Dinesh,
When are you gys making a Salesforce App?
I use a method of calling that requires a lot of follow up and I find it very hard to manage this stuff from Excel.
I think many in the B2B market might feel the same. Call me and I gladly share my methodology of calling, my market, my input.
I love the product and hope to see you guys make the improvements I need.
THanks.
