It offers skills coaching, content recommendations, and analytics to improve sales effectiveness. Midsize companies that want to improve sales team consistency use Membrain on top of or instead of a traditional CRM. (Zapier mentions it for designing sales processes.)

A balanced, user-friendly CRM for small businesses, known for good customer service.
