Stand alone CRMs claim a “360° view of the customer”, so how does your CRM compare in the following every-day scenario:
Assume a customer calls, and your CSR needs to know:
Orchestrates the entire sales process with a truly integrated, full featured sales suite that enables organizations to sell more with far less effort.
Lead Management
Opportunity Management
Quote Management
Custom define incentive programs around the way you do business.
Commission Management - Configure commissions based on transactions such as amounts paid to invoices, order sub-totals, gross profit margins, etc.. Commissions are assignable by employee and partners. Also, you can set different commissions by item groups, with different percentages or flat amounts according to recipient. (gross profit definitions are custom defined too).
Sales Employees & Partner Commissions - Split Sales Opportunities and Sales Orders into both internal and partner resources (a partner can be a reseller, dealer, etc..) so that each can receive a percentage of the commission.
Multi-Dimensional Tiers - Meaning that you can set a range of items, quantities, amounts, etc.. and each can interact with the other in a multi-dimensional way, which really opens up what you can do. This way, sales person A can make more commission for selling the same tier of products as a more junior sales person with a different incentive package. This is but a single example, but in all cases the process is wizard driven.
Share commission reports with drill down - Everyone with a commission incentive has the ability to see their own incentive status, to find out how much they’ve made for a pay period, or how close they are to reaching a new milestone. Each commission amount can be drilled into, so that the source order, and invoice involved can be audited to confirm that everything is on the up and up.
Partner Relationship Management - Receive new leads from partners, and include them in sales opportunities and orders. Partners can also be included in sales commissions.

Territory Management
Territory management is a great way to cut down on record clutter, improve security, and control access to organizations and everything that relates to them, including orders, opportunities, cases, activities, and much more, which can be segmented by custom defined territories.
A comprehensive solution that leverages data from other modules and helps streamline repetitive tasks via workflow automation.
Create case records linked to orders and line items (which are usually the source of trouble tickets).
Set triggers based on events within case fields to drive email alerts, update fields, and automate manual processes.
Create support contracts with expirations based on number of trouble-tickets or days from order ship-date.
See incidents remaining and expiration dates within the trouble-ticket (which are referred to as "Cases").
Web-to-Case & Email-to-Case enables customers to help you to help them generate trouble tickets.
Generate HTML forms which can be placed on your website to customers to create their own cases.
Issue collaboration works much like topic forums, so it's likely to suit more complex trouble tickets and cases. Like any forum you have a topic creator and administrator (your CSR) which are sent via email to collaborators such as partner and customer contacts. Like any forum, email flows back and forth between participants, building a history around the topic. When the topic concludes, it continues to be available from the customer's record.
