Sales and CRM 
CRM (customer relationship management) seems like 
something that was meant to be done from your 
phone. You can find tools that work with Microsoft 
CRM, and Salesforce.com is developing tools that 
are not yet on the market. There are also plenty of 
smaller CRM companies that are willing to work with 
Android, such as Simply Sales, and several 
developers have introduced standalone apps for the 
freelancer. 
If you’re interested in using CRM apps, try a few out 
to see what works best for you. See Table A–15 for a 
list of sales and CRM apps.

Locale sets your phone’s ring 
behavior based on the time, who is 
calling, what is on your schedule, 
and the phone’s location. Set it to 
stop ringing during sales meetings 
or prioritize some calls over others. 
Many other apps also work with the 
Locale app’s settings.
