I invented a free online system for UK businesses to create their own private trading and contact management network which gives every UK business a free basic CRM with multiple product/service/collaboration blog hosting and other customer or supplier comms channels, a virtual shop window, supplier management with quotation request and respond tools, and an invitation tool to grow each businesses' contact network. There's a bunch of other free business tools on there too - pretty much everything you need to grow your customer base and make the supplier base more competitive.
Sounds great? In reality:
1) businesses are suspicious of anything that's free, even though it's non-profit
2) only a handful of the registered businesses use the tools effectively
