AOE sales tool

• Lead generation is critical to us. We have 10 sales staff that will need to put all the leads into the system where we can all see them and track them. We do not want to have any duplications and our sales team needs to be able to enter new leads without duplication by first entering a Company name. We sell to companies and not people. We need a system that can achieve this by having a system that also looks into the Accounts (Company Names) to make sure we are not duplicating a new lead with an existing customer. We do generate many leads with existing customers as well which eventually fills our forecast pipeline. • What we found is that we need to have our existing accounts private to the sales person but not available to any other sales staff. Our sales team are individual consultants and are compensated based on these accounts that they have generated over the years. We do not want this area public but need to have the lead generation be able to search not only leads but accounts (Company Names). ZOHO CRM was not able to make this happen. We are looking for ZOHO Creator to be able to be customized to ZOHO CRM with the above features. Let me know if this can be done. CEO Bruce: Access to everything - ability to change anything Directors Deb / Chris ability to see and change lead contact - but no ability to change system formatting Sales Leads Access to add any - Enter as Owner - can change and add info on Lead as their Own accounts Visibility to all leads and Owners assigned to lead - but not able to change others info on lead.

I have searched here and not found anything relevant, but If I overlooked, then please set me straight.  We have staff that do nothing but close tickets in desk all day long. These tickets represent their timesheet. Is there a way to have this information sync or for a tech to go into their timesheet themselves and sync it with their tickets of the same timeframe?? We waste a ton of time doing timesheets and the old "Clock in/Clock out" isnt detailed enough for us!!
