dancerceo asked:

I am writing a marketing plan for class based on an on-demand software offering (think Salesforce.com, NetSuite, Basecamp). How much is the market worth? How fast is it growing? How many consumers or small businesses are involved? etc…

I’m looking for a good CRM product. Any thoughts? I’ve used and like Salesforce, but it’s expensive.

quinn b asked:

I have 3 products that I would like to get into health clubs. These are products that help in curing aching muscles. I do not have a huge salesforce that can go from one health club to another. Does anyone know of a health club buying group that is already providing products to health clubs that I could contact?
Thanks
