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.

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,
