The real issue

Selling quickly is good.
Selling and collecting payment is better.

If you're looking for a CRM to boost your sales team, Close often comes up in discussions. That's understandable: the tool is designed for sales cycles, follow-ups, calls, and sales productivity.

The problem often arises after the deal is signed. Once the opportunity is won, the final quote still needs to be generated, the contract sent, invoices issued, payments tracked, recurring subscriptions managed, outstanding payments followed up, and sometimes the project or customer support provided. And that's when many companies discover that an excellent sales CRM isn't enough to manage their entire business.

Close is strong for sales follow-up. DjabooThis one, however, is designed for SMEs that want to link sales, administration and cash collection in the same workflow.

Strengths and limitations

Close CRM: very good for the Sales, more limited for the future

If your primary need is to call, sequence, follow up, and move a sales pipeline forward, Close is a good fit. If you also need to quote, invoice, collect payments, and follow up with your customers after the sale, then stacking up tools often begins.

Close excels in commercial action
Calls, emails, SMS, sequences, and pipelines are at the heart of the experience. It's a tool geared towards sales cadence and lead tracking.
Very good for outbound
Teams that live in a cycle of follow-ups, tasks, and phone calls appreciate the fast-paced, closing-focused workflow.
Less natural for billing
As soon as it's time to move on to quote, billing or for covering, it is often necessary to supplement with other bricks.
Risk of a dispersed ecosystem
When CRM, signature, subscriptions, payments and projects each live elsewhere, you multiply re-entries and points of friction.

you're getting back into DIY

before: Thomas manages his leads in Close. When a deal is won, he copies the information into a quoting tool, then into invoicing software. Follow-up on overdue payments goes elsewhere. The result: double data entry, oversights, and 3 to 4 hours wasted each week.

Next with Djaboo: the same contact is used for prospecting, the quote, the signed contract, the bill and the payment He couldn't understand anything anymore.

Stack exploded
  • Sales CRM
  • Separate quoting tool
  • Separate billing
  • Track payments elsewhere
Unified workflow
  • Prospect → quote
  • Contract → invoice
  • Payment → reminder
  • Project → support
Concrete case

Close + integrations might work.
Until the day it breaks.

Lucie has linked her CRM, payment system, and invoicing via automation. On paper, everything is seamless. In practice, the slightest change can cause a payment to disappear, a reminder to be sent twice, or a customer to be created twice.

With Djaboo, the logic is simpler: the Payments, the Subscriptions, the unpaid invoice reminders and the customer view are natively linked.

Yes, in many SMEs. Djaboo covers prospecting, contacts, sales pipeline, follow-ups, quotes, contracts, and invoicing.
