If your organisation is at a particular stage of its evolution, you'll probably be familiar with the problems of users who maintain their own customer databases in Outlook address books, spreadsheets, mailmerge systems and email groups.   Some customers get letters twice, others none at all.  (Funny - you never hear from those, do you?)  Quotes go missing and the occasional important email falls through a gap.  Customers' requests for help go unheeded.

Something must be done, and that something is often the implementation of a Customer Relationship Management system (CRM).  You'll probably want to merge the whole lot, while at the same time cleaning and de-duplicating the data.  After some effort, the resulting integrated and trusted database can often revolutionise an organisation's contacts with its prospects and clients. 

However, and it's a big HOWEVER.  Some organisations never get the benefits they thought they might from a CRM implementation.  Often is was abandoned part-way because it was just too difficult.  Other times, the users never got listened to, and they hate the system.

Talk to us about how we can help implement a practical, workable CRM system for you.
