A customer relationship management (CRM) system is a software application that helps businesses manage their interactions with customers. CRM systems can be used to track customer data, manage sales leads, and automate marketing campaigns.

There are two approaches you can take with CRM systems: picking one of the many off-the-shelf or a custom-built one. Off-the-shelf CRM systems are pre-made solutions that can be purchased and implemented quickly and easily. Custom-built CRM systems are designed specifically for a particular business and can be more costly and time-consuming to implement initially, but typically can work out cheaper in the long run.

There are several benefits to using a custom CRM system over an off-the-shelf system. First, a custom CRM system can be tailored to the specific needs of your business. This means that you can include the features that are most important to you and exclude the bloat that you don't need.

Second, a custom CRM system can be integrated with other business systems, such as your accounting system or your customer support system. This can save you time and effort by eliminating the need to manually transfer data between systems.

Third, a custom CRM system can be more secure than an off-the-shelf system. This is because the system can be designed to meet the specific security requirements of your business.

If you are considering implementing a CRM system, it is important to weigh the benefits of a custom CRM system against the cost and time involved in implementation. If you have specific needs that an off-the-shelf system cannot meet, then a custom CRM system may be the best option for you.

If the workload of your business demands that you take on another staff member, you have to do it.....Right? 🤔

Well...maybe there is another option you could explore first: to look at what your current workforce is doing and where they are spending their (but really your) time.

Are there areas of their work that could be either partially or fully automated?

Could a particular process be improved and streamlined so it takes less time to do?

Sometimes the answer is no, and you have no choice but to recruit, but quite often, with the right tuned to fit your business, the answer is a very big YES.

Maybe before you make the decision to take on a new member of staff and commit yourself to weeks of preparing a recruitment ad, combing through CVs, interviewing, onboarding, training, and hoping they don't drop out before the end of the probation period, maybe it's worth asking the question and seeing what's possible.
