Why CRM, Why Now?

What almost seemed like a fad in the mid 90s is now a way of life… or is it? If you read some of the recent pundit analysis on CRM usage, you will find that most companies have not completely adopted CRM — and those that have, not all of them have done it successfully (which is a whole different subject for another time).

So, for those on the sidelines, why CRM and Why Now? Here is the simple answer:

[size=20]Why Now?[/size] Now… this is an interesting question… My first thought was, if you have been educated about the value of CRM, then why not now? It’s like saying, I am going to wait because I don’t need all that CRM offers. So, that in itself should be enough. But just incase you are not convinced, let add a few more reasons:

So, why would you not invest in changing the state of your business for the better. Small price to pay and perhaps…. just perhaps the key too keeping your business alive!

CRM is no longer for the big boys – the playing field is now level — you too can utilize automation to provide the best value for your customers.

With the Internet, the entire world is within 50 miles of my business. The proof is in the pudding — just sold to a company in Estonia, Saudi Arabia, Ireland and in talks with a company in Madagascar. Wow! Madagascar — never thought that the movie I so much enjoy watching with my kids would actually be a place that could use my products and services! :)

[color=blue] Easy Deployment: [/color] I want to do it but I don’t have the technical know-how. Okay, we have heard that one too… So, do you use Gmail or Hotmail or Yahoo Mail? In many ways, you can start using CRM — like opening up a new Gmail account. (I am just talking about opening the account — don’t forget the strategy side of things). With Online CRM, securely hosted somewhere else in the Internet Cloud, you can start using CRM today without hiring a full-time IT person or consultant. Just find the solution that is right for you (another topic for another day), and get cranking! Hey the best part about online CRM is that you won’t have to worry about Software purchase, installation, maintenance, upgrades and backups because all reputable online vendors include these features as part of the monthly cost.
