An Outlook CRM, is a software application that enables businesses to manage their interactions with customers and clients in a more efficient and organized manner.

SalesOutlook knows when you send or receive an email because it is part of Outlook. When you click on send or when you read an email the email address is searched in SalesOutlook Contacts (all three email addresses). If the email address is found then the email is saved (the complete email including attachments) to SalesOutlook Notes Folder. The email is marked as saved in the Inbox. You can delete the Email in your Inbox because the Email is preserved inside of SalesOutlook. You can elect to save the Email and Attachments to a SharePoint or Onedrive folder (recommended).

SalesOutlook uses industry standard report writers like PowerBI Reporting and Crystal Reports. You can also use Excel for reporting (our most popular reporting tool) to create Pivot Tables, Pivot Charts and List reports. Create your Dream Report using one of our Best of Class Report writers.

SalesOutlook uses Word and Excel documents and spreadsheets as templates that are stored in the database. Merge codes can be added to the templates to stuff fields from the SalesOutlook forms into the templates. Saving the template will save the document to the opportunity, contact and account for review. You can elect to store an existing document by clicking on the SalesOutlookk tab and searching for SalesOutlook item. There is also a document form to attach other types of documnents and links such as OneDrive items or server file folders.
