    Three Ways to Avoid CRM Fails

    By Apac CIO Outlook | Tuesday, September 29, 2020

    Most CRM tools are easy to implement and use, but to achieve profits from investing in a specific tech stack, knowing how to use all the tool's primary features to its full ability is essential.

    Fremont, CA: B2B marketing and sales alignment can be monotonous and tiresome. But with the right martech and salestech arrangement, strategies, and goals, it can help companies optimize results, subsequently reducing the stress.

    Customer relationship management helps the team coordinate their customer outreach and campaign strategies. But if the CRM's full potentials are not optimized, it could lead to a waste of investment and effort.

    Here are three ways to avoid CRM fails:

    Align it to Changed Processes

    Investing in a CRM is a multi-departmental effort requiring multiple stakeholders to sign off on what requires automation and where teams need to step in on the process manually. Sales and marketing teams need to align their activities, plan how to feed updates and notes on potential conversations into the systems for everyone to be on the same page.

    Investing in a new technology instantly dictates that different departments understand how and when they need to help ineffective use of the tool.

    Choosing the Right CRM

    Different CRM technologies offer different abilities, and each of these tools provides better results in one area of the entire marketing or sales environment. Choosing the right vendor can help in selecting the right CRM.

    Identify the needs before listing the vendors that offer similar characteristics to match business needs. Although budget can play an essential role in the choice of the tech stack, opting for the least expensive technology might lead to problems in the future.

    Shortlist a few more CRMs and try their free version or demo packs before making a final decision. Include other stakeholders in the decision-making process and make every department to get comfortable with a specific technology to make the alignment process easier and optimize results.

    Invest in Training and Development

    Adopting new technology for different departments without training them on how to use it will lead to failure in CRM adoption and use. Most CRM tools are easy to implement and use, but to achieve profits from investing in a specific tech stack, knowing how to use all the tool's primary features to its full ability is essential.
