Let’s talk about CRM objects for a minute. If you look at most major CRMs like Microsoft Dynamics or Salesforce.com , you’ll notice a few different objects: Leads, Contacts, and Accounts. But then look at marketing automation like Lead Liaison and you’ll see one object: Prospects. Not at all.

For evidence that a free entry-level product does not automatically drive out higher priced systems, consider the hosted CRM market. Salesforce.com easily dominates despite the presence of surprisingly capable free products like ZohoCRM and FreeCRM.

Disconnected systems and processes — and the limitations of most CRM and MA platforms, which were designed with leads and not accounts in mind — are the biggest obstacles we’re seeing with our clients.

Most CRMs allow you to track these people as a group within an “Opportunity”; however, that record is lost once the Opportunity is closed.
