Harvest Solutions is a consultancy specializing in Customer Management Relationships (CRM) and Sales Force Automation (SFA) founded by Lejfer in 2001. It is known for its staff of highly experienced professionals and their commitment to a planned approach to CRM projects utilizing such systems as ACCPAC CRM, SalesLogix, Microsoft CRM, Goldmine and ACT.

I always try to be supportive of other entrepreneurs who seek my guidance."
