Sales CRM is Tooling Studio's cloud-based CRM software built for Google Workspace. It embeds CRM context inside Gmail through a Chrome extension, so you can view contact records, update deal stages, add notes, and manage pipeline work close to your inbox. ### Is there a free CRM for Google Workspace users? Yes. The Personal plan is free and gives individuals a practical CRM for contacts, organizations, deals, and pipelines. You pay when you want team collaboration. ### How does the Gmail CRM integration work? The Gmail CRM integration runs through the Chrome extension. When you work in Gmail, Sales CRM can surface relevant CRM context in the sidebar so contacts, deals, notes, and follow-up work stay connected to the conversation. ### What makes Sales CRM different from heavier CRM software? Sales CRM focuses on teams that live in Gmail and Google Workspace. It gives you real pipeline management, deal stages, ownership, custom fields, and collaboration without the setup weight of an enterprise CRM platform. ### Can I use this as a CRM for Google Contacts or Google Sheets? Sales CRM can use Google Contacts as your starting point, then adds the CRM layer that spreadsheets and contact lists lack: visual pipelines, deal tracking, ownership, custom fields, notes, comments, attachments, and team visibility. ### How does the AI-native CRM feature work with Claude? Sales CRM includes MCP access so AI tools such as Claude can work with structured CRM context. That opens the door to deal summaries, contact enrichment, cleanup workflows, and better follow-up suggestions based on your pipeline data. ### What business process automation workflows does Sales CRM support? Sales CRM gives teams a foundation for CRM automation by combining visual pipelines, structured CRM records, MCP access, and the Chrome extension. Common workflows include enrichment, deal summaries, follow-up prioritization, and cleanup of incomplete CRM records. ### Is Sales CRM a good fit for small sales teams? Yes. It is built for founders, agencies, consultants, service businesses, and small sales teams that want shared pipeline visibility without forcing everyone into a complex CRM rollout. ### What does the Chrome CRM extension do beyond Gmail? The Chrome extension gives you CRM access in the browser, with the primary experience inside Gmail. It helps keep contact and deal work close to prospecting and communication workflows instead of isolated in a separate CRM tab. ### How is this different from platforms like HubSpot? Platforms built for CRM sales and marketing at scale often require more configuration, administration, and process change. Sales CRM is a focused Google Workspace CRM for teams that want pipeline management, contact context, and collaboration without adopting a full marketing automation platform. ### What is the fastest way to set up Sales CRM? Connect your Google account, start from your Google Contacts, create one pipeline that mirrors your current sales stages, assign your first few deals, and invite your team when you need shared visibility. ### Does Sales CRM work beyond classic sales teams? Yes. Recruiters, agencies, consultants, founders, and service teams can use the same pipeline and contact management model for candidates, client relationships, proposals, partnerships, and other relationship-driven work.
