When you have an interesting conversation with a client or lead, it may be useful to log details into your Salesforce without the need for a separate CRM app.
Crescendo allows you to perform number of actions in your Salesforce CRM directly from the app. Those include:
- Create SFDC Lead, Contact or Opportunity.
