Plan up: Granted, you’ve invested on a CRM system or perhaps embarked on social CRM. Don’t just hit the road and start driving without knowing where your destination is. You should try and meet the entire team especially those that will manage the system for you. When your team knows where you are headed, problems that may arise along the way will be managed and fixed.
Choose the right technology: It is not necessary for you to acquire the most expensive CRM software there is in the market today. What’s necessary is to choose the right technology, which allows you and your staff to use it just as easily as browsing through the Internet. Otherwise, the software would not be appropriate for you and your staff to use.
Train up: End-users, that’s your staff, must be trained so they are equipped with knowledge and skills on how to operate the CRM system. This is usually the stumbling block of CRM systems that are just about to be implemented.
Correct management: Only designate qualified staff to manage the system. These are the people with the kind of leadership and skill that don’t require your constant supervision and guidance. Find someone who genuinely cares about proper implementation of the CRM system.
