What is a CRM for small and medium-sized businesses?

CRM - that sounds posh, doesn't it? And yet crm stands for nothing more than managing your customer relationships. That's what every company does, regardless of its size!

A CRM system is a software that helps you with your customer management. This system gives you an overview of all the information about your customers: from the very first contact until the deal is closed and everything is finalised. All within one tool.

A CRM system for SMEs is conceived to match the size of your business. Think for example of a smaller number of users. This is nice for the overview and - no less importantly - also for your wallet. You only pay for what you use, which means you never pay more than you should.

Why does a SME need a crm system?

For SMEs, a crm system is a digital right-hand person, allowing you to work more efficiently and offer your customers the very best. All customer info - including phone calls, appointments made, quotations, time sheets - is stored in one central place. This way, you always have everything at hand to offer customers fast and personal service.

How do you choose a CRM system?

You are looking for a CRM system for your business. But: there are plenty of options to choose from. So how do you choose a CRM tool and what exactly should you pay attention to?

Before you choose a CRM software, consider formulating a CRM strategy. That way, you can determine which features are indispensable to your business.

1.

First, determine which pain points the crm system needs to solve. What are you running into now?

2.

Set goals. Now you know what you want to solve, this means you can start writing down what you plan to achieve. What does your ideal situation look like?

3.

Then, using points 1 and 2, note which functions your CRM system must offer. For example: shared calendars, time recording, drawing up quotations, linking with your favourite tools ...

4.

Do some research on available crm systems. Determine which CRMs offer your required features and keep them listed.

5.

Go through your list of crm systems and compare. What does one system offer versus another? And what are the costs? Do a cost-benefit analysis and make your final choice of crm software based on that.

Growing is fun, until you lose track.
