Zoho has grown revenue grown 314 percent over the last year, and seen 262 percent in partner lead revenue growth, said Vegesna. The goal for all of our customers is to allow them to easily customize, extend and integrate Zoho CRM with over 40 Zoho products and an increasing number of offering from third-party vendors.

The Zoho One offering, which includes all of Zoho’s applications in one offering has seen significant growth since it was launched a little over a year ago.

“We are seeing Zoho One as the future of the company.  We are now seeing clients us an averaging seven to 10 applications,” said Sridhar Vembu, Zoho’s CEO and Founder. “We see Zoho One becoming a multi-billion dollar business.”


Do you have the resources you need to run and manage your channel partners?

If not look no further than Gorilla Onboard.  For over 25 years they have been providing the services and talent the drives the channel. Partner recruitment services, Channel Account Managers, and Partner Marketing Management are just a few of the services they provide.


Zoho is taking dead aim at Salesforce as it expands its business beyond its traditional SMB roots. In addition, to help partners close more deals Zoho has now launched it’s first TV spots which aired during the NBA playoffs.

Zoho is moving more of it’s business to the channel because of current growth rates. The program offers 25 percent recurring commissions and is wide open for new partners looking for a CRM and business management solution for their clients.

Only time will tell if Zoho can crack into the top three CRM providers, but if their growth continues at its rapid pace, it may only be a matter of when rathe than if.
