    Free CRM eBooks Are the Secret Weapon for Smarter Selling

    Where to Find Quality Sales & CRM eBooks

    When searching for resources, look for publishers that combine real‑world sales experience with up‑to‑date CRM expertise.
    Good indicators include:

    • Proven case studies or customer success stories.
    • Strategy frameworks backed by research.
    • Actionable steps — not just theory.

    Sites like Zoho, HubSpot, and Salesforce (among others) routinely publish free, professional‑grade eBooks that help sales teams move from manual processes to modern, data‑driven operations.


    HubSpot has a crazy blog that's been my favorite for years.


    Zoho has a cool collection here: https://www.zoho.com/crm/resources/ebooks/

    Act! Pro upgrade for sale?

     Here Are Your Options.

    If you’ve been using ACT! Pro, you may have already discovered that Swiftpage/ACT has discontinued sales of ACT! Pro licenses.
    This change leaves you wondering: What now? There are options.


    Option 1:
    Stay with ACT via Subscription (Premium or Cloud)

    Although ACT! Pro is gone, the company continues to offer ACT! Premium, which is now sold on a subscription basis.

    • Pros: Familiar interface, advanced features, cloud-hosted options, ongoing updates.

    • Cons: Subscription cost is higher than the one-time Pro license.


    Option 2:
    Migrate to Zoho CRM (and Zoho One)

    For customers looking for a modern, cloud-based CRM, Zoho CRM is one of the most cost-effective and flexible options.

    • Pros: Affordable, scalable, and comes with automation, AI insights, and integrations across sales, marketing, and customer service.

    • Zoho One Bundle: For a similar cost to ACT Premium, you can get 55+ integrated apps (CRM, Books, Projects, Desk, People, WorkDrive, and more).

    • Migration: ACT notes, history, calendar, and opportunities can all be moved into Zoho CRM.


    Which Path Is Right for You?

    Final Thoughts

    The retirement of ACT! Pro marks the end of an era, but it’s also a great opportunity to modernize your CRM strategy.
    Whether you stick with ACT Premium or move to Zoho CRM, the key is to ensure your data, processes, and customer relationships are future-proof.

    👉 If you’d like to explore migration options, data mapping, or side-by-side comparisons, I can help you choose the best fit and guide you through the transition.

    The face of the moon was in shadow

    Zoho as officially release the new UI (user interface) for CRM. It's crazy cool. It takes less than 10 seconds to figure it out and see the simplicity along with quick ways to work. 

    There's actually two new sidebars to understand. It's zippy fast.

    The secondary sidebar is dedicated to your tasks. It displays content based on what you choose from the primary sidebar on the left. For instance, you can navigate to different teamspaces, manage teamspaces or add a new teamspace using the teamspace switcher at the top in the secondary sidebar.


    Finding the collapse icon is a good idea. It allows you to see more "stuff" on the screen.
