When conversations or follow-ups start slipping, or a teammate needs access to customer history. ### Can founders start before hiring a salesperson? Yes. Connect your inbox and track your own opportunities. Invite your first seller when you are ready. ### Is Salesflare a free CRM? Salesflare offers a free trial, followed by paid plans. Choose it for less sales admin and consistent follow-up. ### Should we create a pipeline for every customer segment? Start with one pipeline when the sales stages are the same. Use fields and filters for segments. Add another pipeline when a segment needs a different sales process. ### Can Salesflare connect with our existing startup tools? Yes. Use [integrations](https://integrations.salesflare.com/) or the API to connect other business tools. Start with the handoffs you need, such as bringing new leads into your sales process. ## Pricing Automatic data capture is included on all of our CRM plans. ## Starting from $29 /month [View plans](https://salesflare.com/pricing) ## Explore more for your team ### [Startup CRM comparison](https://blog.salesflare.com/best-crm-for-startups) Choose a CRM for your startup’s sales motion.
