With the holidays fast approaching, you probably have two things on your mind: marketing and getting everything done in spite of days off, parties, and that break room full of sweets.

A different kind of sugar, SugarCRM, can help you with both those priorities. 

SugarCRM is a service of Onsharp, a hosted Customer Relationship Management solution that can automate your marketing, keep you in touch with your customers, and simplify communication and collaboration among your team members.

What SugarCRM can do for you in December:

• work out holiday schedules so you know who's in the office and available and who's out ringing the bell for the Salvation Army
• keep track of all files and communications for a given project even when the participants have more flexible schedules than usual, or are working remotely
• keep projects on schedule even if things get chaotic
• develop e-mail marketing campaigns fast to take advantage of the holiday shopping season
• send holiday greetings to customers and vendors
• measure ROI of marketing effort, tracking data and keeping it accessible for analysis when things slow down and you have time to look at it.

So often, this is an exceptionally busy time of year, and sales staff are so focused on day to day survival operations that planning, tracking, and keeping in touch with customers all get short shrift -- or they get done, but at the price of unacceptable levels of stress. January ends up being a month of cleaning up after December.

This year, use SugarCRM to keep track of projects, clients, customers, and workers, so there'll be more cheer and less stress -- and higher profits, too. SugarCRM is easy to integrate with yoru existing systems, and Onsharp will be happy to help you implement it.
