Chapter 1 · Choosing Zoho
Is Zoho hard to set up?
Not if it’s set up once, correctly.


It’s actually pretty easy to get started. Start with the free version to see what you think: it allows up to three users, forever, though the feature set is limited (no email integration, custom fields, custom reports or workflows). If you need more users or more capability, upgrading is easy and quick.
What do I get with the paid version?
With the paid version you can start customizing Zoho to your company. The customization isn’t hard — it’s not rocket science — and Zoho gives you lots of options for how to set it up. You can watch YouTube videos or read our book, and plenty of people do.
At some point, it is not about the technical steps, but about best business practices. And that is where we excel.
How can a consultant help?
We help you understand the why in choosing options in Zoho. We take your company’s strategies and build workflows to automate your processes, so you get the most out of your Zoho investment — a system that supports the way you like to do business, set up quickly, and easy for your team to use.
We’ll also give you a head start with some free customizations. It’s our way of showing you how we might work together.
How do I sign up for a free trial?
Zoho is made up of over 40 apps. You can trial a single app, several, or Zoho ONE to try them all. The sign-up links at the bottom of this page carry Cornerstone’s partner attribution, so we can help from day one.
WHY
Hard is setting it up twice.
