Check out Ivinex. It is very flexible in that you can easily customize it to fit your needs without needing a technical resource. It's much cheaper than salesforce.

Hello,

Try eSales from www.relavis.com . It works on Domino (Lotus Notes). So you don't need to worry much. Its customizable and very friendly. I implemented it for my previous Company. There could be newer versions now.
For a small to midsize company its good.
