    Thank you KayCinho for taking time to do the video. Unfortunately, it would appear that just like you, I had hyped Perfex to others and didn't even bother checking if something as basic as sending email reminders out to clients before the renewal due dates was a feature or not. I'm really disappointed to learn that it does not. I'm now on the lookout for a better and more intelligent CRM script. :(

    OMG! How did I not see this for more than 2 years!!! I have been looking for something like this. I tried Dubsado, Honeybook, and currently use a self-hosted Invoice Ninja. I have been happy with Invoice Ninja but it's missing the crucial things like proposals, project management, and CRM. I really hope this project will be continually development once I implement it. I can't lie but I was a little skeptical about it's capabilities when I first saw that it was hosted on ThemeForrest. After watching your training I think this will be my first project next week. I will install on a secure VM rather than on a cPanel server. Thank you so much, Oh Great, Kay Cinho!

    I bought Perfex CRM about three years ago and have been customising the code ever since. We've added purchase orders, different types of contracts (ie. ways our customers pay for our labour) and labour reports, among other things. It's a great product. For anyone wanting to buy a CRM they can customise themselves it's a good choice. The code is relatively easy to work with. For anyone wanting something simple to set up you're probably better off using a cloud product (there are lots, like Zoho CRM). Perfex requires you buy some web hosting and install it there yourself. If you're not technical allow an hour or so from your IT person to set it up.

    Well said. Indeed, it requires some technical skills (mainly setting up a mysql database and creating a database user). And if you are using a langugage different than english, be prepared to translate the emails. For the interface, it is already translated in a few languages. But if you just want plug and play there are indeed more suitable options out there. Now, the pricing is hard to beat :)

Thank you so much! One think that caught my eye was the link on top bar "Customer area" (Demo Link) that allowed you to view as customer at 20:35, how did you do that? Custom CSS? :D

    ​@@KayCinho Oh.. I didn't realize you're actually using the Perfex's actual demo link. :D Thanks for the heads up, I figured out. Just if someone wants to implement the same - use the following link syntax /admin/clients/login_as_client/ For eg; Perfex used: perfexcrm.com/demo/admin/clients/login_as_client/1 (you must be logged in as admin) Yes, they've created a fake client (Shields-Hilll) account as you said, I verified under "Customers" section. To include the link (list item - "Customer area"), you'll need to edit the "header.php" file. You can locate that using your hosting File Manager>Open Perfex installed directory and navigate to application>views>admin>includes folder. Just add a at the right spot with an and href pointing to your corresponding customer id.

Starting from after the very fist login to inputting business details, to creating first customer, to what ever comes next steps e.g. what comes next is it the Proposal or the Project or the Invoice, what needs to be accepted first by client, all in correct order making sure newbie Admins know whats needed step by step process?

    You should get one license per website, since you will need a license to do updates. Now regarding the bilingual website, one license should be enough, since Perfex can be rendered in different languages per user preferences. You will just need to translate the notification emails, but the process is very straightforward.

    Perfex is a great product for such a low price, lots of features. The problem is the support. It's a 1 man business, just 1 developer doing everything and it usually takes weeks and weeks of chasing to get replies from him. Sometimes you never get a reply.
