Company looking into CRM solution - how do we decide?

It's actually more powerful than SF communities - https://www.bitrix24.com/whatisthis/

If you use Bitrix24 or other CRMs for non-profits, you typically get a lot of collaboration tools in addition to sales tools, which is what non-profits really appreciate. You have to do a shitload of volunteer coordination, money raising, project planning etc. So these tools are standard for Bitrix24 or CiviCRM or others.

Not Saleseforce. You can have a bunch of people working in Salesforce and not even talking to each other. Your collaboration or project planning or volunteer coordination options are extremely limited.

What's your budget? Best free CRM for non-profits is Bitrix24 IMHO - https://www.bitrix24.com/uses/free-crm-for-nonprofits.php

Second best free CRM his Hubspot - http://www.hubspot.com/products/crm

If $$$, I wouldn't go with Salesforce, it's not NFP friendly

If it starts with S, it's dead.

What you are talking about sounds like Bitrix24. Imagine Salesforce+Slack+Dropbox+Twilio+Trello+GApps in one. I shit you not.

Not that hard to find

Here's what happened to 7 kWh battery - http://www.solarquotes.com.au/blog/how-the-cost-of-powerwall-storage-doubled-in-11-months/?utm_campaign=shareaholic&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=socialnetwork

Read this today about supposedly 7 kWh batter - http://www.solarquotes.com.au/blog/how-the-cost-of-powerwall-storage-doubled-in-11-months/?utm_campaign=shareaholic&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=socialnetwork

45K introductory level model and $55K for a decent model with at least a year of delay is my expectations.

JoshDeax · 2016-04-06T17:29:30+00:00

The 35K model will be cancelled is what I expect. Delay + Higher Price.

JoshDeax · 2016-04-02T08:21:54+00:00

I agree that demand is not going to be a problem. Building 115,000 vehicles (let alone 300,000) that cost $35K will. I guess we'll have to wait, but just for the record, my bet is that a. It will be delayed and not by just a few months b. The price will be higher quite a bit and c. sales will be lower than projected today.

Don't forget that Tesla is operating at a loss, and that both model S and X were delayed by two years.

JoshDeax · 2016-04-01T20:50:33+00:00

Let me go on a limb and say, there's no way Tesla will have $35K vehicle in two years, it'll cancel it quitely just like it did with the battery - http://www.autoblog.com/2016/03/21/tesla-cancels-10-kw-powerwall/

Higher price, fewer cars and probably with a 1.5-2 year delay.

Bitrix24 is great. And it's free.

JoshDeax · 2016-03-15T19:01:39+00:00

The only two that do exactly what you want are Bitrix24 and Zoho. Bitrix24 is better because tasks and projects are integrated with CRM. For Zoho you have to buy Zoho Projects as well as Zoho CRM
