Complexity of SALESFORCE CRM
Implementing a SALESFORCE CRM solution requires more than a significant investment in technology. While selecting the appropriate technology is important, it is not the only consideration. Investments in requirement discovery, combined with “hidden” human costs such as training and a well-organized rollout are critical.
Outside Consultants
Engaging an outside consultant is an efficient way toward delivering on time, under-budget results. The best consultants understand technology, the client’s industry, and human capital for an effective build-out. Technology and human capital can be somewhat consistent across various business types. Industry knowledge, however, can only be gained via experience.
Managed Rollout
As with any major initiative, stakeholder requirements need to be addressed. Having representatives of various departments collaborate prior to the rollout helps ensure expectations are met, minimizing potential conflicts before they occur. Effective training is also key to success. A program without a “user guide” is bound to fail.
Ongoing Nurturing
The launch means exactly that, launch! Manage your implementation. No CRM programs can be successful with a launch and forget strategy. Successful programs are managed and nurtured from day one. Waiting for a “perfect” configuration ensures nothing will ever be achieved. Once the technology is activated. Updates need to be quickly identified and implemented as they arise. Questions are a good thing. As is often said: “No questions = no use”.
