Just had another look after first looking at it a few hours ago. Wow! what a difference. Changes I noticed: * Looks far less cluttered * Video now works for me (didn't work previously) * minor text/layout changes All in all looks much improved. The video explains things much better then the page itself, I think, although I'm not exactly target audience. Good luck :)
I'd reword that "sales scheduling, email to crm syncing, customer followups" like this: Schedule sales Sync email to CRM Follow up with customers I think bullets would be good too, because I thought it was "sales scheduling email to CRM, syncing customer followups" or something like that. It was confusing.
To be honest I would leave very quickly because I can't see what you want me to buy. (In other words you need to tell people what you are selling them, even if it is just a bulleted list).
I am a designer and I can point out a 100 things wrong with this design.

The images load on your site pretty slow for me on a fast connection. If this is systemic you can seriously influence the bounce rate by upgrading your bandwidth or using cdn's. I don't have the study in front of me but I recall reading the average amount of time a person will wait for a page to load before hitting the back button incredibly short. Think about offloading that to s3 or a cdn.
this is useful - thanks. we're using a tiny 256 meg instance for our static files (images, etc).
Edit: Looking at your source here are two suggestions:
The load time is getting hurt by the 75 requests for small images in the success area. You should consider an ajax approach that lazy loads those images and doesn't request a ton of images. If that is too much just pick 5-10 randomly and serve just those on each page load. No one is going to wait through the 75 success stories without clicking on the link.
Also, you should minify the javascript and css to cut down on requests and request size.
I'll cover initial impression first, and then go from there into specific things I notice. First impression: way too much pimping, way too little describing. The front page seems more focussed on who uses it and how awesome they think it is than on what it is. I have a vague idea from your bulleted list, but no idea what differentiates this from all the other CRM systems. The companies you list might, but that is of…
how about something like this? http://screencast.com/t/OGU2NWE0YT
