides for the seamless transfer of select customer and contact information from Zoho CRM directly into TeamSupport. When new support tickets are created in TeamSupport they are automatically added as notes into Zoho so that the sales team can be kept in the loop on support issues.

The transfer and update of contact names, addresses and phone numbers happens seamlessly in the background with no intervention required by either TeamSupport or Zoho users. When a Zoho user marks an account as a “Customer” then that data is automatically sent to TeamSupport.

TeamSupport is a powerfully simple customer support software, and our integration with Zoho CRM brings two best of breed solutions together for our mutual customers. We’re very excited about our integration with Zoho and look forward to a great partnership!…
