FYI, I think I am going with Google Contacts and Google Spreadsheets for now. When I being on a head of sales they can decide to use another CRM if they want, but I don't want to manage contacts two places and I want them in my phones (iphone and android). I may also play with insight.ly at the same time. I would use Highrise if it was integrated with Google Apps.

Thank you for all of the feedback.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The phone sync is particularly nice.

Google Contacts is not considered a CRM tool so it may not fit what you need. Good luck, let us know which one you choose to go with.

In case you don't catch the other comment I left...

Is there a way in google contacts to share you contacts between multiple users?

Yes. Google Apps now allows you to share contacts across the domain.

" Contact sharing does not allow users to share their personal contacts with each other." You still can't share contacts stored by each user's account

We used to use Pipeline, but recently switched to Bantam Live. Better pricing model, better user interface, decent reporting, plus it has an iPhone version. Worth checking out.

We used to use Solve360 but we use Bantam Live now too. Solve360 is actually a very powerful CRM platform/toolkit but the non-technical people didn't really grok it. Bantam Live has some warts but it provides a lot of functionality without making many compromises. Second that it is worth checking out.
