ConvergeHub has been voted a Community Choice honoree in the 2014 Small Business Influencer Awards. ConvergeHub achieved the designation as the result of receiving top votes in the popular voting segment of the Awards, from the small business community. ConvergeHub was one of the top five popular vote getters in the category of Apps.

The Small Business Influencer Awards honor those who are influential to small businesses in North America, through the products, services, knowledge, information or support they provide to the small business market.

The Awards are designed to recognize the unsung heroes of small businesses – those who support and encourage entrepreneurs and small business owners, and help them achieve success and stay successful.

There are two different Award designations within the Small Business Influencer Awards:

  1. Community Choice
  2. Top 100 Champions

The Community Choice designation recognizes those whose communities have supported them with top votes.

Says Anita Campbell, CEO of Small Business Trends and one of the co-founders of the Awards, “Influencers are those who play crucial roles in the small business ecosystem, but who often are in the background. Many of the Community Choice honorees are themselves small business owners, entrepreneurs or small businesses.

Awards co-founder Ramon Ray of SmallBizTechnology.com notes, “Being recognized by the community as a Community Choice honoree also reinforces with employees that their dedication and hard work has paid off. The Awards are intended to provide that added boost in motivation and morale that can make a big difference in results.

As a level further from the past seasons, CRM Idol Committee has raised its bar of competition this year. ‘’After lots of work, significant numbers of submissions to go through, videos to watch and references to check, we now have a pool of contestants that any competition could be proud of. This year, by conscious choice, we’ve limited the number of contestants to less than half of previous years and will be offering the contestants more services in support of their growth even if they aren’t the winner of the contest.’’ – stated the CRM Idol website.

The second-time successive nomination of ConvergeHub in CRM Idol has precisely come at the right time – just weeks after ConvergeHub has officially rebranded itself. From what started as a Simple Powerful Unified CRM platform, ConvergeHub has transformed into a much BIGGER & BETTER Business Management Application with the new Tagline – Sell Market Service Collaborate. And this is precisely what will work as a USP for ConvergeHub in fighting it out with the 21 remaining CRM Idol contestants.

‘’Although ConvergeHub has been selected in CRM Idol 2013 contest as well, this year the CRM Idol judges will meet a different and improved ConvergeHub CRM. More than just a standalone CRM application, ConvergeHub will startle them with an amazing array of features, namely – business process management automation, document management, project management, quotes/invoicing, partner collaboration, and reports and analytics.

Whether it is delivering marketing messages via multiple channels, building one-to-one relationships with customers or increasing efficiency through business process management, ConvergeHub is powered to do all. Hence, ConvergeHub will come across as a powerful all-in-one web-based Business Growth Software for sales, marketing, customer service and collaboration that enables fast-growing small business as well as large enterprises attract more prospects, grow more sales and retain more customers.’’- said Manash Chaudhuri, CEO of ConvergeHub.

The launch of ConvergeHub has been made with the clear objective of revolutionizing the way SMBs deploy and use Cloud CRM; which is why ConvergeHub has been designed as a broad application as opposed to other discrete systems where the SMBs have to handle system integration or string together data siloes.
