Hello,

I am just wondering if anyone has some good recommendations for some sales management software like salesforce? Something where multiple sales agent can follow/track leads, collaborate on a specific task etc? I am thinking about hiring a couple of sales agent and i need some sort of management or something to make their job easier.

The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is SugarCRM (http://www.sugarcrm.com/crm/). I'm sure there are plenty of others, but that's the big name. Just search for CRM

checkout http://www.vtiger.com

SugarCRM and V-Tiger are the 2 most recognized.
eCorpSys is a company that can help with open projects like this.

I personally recommend v-tiger, as i am using it for a long time.

checkout vtiger.com
:agree
And this is also one of the very active open source projects.
I might be wrong, but what I gathered from a quick search (not on google ;o) ), I think vTiger CRM (Customer Relationship Management) is what salesforce actually used as basis for it's platform.

We used to use SugarCRM, and really enjoyed how useful it was. Good luck in your search.

My vote goes for SugarCRM..Really nice piece of software..
