1. Define your main business objectives

To choose the best CRM, you must know the objectives of all departments and the company priorities, because they have different services and characteristics that you probably don’t need.

2. Prepare the budget

You must prepare the budget that you are willing to pay for the new CRM, as well as for its implementation, maintenance and training of your workers. It is also important that you take into account not only start up costs, but also the benefits that the CRM will offer your company in the medim/long term thanks to the optimization of different work routines.

3. Easy, practical and intuitive

You should make sure that the use of the CRM is easy and intuitive for your employees, so they can automatize their tasks as soon as possible.

4. Involve the whole team

The main reason a CRM fails is because organizations fail to get their employees to use it correctly. If you want to avoid this, you must invest time and money in the training of the entire team, so they can take advantage of the potential offered by this investment.
