Why You Should Have a CRM in Your Business (Customer Relationship Management)

As a small business owner striving for growth, it's crucial to recognise the importance of having a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system in place. Owning and having complete control of your potential prospects and customer data can make all the difference in achieving success.


Too many businesses make the mistake of keeping their customer communications within platforms like Facebook or LinkedIn, often with disastrous consequences. Just remember, if your customer database is on these platforms, you don't own it, they do! Platforms like Facebook have the authority to remove or suspend your account at any time, potentially leaving you unable to contact your customers. Furthermore, if your Facebook account gets hacked, you could lose all access to your customer connections.

The Essential CRM Components for Business Success

In the podcast above, Simon and Adam emphasise that having a CRM database is critical within business, and it's a foundational element you shouldn't be without. Key components of a CRM system include:
  • Prospect / Customer Details
  • Qualifying Leads
  • Sales Follow-Up
  • Prioritising Sales Activities
  • Owning Your Data
  • Team Communication and Tracking
  • Automation
  • Workflows
  • Lead Confidence Levels
  • Use the Data (Market Intelligence, Segmentation, etc)

The Transformative Benefits of a CRM System

Investing in a CRM system can bring about a wealth of benefits that can help propel your business to the next level. These advantages include:


  • Improved Customer Service/Experience, setting you apart from the competition
  • Enhanced Customer Satisfaction and Retention
  • Increased Sales and New Business Opportunities
  • Valuable Market Intelligence
  • Effective Tracking of Business Activities
