Zoho CRM guide

Zoho CRM centralizes your leads, customers and sales opportunities. No more tracking follow-ups in emails and spreadsheets: every interaction is logged, every follow-up can be automated and your pipeline becomes visible in real time.

Getting started

1. Configure your organization (currency, time zone, fiscal year) in the settings.
2. Customize the Leads, Contacts and Deals modules to match your business vocabulary.
3. Import your existing contacts from a CSV file or another CRM.
4. Define your sales pipeline stages to mirror your actual process.
5. Create your first automation rules: lead assignment, follow-up emails, alerts.
6. Connect your mailbox and calendar so everything is logged automatically.

Key features

• Customizable sales pipelines by product or service type.
• Workflow automations (follow-ups, tasks, notifications).
• Zia, the built-in artificial intelligence assistant.
• Real-time sales reports and dashboards.
• Native integration with Books, Campaigns, Desk and the rest of the suite.

Tips from our specialists

• Don’t rebuild your old mess: use the implementation as a chance to clean up your data.
• Start with a simple pipeline (5–6 stages), then refine.
• A few well-chosen required fields beat 40 empty ones.
