The work file for this software is a copy of FM Starting Point, which is a completely free and unlocked CRM. This free database works on Macs, Windows, iPads, iPhone and Android devices. We'll teach you how to customize it for your business needs while learning important FileMaker skills.
We spend some time discussing the FileMaker certification test and recommendations related to that.
For maximum awesomeness... this course will reference a number of third party products, a couple of books, etc. I make NO money in these references.
