A Salesforce alternative for small sales teams
Short answer
Salesforce is built for big sales teams with an admin to run it. If you're a founder or a small team, Viro is a Salesforce alternative that needs a login, not an admin: it fills itself in from your calls, writes the follow-up with the proposal attached, and brings your Salesforce history across when you switch.
Why small teams leave Salesforce
- It needs an admin. Someone has to set it up, maintain fields and fix it when the way you sell changes.
- Most of it sits unused. Founder-led teams use a fraction of the platform and pay for all of it.
- It needs typing in. Activity, opportunity fields and next steps are logged by hand after every call.

| Write the follow-up | You write it yourself | Written in your voice and texted to you |

Moving from Salesforce to Viro
- Log in to Salesforce from Viro. Your history, fields and stages come across.
- Check the mapping before anything is written.
- Connect your inbox, calendar and dialer.
- From your next call, the follow-up and the record update are done for you. The admin work stays behind.
When to stay on Salesforce
If you have a large sales floor, a dedicated admin and workflows that other systems depend on, Salesforce may still be right. Viro is built for founders and small teams who sell.
