Salesforce tracks my website leads, including the page, campaign or keyword they came from; and I can keep track of all my interactions, send quotes and log calls and emails. I have full visibility of everything that pertains to any given client or lead. It also integrates with Google Adwords and a bunch of email campaign apps. I'm a big fan, as you can see, but it's amazing how impressed a client can be a year down the road when you can quickly pull up their record and talk to them about their company and past projects as if they just happened yesterday. Makes me look smart with no effort whatsoever...
