"Why Did Your Team Hate Their CRM?"

Definition: CRM (Customer Relationship Management)

• A system for tracking customer interactions and sales pipeline data

"Classic situation

• managers saw the CRM as Big Brother watching them. They would rush to update deal cards right before our one-on-ones. The real deal status lived in Excel or personal notes. As a leader, I was looking at 'dead' data that didn't reflect reality. I spent 2-3 hours daily just trying to extract accurate information."

What Was the Business Impact?

"First, we were losing deals because of outdated data. Sales reps would forget follow-ups because the real status wasn't in the CRM

• it was in their heads. Second, in meetings I'd hear success stories, but in reality, half of our 'warm' leads were dead. This distorted our sales funnel and revenue forecasts."
