MBBS Direct: Zoho CRM Implementation Case Study
MBBS Direct implemented a complete Zoho CRM Implementation using Zoho CRM, Zoho Books, Zoho SalesIQ, Zoho Flow, and telephony integration to centralize student inquiry management and customer engagement. The solution enabled automatic lead capture from Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, website forms, and phone calls while improving lead visibility, communication, follow-up tracking, response handling, and overall operational efficiency.
