Top 10 Small Business CRM Vendors Revealed 2008 Profiles of the Leading CRM Vendors Find the best customer relationship management system for your small business.
About Small Business CRM Customer relationship management (CRM) isn t just for large corporations anymore. In today s increasingly competitive business environment, where customer service is a key differentiator, the use of CRM technologies is not only beneficial it s critical, even for smaller companies. But, enterprise-scale CRM systems can be quite intimidating for smaller businesses. They come with hefty price tags and complex implementations, requiring more financial and IT resources than smaller companies can spare. Additionally, their massive features sets often provide more functionality than a small business needs. Until recently, only larger organizations have been able to reap the benefits of customer relationship management. But, several vendors have emerged with lite or small business CRM solutions, to satisfy the needs of the small- to mid-sized market and give smaller companies the same competitive edge. What is Small Business CRM? Small business CRM, or CRM lite, provides basic contact management capabilities, without all the complex functions that only larger organizations require. They are designed to support limited groups of simultaneous users (usually 100 or less) over LANs, rather than large user bases spread out over distributed, multi-server networks. Some of the more advanced capabilities that come standard with enterprise-scale CRM packages are usually offered as separately-purchased add-on options. Many small business customer relationship management applications are available as hosted or on-demand solutions. This approach makes CRM more affordable, allowing smaller businesses with tighter budgets to avoid up-front fees and pay only for the services and features they use. Additionally, hosted CRM eliminates long, complicated implementations, so smaller businesses can roll-out their solution quickly, with minimal impact on IT resources. Key Benefits for Your Company Small business CRM packages provide the same benefits as their enterprise-scale counterparts. They can enhance the productivity of your sales, marketing, and customer service staff; reduce the costs associated with attracting, retaining, and supporting customers; increase revenues by enabling you to plan and execute more effective sales and marketing strategies; and allow you to deliver high-quality, worldclass customer service, so you can improve satisfaction and loyalty. 2008, Business-Software.com.

About Small Business CRM Small business CRM solutions are also more budget-friendly than large-scale systems. They offer smaller license bundles, and allow you to pick-and-choose only the advanced features you want. So, you won t waste money on unused licenses, or capabilities you ll never use. Additionally, unlike large organizations, many smaller companies lack structured, documented sales, marketing, and support processes. Small business customer relationship management solutions can help formalize and streamline procedures, so customer-facing operations can be improved across the board. And in smaller companies, where staff members are often required to perform tasks and activities beyond their traditional roles, CRM solutions can make employees more organized, and help them perform more efficiently. Does My Company Need Small Business CRM? Companies of all sizes can derive value from a CRM solution. Whether you have a sales force of one, or one thousand, or you manage one hundred or one hundred thousand clients, CRM technologies can help you dramatically improve the way you run your sales, marketing, and service departments. But, not all companies need the power and complexity of enterprise-scale systems. Consider a small business CRM solution if your company manages less than 500 customers and/or has less than 50 staff members supporting customer-facing operations. Small business customer relationship management is also ideal for companies with minimal complexity in their procedures, where the efficiency and productivity of each individual is more important than coordinating intricate processes across departments. Common Small Business CRM Features Small business CRM packages are primarily contact management solutions that allow sales, marketing, and service personnel to keep track of their prospects and customers, and more effectively manage related activities. Most of them come with some standard reporting capabilities, so management can monitor activities across multiple staff members. Other, more advanced functionality such as help desk automation, marketing campaign execution and management, sales forecasting, order processing and tracking, and advanced analytics, are usually available as add-on options. 2008, Business-Software.com.
