<strong>Can</strong> <strong>CRM</strong> <strong>Software</strong> <strong>Help</strong> <strong>Your</strong> <strong>Startup</strong> <strong>Succee</strong>d?<br />
Each year thousands of startups popup but only a few manage to achieve the true glory. Sure, a lot of<br />
them have developed good products to meet a critical need. But, having a good product is one thing and<br />
selling it is another. This signifies the fact that end users are a huge part of the startup ecosystem as<br />
they define the success or failure of a product or service.<br />
<strong>Startup</strong>s need to work aggressively to enforce customer-centric working philosophies. This will enable<br />
them to succeed and achieve sustainable growth in the highly competitive market. A <strong>CRM</strong> software can<br />
greatly help them attain this task. Unfortunately, a high percentage of entrepreneurs still hold the<br />
notion that customer relationship management software are like corporate jets or marble lobbies;<br />
good for large enterprises but too expensive for startups and small businesses.<br />
How wrong they are.<br />
This misconception arose in the early days of <strong>CRM</strong> when it was seven-figure expensive and required<br />
specialists for installation. The real poke in the eye was the early <strong>CRM</strong> software were awkwardly<br />
complex and poorly integrated. As a result, many employees never even bothered to use them.<br />
However, modern-day <strong>CRM</strong> solutions have evolved into highly usable software that can be expanded<br />
and customized according to a startup’s needs.<br />
However, it’s critical for startups to choose the right platform as not all <strong>CRM</strong> software are created equal.<br />
For instance, Funnel <strong>CRM</strong> is exclusively created for startups and small businesses. It’s simple, affordable<br />
and offers all the features that can help a startup grow and succeed.<br />
There are several other reasons why startups should use <strong>CRM</strong> software today. Here are three reasons<br />
startups should use this solution.
1. Less Work, More Sales<br />
Sales <strong>CRM</strong> software not only track your deals but also help salespeople effortlessly organize their<br />
customer data with automation. When such data is organized automatically, your employees can divert<br />
their energies toward closing more deals rather wasting time on mundane tasks.<br />
A reliable sales <strong>CRM</strong> software proficiently organizes the client data, so your employees can access it at<br />
any time without digging through their messy inbox or spreadsheet. Sure, data comes from various<br />
marketing channels but regardless of its source of origin and type, <strong>CRM</strong> enables salespeople to make the<br />
most of it and maximize their selling potential.<br />
<strong>CRM</strong> also eliminates the addition of any duplicate contact records that may otherwise slip through the<br />
cracks. You can even organize contacts with tags and keep a history of previous deals for quick
eference. Furthermore, you can record notes on customer profiles that can prove useful for<br />
remembering their birthdays, important information and important files.<br />
2. Lead Capture Made Easy<br />
A <strong>CRM</strong> is not just a way to manage customer information. Instead, modern-day <strong>CRM</strong>s are a combination<br />
of various features. For example, Funnel <strong>CRM</strong> let users create and embed web forms to their websites<br />
without any technical knowledge. It helps the startups capture leads they haven’t tried for. It makes<br />
them more efficient and better at selling.<br />
New businesses cannot afford to lose even a single customer. To achieve their goal, they need to use<br />
every single sign of interest from their prospective clients. Web forms can greatly help in this regard.<br />
They capture your work-related queries of website visitors and give startup employees the opportunity<br />
to instantly reply. Countless studies have shown that the quicker you respond to a prospect the greater<br />
your chance of success.<br />
Moreover, all these from web forms are directed into the customer database as Funnel <strong>CRM</strong><br />
automatically create their profiles by fetching their information from the web forms. In contrast,<br />
manually updating customer information is an inefficient and time-consuming process. Unless it's your<br />
core job.<br />
3. Wow Customers with Professional Proposals<br />
Every startup is launched to sustain in the long run. Perhaps, in the short run, a <strong>CRM</strong> software may not<br />
seem to be a good investment, but as your startup grows, the number of clients increase and scalability<br />
may become a concern, it can prove really useful.<br />
For example, some of the best <strong>CRM</strong>s for startups can store a high number of contacts and generate<br />
well-formatted quotes/estimates/invoices/proposals that will leave a professional impression on your<br />
potential clients. You can put together rich messages in the form of quotes or estimates and add your<br />
logo or photo to wow the customers.<br />
Many <strong>CRM</strong> users have drastically increased their rate of closing deals solely with this feature. These<br />
built-in proposal builders also allow you to set your desired currency, automatically calculate totals, add<br />
& format text, and set footer text, useful terms, additional links, etc. In brief, they’ll do all the hard work<br />
that salespeople hate.<br />
Bottom Line<br />
All in all, in its inception a new business must start functioning in a streamlined and efficient manner.<br />
Because startups cannot afford to let their potential clients walk away for a better service or product.<br />
With a <strong>CRM</strong>, your startup can find and retain existing clients by delighting them with outstanding<br />
service. This will give you an edge over your competition.
