TropoCRM vs Beacon CRM
Beacon CRM started life as a marketing tool and bolted on sales features later, so the CRM often feels like an afterthought. Reps get a cluttered interface designed for campaigns, not deals. TropoCRM is sales-native — the pipeline is the product, and marketing connects cleanly rather than dominating.
