Why is a CRM important for your business?

Businesses use CRMs for many reasons, but the real reason behind it is that they want to improve the customer experience and increase sales. But, when is the right time to implement a CRM?

We’ve encountered that many businesses start by simply storing their leads in an email marketing platform like Campaign Monitor or Mailchimp and their list of customers in a spreadsheet. This might be ok and could actually work… but not for long. At a certain point things will start to break because email platforms or spreadsheets are not made to function as a CRM. When you store information in different places, it can get tough to keep track of everything and it can lead to discrepancies between databases. One of the biggest issues with this method is when it comes to reporting as it can be difficult to visualize how different contacts or companies are connected. This leads to unreliable information, impossibility to integrate with your supporting apps, or track how your customers interact with your website. With a CRM, you can.

You may be able to get by for a while without a CRM system, however, implementing one will bring you peace of mind and will allow you to scale easier than if you wait for a disaster and implement an ad hoc solution.

How can I measure the ROI of a CRM?

If you’re here, we would have to assume that things like lead generation and revenue growth are important for you and your business. This means that whether you’re already using a CRM, or you’re thinking of implementing one soon, this question keeps flying around in your head: “Is it worth It?”

The global tech analysis firm Nucleus Research, says that the average ROI on a CRM investment is $8.71. In other words, CRMs return almost $9 for every $1 invested. However, this can be misleading because the return really depends on three key factors:

CRM features vs company’s needs
Whether your staff is actually using the CRM
If your staff is in fact using the CRM, whether they are using it correctly

But, assuming that all of these three factors are fulfilled, there are a few metrics that you can use to measure the success of your CRM:

Speed to lead

How quickly your sales team reaches out to leads after data-capturing makes a whole difference. In a study published in Forbes and the Harvard Business Review, it was established that “the chance of qualifying a lead when responding within the first five minutes is 21 times higher than when responding within 30 minutes.”

Lead nurture

This can have a great impact on your conversion rates, and there is a simple strategy to improve your lead nurturing processes: consistent follow up. It is of general knowledge that prospects say “no” at least four times before saying “yes.” Unfortunately, only a few sales people continue with the fifth touch point.

Lead organization

Segmentation is key in a CRM as your sales team can offer relevant information and services to the most responsive groups of customers and leads to better match specific products, services or offers.

Time saved

Employees waste an average of 55% of their time on administrative tasks, and your sales team is not unfamiliar with this situation. With a CRM you can automate a lot of your sales team’s routine actions, potentially saving hours that can be better spent on revenue-generating activities like active prospecting.

Sales staff productivity

Your sales team performance is not a fixed variable and is influenced by many things. However, individual and team productivity is a goal that can be measured and incentivized. A good CRM will allow you to analyze the number of leads processed and compare it by lead sources and other groups within your team. In cases like this, metrics like close deals per rep can be at your fingertips.

Having a CRM comes with many revenue opportunities. But, you will have to be aware that simply installing a system and telling your reps to use it won’t cut it. Implementing a CRM is not only an investment, but also a commitment that involves everyone in your business.
