The top 3 reasons you don’t have a CRM - and why you need one

CRM

By Alessandra Ceresa

CRM isn’t new, yet so many businesses still aren’t embracing their need for a CRM platform. With CRM being so important and a hot topic of discussion, why have so many companies not yet invested in such platforms? A few reasons come to mind:

  • “CRM is too much for my business. All I need is email marketing”
  • “I do not have the money for a CRM platform”
  • “CRM is too complicated and will take too long to learn”

I completely understand these frustrations, however, all of these are easily overcome.

  • “CRM is too much for my business. All I need is email marketing.” That may be true now, but then how are you going to collect all the data you need to develop your marketing and sales strategies to attract more qualified leads? You can’t without CRM. CRM enables you to collect data about your customer to ENHANCE your email marketing.
  • “I do not have the money for a CRM platform” Investing in your business is the only way that you can GROW your business. GreenRope, for example, is a very cost-effective platform, that comes stacked full of tools you need. If you don’t spend today, you won’t be making much tomorrow.
  • “CRM is too complicated and will take too long to learn” We are the first to say that CRM implementation doesn’t just happen overnight, however that is why companies have training and onboarding processes to help you get up and running quickly. However, you must commit to training and be proactive. Just like anything in life, practice makes perfect.

The top three reasons for CRM investment:

  • Increase productivity
  • Close more deals
  • Provide a better customer experience

If you are a business owner, these three goals reign supreme. What business doesn’t want to accomplish all three? Well, that is where CRM can help you out.
