Decide when is the Right Time to Upgrade

Chances are, if your company has outgrown your current CRM, you already have a sneaking suspicion about it. If you have been using ACT!,and you suspect that it might not be meeting your organization’s needs, read on to learn about the warning signs that it’s time to upgrade.

Ask yourself:

Is lead qualification, tracking and management important?

Is customer service and support crucial?

Do you need to integrate your product catalog into your CRM?

Do you need greater ability to tailor the way you do business?

Learn the warning signs that it’s time to upgrade

There are several ‘red flags’ that will appear when it’s time to upgrade your CRM.

• Are your new employees asking for a better CRM system?
• Have you become aware that your competition has a better system in place?
• Are your trusted advisors or consultants telling you that it’s time?

In many cases, new sales staff members will have experience with a sophisticated CRM system and will come to your organization with high expectations. If your staff or circle of advisors have noticed deficiencies in your current CRM, then it might be time to upgrade.

Is customer service and support crucial for your business?

As your business grows, you may find that your company’s needs are outgrowing the capabilities of Act! You need to evolve to keep up with the demands of the marketplace and your customers.

For example, you may need a better way to manage work flows and customer issues/resolutions by your customer service and support. On the marketing and sales front, you need to change the way you deal with lead scoring, sales opportunities, up-selling, cross-selling and marketing efforts.

If you are a fan of Act!, you’ll be thrilled to find out that you can move up to a more capable Infor CRM because of similar design and user interfaces.  Infor CRM (Saleslogix) is the next logical step for a business that has outgrown Act!.
