You have already decided that Zoho has all the right tools to help you automate and grow your business, but you are still unsure if you should use Bigin or Zoho CRM as your CRM platform. That’s a very common concern.
You Might Need Some Help
Suppose you are a mid-size to large organization. In that case, it might be easier for you to visualize how Zoho CRM will be able to manage your sales pipeline and automate your business by creating the perfect integration with 40+ Zoho Apps and over 1000 third-party extensions. But if you are a start-up, a small business, or even a new mid-size business, you might need some help and knowledge to choose the right CRM for your organization.
Zoho Understands Your Business
However, before we move forward, I want to emphasize that whatever decision you make, if you decide in the future to change from Zoho Bigin to Zoho CRM or vice versa, it will be no problem. Zoho understands that businesses are evolving, growing, and/or changing, so they made it possible to have a seamless transition from one to another.
Unique Price Model
They are both fantastic CRM platforms, but Bigin is built and priced for small businesses, and Zoho CRM is a more robust and customizable CRM built for businesses with more needs. But even though Zoho CRM is more expensive than Bigin, it’s still one of the most affordable CRMs in the market. For some organizations, their price model is a major differentiator.
