Why can’t I get pricing up front from so many of these CRM companies?

Cause they're a bunch of farts!!

Try Sugar CRM though... OpenSource... easy to use and configure... been using it for 3 years now! Checked out other apps like MS Dynamics, iHeat, DVT and they for the price it just wasn't worth it. Sugar was already doing everything I needed it to do.

The reason is that most CRM companies tailor their product to your needs.

It's more like, most companies will take a look at what they think you will be prepared to pay and then charge that. I will not buy from a company that can't include a price list on their web site.

Well I know with MS Dynamics, they have a base price and then you pay for the tailoring...

It was a long while ago, but it worked out to like R250k for 50 licenses (I THINK)

Sam,I know what you mean. All I wanted to do is find out how much it costs for a CRM product that fit my needs. I found on so many sites that I had to give my out personal information, just to find that I had to wait for a sales person to call me just to give me the price? Even when they called, they had to completely “sell” me on their product before giving me the price. Once they told me, I realized why they were hiding it. It was nice to go to websites like Salesforce.com and enterprisewizard
, put in the basic details and immediately received an email with the pricing I was looking for. enterprisewizard
even broke it down into what it would cost if I hosted it, leased it or if they hosted it. I was so happy to find these companies that put their pricing models right up front!
