Belnet CRM: food for thought Some aspects to bare in mind: 1. Reflect on what you want your CRM needs to do & can do for you. CRM ERP, Configuration database, 2. Select a CRM vendor/integrator that understands your specific business needs 3. Talk with or involve the key users (Customer dept., Marcom,..) and map their needs & functional requirements 4. Adapt CRM to your business processes or adapt your business processes to CRM 5. Needs (instead of leads ) tracking is key for NREN s CRM should be the tool to so. 14
