Start with the job.
Your goal is to move an enquiry to a completed sale. A useful trial should resemble the work you will repeat, not a vendor demonstration.
A practical sample
Prepare ten sample contacts, three opportunities and a follow-up due tomorrow. Use synthetic information wherever a real record would expose someone’s data.
What to test
- Import a small synthetic contact list, including one duplicate.
- Move an opportunity through your actual sales stages.
- Assign a follow-up and check how it appears to a colleague.
- Export contacts and opportunities, then inspect the resulting files.
