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

    • Zoho CRM Functions 53: Automatically name your Deals during lead conversion.

      Welcome back everyone! Last week's function was about automatically updating the recent Event date in the Accounts module. This week, it's going to be about automatically giving a custom Deal name whenever a lead is converted. Business scenario Deals are the most important records in CRM. After successful prospecting, the sales cycle is followed by deal creation, follow-up, and its subsequent closure. Being a critical function of your sales cycle, it's good to follow certain best practices. One such
    • User Tips: Auto-Create Opportunity/Deal upon Quote Save (PART 1)

      Problem: We use quotes which convert to sales orders but Users / Sales Reps do not create opportunities / deals and go straight to creating a quote. This leads to poor reporting. Implementing this solution improves reporting and makes it easier for users.
    • Custom Function : Automatically send the Quote to the related contact

      Scenario: Automatically send the Quote to the related contact.  We create Quotes for customers regularly and when we want to send the quote to the customer, we have to send it manually. We can automate this, using Custom Functions. Based on a criteria, you can trigger a workflow rule and the custom function associated to the rule and automatically send the quote to customer through an email. Please note that the quote will be sent as an inline email content and not as a PDF attachment. Please follow
    • Function #50: Schedule Calls to records

      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. Business scenario Calls are an integral part of most sales routines.. Sales, Management, Support, all the branches of the business structure would work in cohesion only through calls. You could say they are akin to engine oil, which is required by the engine to make all of it's components function perfectly. CRM
    • Function #37: Create a Purchase Order from a Quote

      Welcome back everyone! Last week, we learnt how to calculate the total number of activities for a lead and further take note of the activity count for particular dates. 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,

    • View Kanban tasks in "Status" layout for all projects

      Hi I'm testing Zoho Projects Express to see if it is suitable for my business. So far it looks great and seems to do everything we want (except critical path on the Gantt charts), but one thing I can't seem to figure out is this: If I go into a project, and choose "Kanban", I can select the "Status" layout which is great. I can see the status of all of the tasks in that project, and who is working on what. However, if I go to: Home > My Tasks > Kanban, then the "Status" layout isn't an option - only
