Over the years, I’ve implemented, integrated, used, and optimized many customer relationship management (CRM) platforms for my companies and clients. Prospects and clients often ask us what the best CRM platform is on the market. There is no best. In my opinion, a CRM with a great return on investment has three factors that impact its effectiveness:
- Process Alignment – does the CRM support the internal processes in your established organization or can your organization adopt the processes that the CRM supports?
- Utilization – does your team utilize the platform, its features, and its integrations to maximize your return on technology investment? This includes internal automation capabilities as well as external customer experience.
- Growth – is there evidence that adoption and utilization of the CRM are increasing your acquisition, upsell, cross-sell, and retention for your organization?
Regardless of whether you’ve implemented a highly customized and integrated enterprise CRM or purchased a simple CRM that has limited capabilities – those three factors will always be the same. I’ve watched large companies fail with some of the most highly-rated platforms, and I’ve watched small companies succeed with some of the most inexpensive and limited platforms.
