# CRM & Sales Management

SmartTask isn’t just a project management tool — it also doubles up as a **powerful CRM** to manage your leads, clients, and entire sales pipeline.

## **Why use SmartTask for CRM?**

Many teams juggle between multiple tools for sales, communication, and task tracking. SmartTask eliminates this friction by combining **sales tracking, contact management, and follow-ups** — all within one platform.

### **Key CRM Features**

#### 1. **Contact Management**

* Maintain a centralized list of **leads, clients, and vendors**.
* Store details like company name, contact person, phone numbers, emails, and **custom fields**.
* Automatically link emails, phone calls, tasks, and deals to contacts for 360° context.

* Drag and drop deals across stages for intuitive management.
* Track **deal value**, **expected close dates**, and **assigned reps**.
