Chose Homerun Presales Platform

It is specifically designed for Pre-sales and it's easy to maintain giving a great overview of the information that really matters to our roles. It would be helpful and a time-saver to manage calls, notes, recordings and meetings too, and even links to GDrive repositories or sharepoint
There are some major gaps in feature functionality that I would expect for a tool that is supposed to integrate well with SFDC. For instance, notes do not format in SFDC the way they do in Hero, by Vivun.

Very easy to use platform, with integrations with other tools allowing data to flow between the different platforms.
