Smart CRM Systems
At Pipeline Digital, we’re all about integrations and productivity. This is where choosing the right CRM for your business can be tricky.
Do you require marketing automation?
Marketing automation is the process of utilising technology to streamline marketing efforts and make them more effective. Think of a repetitive task you do in your role, for example, you might follow up on your leads using email communication. This is where automation plays its role in enhancing productivity – it allows employees to focus more on high-value activities rather than the daily repetitive tasks.
Choosing the right CRM for your business
As you can see from above, the choice of CRM is tricky. We are challenged more often than not to solve CRM issues, rather than help from the beginning. To avoid the most common issues, the process of choosing a CRM solution needs to start with the commercial strategy. We have a set of criteria we use to identify what you need and prevent you from falling over one of the common issues.
Are escalating costs going to be a problem?
Are you trying to manage escalating costs? If yes, let’s look at the features you need and provide a solution where costs don’t escalate. If you’re planning a new system and want to understand how costs can escalate, give us a call – this is the most common request we get asked to solve.
In our experience, escalating costs typically happen when features the client thought were available on their plan, actually were not. In addition to this, the CRM may charge you per user, and also the number of contacts you have. This is why planning and the commercial strategy are important.
Common CRM issues
