Here are 5 tips for using Zoho One:
1. New Account
As a new user, don’t create the account directly in ZOHO One. ZOHO One unlike other ZOHO apps doesn’t have a free plan, so if you will not pay after the trial period, you will lose everything. It is better if you sign up for
FREE ZOHO CRM account and then choose “try ZOHO One”. So if you want to remain free plan after 30 days, you can do it in ZOHO CRM Free.

You are only able to make the best of Zoho One if you are using the add-ons correctly. We suggest, when you log into your account, you may try running CRM, Campaigns, Invoice, People, Recruit, Sites, Reports, Meeting, Discussions, Planner, and many more. On the addition of these tools, you can make Zoho a one-stop destination for all your small business office needs.

The current assortment of apps include Zoho CRM , Zoho Invoice, Zoho Docs, Zoho Projects, and Zoho Today (for Projects). Each of these apps allows you easy access to your Zoho account.

This removes the need to email back and forth, saving your team from unnecessary administrative burden.
