“A distribution business will not find a better CRM solution than Tour de Force. Embedding the CRM system within Outlook makes it easy to implement, and the strong functionality built into Tour de Force has improved the productivity of our sales process.”

The first CRM / SFA software for distributors created by a distributor.

The best part about being "the first" at anything is that years later, it's still true. Back in 2001, Tour de Force DBA The MRH Technology Group© combined our experience in the distribution industry (almost 50 years) with the input of distributors like you and created Tour de Force, a new breed of Customer Relationship Management and Sales Force Automation software.

Five years later, Tour de Force has evolved into a powerful and flexible third-generation product used by sales forces in the electrical, fluid-power, and industrial automation distribution industries.

What's so different about it?

First, a tangible difference: Tour de Force is truly integrated with Microsoft Outlook and Exchange. If your business runs Outlook and Exchange, then you've got the infrastructure you need to run Tour de Force.

Philosophy behind Tour de Force
Most important, perhaps, is the philosophy behind Tour de Force's design. We created Tour de Force for sales people, to be used by sales people, to close sales. Successful sales teams are always moving sales forward. Nothing kills a sale (or a company) like complacency. Tour de Force was designed as a tool to help keep sales in motion.

Stop putting out fires.

Is your sales team constantly on the phone because they sell so much product, or because they are putting out fires caused by failure to deliver on promised expectations? Task management is vital in sales, and within Tour de Force. It's the difference between proactive and reactive selling. Tour de Force excels at helping sales people stay on task and deliver on expectations.

One of the most important of these requirements is Opportunity Management. Your company no doubt has a signature way of selling its products. Its a process that has evolved over time, and proven successful. You might use phrases like "sales funnel" and "managing the pipeline". Tour de Force 's Opportunity Management can help you streamline your sales process, enabling you to manage your sales funnel more effectively.

Opportunity Management = Perspective.

Ultimately, Opportunity Management in Tour de Force offers perspective. This perspective includes the ability to see the number of leads associated with each step of the sales process, where "bottlenecks" are hindering the process, and if there are too few leads at any sales stage. Armed with this knowledge, Sales Managers can help their sales force set priorities and close more sales.

Opportunity Management in Tour de Force comes in two variations: the standard Opportunity Manager, or the Manager's Console, the Opportunity Manager's bigger, smarter brother.
