When you sell a dedicated website for a special deal, do you give the CRM for free? Is vTiger CRM your advice? Otherwise, what are your most common recommendations about CRM?

Unclear why you would recommend something I've never heard of over industry standards like Salesforce or AEM. And no, you wouldn't implement it for free - CRM is usually a more expensive implementation than the website itself.

I was doubting because to get the deal done, someone tried to negotiate that in a confident way. So, I was wondering about setting up a famous open-source solution like vTiger CRM. It's time-consuming, I will re-considerate my relationship with him. Thank you for your answer.
