Customer Card - Who needs CRM?

Customer Card Workbook

Simple yet powerful complete list of key information on ALL customers in your accounting system, even if you have not yet sold them anything! Your Sales reps will love this.

Imagine the many ways you can use this data to contact your customer base with mail outs, promotions or just to keep in touch. Why maintain a separate CRM when all of your most accurate customer sales data is already in your financial system and easily accessible by BI4cloud?
