CRM system for your business

CRM System

for your business

CRM system for SME has a bad reputation for being overly technical, difficult to implement, and unfriendly to use.

Why?

Because the development time of any custom made CRM is really long and initial requirements can change drastically during the development and integration of any business processes.

For small to medium-size business owners who lack the funds or resources to customize the CRM properly to meet their company’s needs, it is extremely important to have the easy, intuitive and stable tool.

I also use two CRMs and try to choose the best one for my own needs.

There are several solutions that can be utilized for my companies.

My basic requirements for CRM:

  1. online tools – available from any location with the web access
  2. possible integration with Basecamp, Asana, Podio, Slack, MS Office, WordPress, etc.
  3.  possible integration with my accounting/financial software
  4.  integration with outlook/Gmail
  5. an integration with Getresponse/Mailchimp
  6. Google Analytics, Adwords, etc.
  7. easy to implement workflows for users with different access rights

After analyzing many tools my CRM list is shorter now. We know all of them and help with configuration.

Pipedrive

is not a typical crm. It is a tool for managing your sales pipeline or funnel in a very simple way – only $12 per user/month.

You can see ongoing deals arranged by their likely close date next to deals you’ve already closed. This way you can correct course before it’s too late: work on deals that are likely to close or find new deals to work on.

You may want to see your won deals arranged by ‘delivery’ or ‘implementation’ date. Feel free, Pipedrive enables you to fully customize the Timeline View.

I like most the Google Maps integration that shows you the localization of your contacts in a very easy way. You can plan even your route.
