Start your Trial using your own data
This trial guide will take you through how to configure and then use your own data. When you log into Tall Emu CRM, just click on the first database option (not the Demo Data option) and then click Select.
Before you start:
- Remember that you can switch between your own data and the demo database at any time – there is no limitation on how many times you can move between them.
- The database you have is unique to you – nobody else has access to this data, unless you choose to invite more users to share it with you.
- When you convert your trial to a full subscription, you can either take your existing trial database with you, or start fresh with a blank database.
- If you need any help, your trial period comes will full support, so please get in touch with us if you have any questions.
