Flexible Small Business CRM: The difference between success and failure
The marketplace is constantly evolving. So is the customer. Gone are the days when getting new customers was as easy as creating a bulk marketing program and sending out mails.
Today, the customer is more market savvy than ever. The capacity of the business to respond to change in an effective manner can well mean the difference between a successful business and a ‘trying to be successful’ one.
In such a scenario, the company’s CRM system can render crucial support in creating an agile and precise business model. It is even more important to have a completely flexible CRM model to avoid implementation failure and to keep that competitive edge.
If you venture into the market looking for a new Small Business CRM system, you will find that most vendors are selling customizable CRM solutions. But you need to understand what it really means to avoid an implementation disaster.
A completely flexible Small Business CRM system will be easy to customize, deploy, upgrade as well as integrate with your existing system.
Deeper into customization
You need to understand that there is no CRM solution that will be tailor made for your company straight out of the box. Changes will be required. While some of these changes will be anticipated and provided within the software itself, others will need technical alteration to be successful.
There is a huge difference in configuration and customization. So do not mix up the two. Configuration can be done by any employee of the company whereas customization might require a technical user. The process or workflow can be driven by logical scripts.
For example, if the collections department freezes an account, an internal mail is send out to all the concerned departments about the freeze.
Today, most CRM applications offer next level customization techniques. A graphical interface is a common sight. Not only does this enable easy adaptability but also allows you to configure and customize the Small Business CRM at multiple levels.
