P.S. Our Brazilian partner Br24 has recorded this webinar in Portuguese as well.
MAKE Interactive, a Bitrix24 gold partner, has updated it's CRM PDF app. This app lets you flexibly and attractively design quotes and invoices in your Bitrix24 Cloud service.
A compelling statement from one of our clients that triggered the development of this app was that a quote is often the first impression that the customer gets, since it is the first thing that they see with the company name and logo on it. Furthermore, the PDF or printed quote is an instrument of the most fundamental part of the relationship, payment for products or services.
The existing quotes in Bitrix24 are rather limited, especially concerning the layout of the components of the quote on the page. MAKE Interactive has solved this issue in an elegant way: by saving a .docx file in a special folder in the Drive, it becomes a template for your quotes. More than 1 template can be created and selected. After a Quote is made for the CRM, it can be selected in the App’s page, and the information from the quote will go into the template.
Every year something exciting happens. We imagine ourselves millionaires and want to spend hours browsing retail shelves in a search for that perfect gift for a loved one. Tis the season. For business owners this period is marked by incessant anxiety and frustration. There are way too many things to deal with! Worse even, customers are jumping ships and flee to your competitors because you happened to have missed some valuable insights about customer preferences.
But fear not. Thankfully, there is a plethora of information and research online that reveals the needs and wants of customers.
Based on the forecast for this year, the holiday retail season will be a blast. US consumers are planning to spend between 3.5 - 4.5% more than they did in 2016. Sounds like good news, doesn’t it?

Interacting, cognifying, flowing, screening, accessing, sharing, filtering, remixing, tracking, and questioning are the 12 trends that already started revolutionizing the way we live and work. CRM trends, even though on a smaller scale, follow the same defined pattern.
