Salesflare helps you sell more with less work by automating most of your sales funnel and workflow. 

It automatically populates your address book with the data it obtains from your company database, email signatures, and social media sources, tracks and logs all interactions of leads towards you, and then automatically sends out to-do reminders on specific leads from the data it gathers.

It works wherever you work: be it on your desktop, mobile or just from your Gmail. Best yet, it's multi-app compatible, and works with over 700 apps via Zapier.

I have been in the both free and paid plans. Love this. Would have loved some tutorials on generating reports though. Support is good, but tutorials (video) for best practises to get the maximum out of this CRM would be lovely.

I have used this software to manage my client's data, and so far I've had the best experience. I've used some CRM's like pipe-drive & sales flare in the past. I was attached to Salesflare just because of its clean design and ease of use, but then was very impressed with just how powerful "Funnel CRM" is. It's really comfortable and saves a lot of time because of its less data entry. Highly Recommended!!
