Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I train other employees and use Focus myself daily.
Focus is a CRM that retains all customer information.

Pros

  • Daily work plan
  • Detailed reports

Cons

  • Sometimes you cannot see the calls on the customer profile
  • In my opinion, it is not easy to use
  • I think the reporting can be overwhelming for some
  • From experience, the appointments do not show up in the daily work plan

Return on Investment

  • Slows people down trying to learn it
  • Every option in there costs more money so the executives do not want to pay for things such as click to call
