What is a Google Workspace
Google Workspace consists of a set of collaborative and productivity tools that allow employees to work efficiently, increase productivity, and improve customer experience, all possible at the same time. These tools bring teams together to communicate seamlessly, especially those who work remotely. They facilitate faster collaboration internally and externally.
These applications are powerful in themselves but have you ever thought about integrating them with a CRM? Yes, that is possible. Also, Google integration with a CRM can unleash your potential to a great extent if you utilize all the features to their fullest.
