Hi Richard, I use vTiger to manage my sales process, customer accounts and invoicing so would recommend that. SugarCRM is more full featured but may be suited to larger business.
If you are looking for a project manager/ collaboration like basecamp, i use ProjectPier which is open source and after installing looks and works better than basecamp. I don't know of any all in one online solutions, the ones i have seen still required multiple logins for the separate features like http://www.zoho.com/ good luck with the sales.
