Quick question: Do you have an easy way to “port” or migrate Zoho CRM data?

Thanks,
Carel.

Another free alternative (although not open source) is FreeCRM: http://www.freecrm.com/
I don’t like it as I find it too clumsy and would get way less done at the end of the day. But if your focus is free then be my guest.

A comment about free tools though (not just sales tools):
Lets say each sale you make puts $40 in your pocket.
Without any tool lets say you can do 5 deals or $200 a week
With tool A you can do 6 deals or $1,200 a week
With tool B you can do 6.5 deals or $1,300 a week
Using tool B you are bringing in an extra $100, or $400 a month.
I would argue it would be in your best interest to pay up to $400 a month on tool B over A.

If tool B is free, then that is awesome! However, if A is free and B is $15 a month you are still gaining a lot more then your monthly spending. My 2 cents.

However if the reason is free as in freedom to get into and work with the source code, then that is something totally different.
