This online software helps users create Web-based sales proposals and send a private URL to prospective clients. The software comes with templates and lets you easily embed videos and pictures. It also lets you see when a prospect opens a file and for how long.
COST: $19 to $79 a month after a 30-day free trial

Salesforce Chatter

A Facebook for sales teams, Chatter has a secure, simple interface that lets colleagues post, share, and comment on things such as PowerPoint presentations and invoices. You can also add a widget to monitor tweets of clients and co-workers.
COST: Currently in free beta testing

Sybase Mobile Sales

This customer relationship management app gives users mobile access to data in their SAP accounts, including sales leads. It works on iPhones and Windows Mobile phones; a version for BlackBerrys is due this year.
COST: $15 a month per user or $405 for a perpetual license
