SellMoreNow CRM Stack
This page is the heart of this site. On this page I sort the many CRM solutions into logical categories. Though I start with Contact Managers (What would you expect from me?) I use the roles along the customer relationship life cycle for my primary inspiration. I am currently tracking more than 4,200 solutions sorted into 121 categories. So, just jump in and pick a page to explore. Here is what you will find:
The Logo
The logo is an active link that will take you directly to the software developer’s site.
The CRM Solution
The name of the CRM solution. If the software developer is cooperating with my review process, this will be an active link that takes you directly to my Software SnapShot – the free version of my review that I publish here.
The Amazon Link
If the software developer makes it all the way through my review process, I publish the final review as an Amazon kindle book that you van download immediately. Yes, I do charge a very fair price for these finished reviews (usually $9.87 or less) – that is how I maintain my absolute independence!

Note: I do try to use this taxonomy to define the tags for each post.
As always, let me know if there is an important new category that you would like to see added to this stack!
Though I have been writing these reviews for more than 30 years, sometimes I need a kick in the head to get a fresh perspective! That said, this page was inspired by the work of Scott Brinker and Anand Thaker. See: Marketing Technology Landscape Supergraphic (2017): Martech 5000
