You’ve chosen your CRM. Now what?
You’ve made the big decision—and now it’s time to implement. How do you ensure your new technology works for you? You may be wondering how it’s all going to get done, especially if you are relying solely on your software vendor or internal team. Are you asking yourself:
- Does our staff know how to do this?
- Do we have enough staff to do this?
- What if we make a mistake?
- What might we have overlooked?
- How can we plan to use our new system when we don’t fully understand it?
- How do we know what we don’t know?
- How do we ensure user adoption, once we make the change?
