When companies rely on spreadsheets and email to maintain the contact and customer information things can be pretty chaotic. Sales teams end up spending a disproportionate amount of time keeping the spreadsheets updated.
It is very difficult to collaborate with other teams using spreadsheets. Multiple copies are created, important information gets edited inadvertently and sometimes the entire sheet gets deleted. All of these just become unnecessary distractions from focussing on the customer.
A CRM helps small businesses be on top of their sales pipeline and associated operational challenges. The data is tracked in one place and it is secure. Your teams are able to collaborate well and businesses are able to generate more leads, close deals faster and support customers better to reach their business goals.
The CRM also helps to integrate data across multiple systems that a business uses - like your business emails, calendar, social media channels, and billing and invoicing system. Having a unified customer view puts all teams on the same page and empowers them to drive customer delight.
CRM software is not just useful for large organizations. Having a disorganized and fragmented sales tracking system can hurt small businesses badly. Implementing a CRM system gives your deeper insights into your pipeline, and helps small businesses to focus on their customer relationship strategy. When set up properly a CRM can be a valuable tool that enables you to automate time-consuming tasks, develop new customer acquisition tactics and provide valuable intelligence on sales trends.
Some of the core advantages of a CRM are as follows:
Does the CRM let you easily import and manage your business contacts? Tracking contacts across all stages of the lifecycle is critical to success.
Can you track leads and opportunities easily as they transition through various stages of the buying process?
Email marketing is the mainstay of most small businesses. Does the CRM make it convenient to configure and execute campaigns?
Opt-in SMS marketing campaigns can be a great way to get your business noticed and to stay connected with customers. Does your CRM offer integrations to support these?
Does the CRM support an integrated no-hardware telephony solution? This is critical for sales teams to stay connected with their customers.
Does the CRM make it easy for you to get insights into your customers and sales pipeline? A good CRM will have robust reporting capabilities with insightful analytics dashboards.
How easy is it to automate repetitive tasks in the CRM? Automation capabilities free you up from time consuming tasks and let you focus on customers.
As your business grows and processes become more complex, it is essential for multiple teams to collaborate around customer requirements. Does the CRM should make this seamless?
