Insurance Agencies

I am reaching out to see if anyone has any experience in the Insurance Agency world with using Zoho exclusively for the CRM and commissions side of things.  Lots of strong features like drip campaigns, meeting, calendars, emails, can all be found in here.  I am using AgencyBlo$ now and the user price is foolish I feel to house my clients and run commissions.  Any thoughts good or bad about Zoho as an all in one would be appreciated.  Thanks

      Welcome back everyone! Last week's function was about changing ownership of multiple records concurrently. This week, it's going to be about scheduling calls for records in various modules.

    • Function #37: Create a Purchase Order from a Quote

For instance, from the period of Demo to Negotiation. This week, let's look at a function that lets you create a Purchase Order instantly from a Quote. Business scenario: In any form of business, one of the most important things to do is to document the transactions. Naturally, negotiation, signing an agreement, placing an order,
