Optimize Your CRM Platform

CRM isn’t a “deploy and forget” proposition: have a strong roadmap for optimization.

Implementation isn’t the final milestone for a CRM platform: if a CRM platform is left on its own, problems around data quality, business process support, and lack of end-user adoption will proliferate, undermining the business case for CRM.


Your Challenge

  • Optimizing an existing CRM platform is often more cost effective than a platform transition. Leaders in IT and the business are quick to point fingers at the tool when a CRM initiative is off the rails. However, many issues are addressable without an expensive vendor switch.
  • CRM optimization requires a strong approach to managing customer data. A CRM platform is only as useful as the data it contains: garbage in is garbage out. Use a mix of preventative and corrective measures to manage data hygiene.
  • Successful deployment of a CRM platform won’t matter if it fails to attract end-user adoption. Organizations often fail to articulate the value of a CRM platform to individual employees. Don’t focus your training on features; focus it on employee-centric use cases.
