Hi everybody. Hi everyone. I'd like to suggest salesforce for the ease and price of a platform that will help you interact with your clients. By the way, the salesforce license pricing for small/medium/large companies is not very costly. I would recommend, for example, that I strive to get a license of $25 for small companies, that medium enterprises - be stingy and subscribe to $300. I would like to mention that you'll feel the quality of customer service after ordering a subscription.
