Leads Management is truly the heart of the system. The default Leads Pipeline view shows the Stage that your opportunity is at. All activity histories, win/loss information, user-defined fields, contacts, relationships, and tasks are available through the Lead details. Company profiles and charts can also be uploaded as files via the Lead Detail screens.

This is for
Ideal for both B2C and B2B business models, it can help transform your first-time contacts into leads and maintain an organized database so that you can make better sales decisions. The software also tracks your performance and lets you at a glance, view sales progress.
If we had to pick the key selling point, it’d be usability. AmoCRM keeps track of everything yet reduces info management to just a few clicks. All in all, this can be a great help for the smaller sales team that has more complex sales processes.
This is not for
It’s mainly geared for smaller sales teams. The biggest flaw that we can think of is that unlike some other big CRM’s, it won’t scale with your business. It’s very affordable, and supports up to 50,000 contacts and 800 Mb of disk space for the Enterprise plan per user. Also, it only offers a limited number of custom fields, but for most businesses, these should be more than adequate.
