CRM for Small Business and Startups

Managing data and contacts is one of the most critical aspects of business growth for any organization. As your business grows, you get more customers, handle bigger teams and manage more vendors. Valuable information about the leads gets lost in the vast spreadsheets, emails, SMS and phone calls.

The growth of an organization comes with organizing the information in a way that can be used by everyone and that is where Customer Relationship Management is useful.

Benefits of CRM for a small business:

Organizing Your Lead Data: CRM system will help you organize the incoming lead data. You will know the source of the incoming lead, contact information and other information that will help your sales team convert a prospect into warm lead faster.
Scheduling and Tracking: With all the data on CRM, your sales team will never miss out on any potential lead. You can view emails sent, calls made, meeting scheduled and notes. This will help the sales team be efficient and managers to effectively monitor and take appropriate decision.
Faster Communication: Unlike any traditional channels, with CRM, you have a separate platform to manage all communications. CRM platforms will give you a solution with integrated calling so you don’t have to switch in and out of CRM.
Easy Customer Segmentation: Features such as filtering, sorting allows you to view clients based on location, deal size and other parameters. This will help your team prioritize warm leads and close deals faster.
Better Team Collaboration: Since every data point is visible to all the teams, it helps decision making. For instance, the Marketing team has good visibility to lead quantity, quality and make informed decisions while planning marketing campaigns.
Automation: Most businesses have repetitive tasks, such as sending out newsletters or weekly follow-up emails. These processes can be automated on the CRM platform so that the monotony of the activity does not take up too much of the team’s productive time.
