TouchBase CRM Tool

In today’s world where there is so immense competition for growth, the key for top line and bottom line growth lies in

  1. Tracking your sales prospects in an effective manner and get more customers.
  2. Ensuring the profit margins are correctly estimated during sales proposal time.

While this looks like a simple formula, it is equally difficult to execute both the ideas at the same time. Getting more business means quoting lower values in a sales proposal. Ensuring healthy margins means sales price much above cost estimates.
This means that the cost estimates have to be accurate, so that sales price is low, but profitable enough for the execution. This is more challenging in project based businesses.
