Internet vs. Desktop
A: SalesCloser for the Internet offers a number of advantages over traditional desktop solutions:
- Easily share data among multiple users/locations
- Anywhere/anytime access
- SalesCloser provides the software, all you need to provide is an Internet browser, eliminating the need for costly IT support of a desktop environment
- User security is simple – a logon ID and password
- Upgrades/enhancements are installed literally overnight, with no involvement from your organization
- Best of all – you pay for the software as a “service”, either by the month or annually at a discount, no large upfront investments that may not produce an adequate return (ROI). You simply stop the service if you are unhappy or want to switch technologies.
- SalesCloser for the Internet is affordable! With an annual subscription, it can cost less than $2 per day per user – less than a Starbucks cup of coffee!
