What is the Freshsales add-on?
You will be able to purchase Freshsales as as an add-on to your Freshworks Customer Service Suite account. This will help you capture deals, quotes, and more in your account. In addition to customer support, this add-on will enable you to capture deal details, schedule campaigns, and more within a single interface. This will help agents be more productive as they don’t have to switch between apps to update deal details, support ticket details, and more. This offering will help you empower your agents with complete customer context as they traverse through their evaluation-purchase cycle.
