Focus Group webinars - Zoho CRM 2020 feature edition to build long-lasting customer relationships (Part 1)



Hey everyone, 

A couple of months ago, Zoho CRM pushed out its 2020 feature edition release - a collection of 16 massive, brand-new features. All these features spread across different avenues in CRM, aim to collectively enhance and drive long-lasting customer relationships. We've categorized these features based on their function in developing customer insight, experience, foundation, and intelligence. More on the individual features that fall under each of the above categories, can be found here.

This month, we're covering features that help build customer experience and develop customer insight. To smoothen their implementation, we've scheduled Focus Group webinars split across 7 sessions that individually cover all these features. We'll discuss use cases for each feature and how it fits into common business scenarios, challenges it helps combat, and walk through step-wise implementations in CRM. Our panel for the Q&A session at the end of the Focus Group includes Zoho CRM Product Managers who have seen these features built from the ground up, and will be ready to answer any questions you have.  

Each Focus Group webinar is hosted in two sessions under different time zones to enable you to join in at a time that suits you.

This week, let's look at a custom function that lets you close all of the tasks associated with a lead while simultaneously creating a new task, like when you need to halt all progress towards a lead while the lead is not available at the moment but create a reminder task. Business scenario: The success of a company, in one way or another, is determined by the leads it gets. Each lead is just

                                                                Hello everyone! What sets you apart as a sales person is your ability to add that personal touch to your business relationship with your customers. Sending a gift on a special day, or leaving a note wishing them on their birthdays, are small, yet significant actions that show your customers that you care. And these are actions done without any expectations :) You must be engaging with a lot of customers and it is highly unlikely that they all are your friends on Facebook or some social channel,

I am unable to find a built-in function that would be <DateTime>.Date(). I don't think I want to go the string conversion route of converting the datetime to string and then parsing out values and create a date out of it. Any one out there has a better solution to this?

It would be awesome if a customer could go to a link and input a "title, username, password, url" all securely and it then shows up in our team vault or something. Not sure if that is safe, but it's the best I can think of to be semi scalable and obviously better than sending emails. I am open to another idea, just thought this would be a great feature.  Thanks,

                                                                                                                Hello , I am evaluating Zoho Books and I find the interface very intuitive and straight forward. My company is currently using Quickbooks Premier the Australian version. Before we can consider moving the service we would need to have the following addressed : 1.Payroll 2.BAS ( business activity statement ) for tax purposes 3.Some form of local backup and possible export of data to a widely accepted format.

For example, and my current use case, I have a
