BEST PRACTICES AND PITFALLS OF CRM IMPLEMENTATIONS (2 of 2)
Successful approaches Common pitfalls and mistakes
Execution
• Redesigning organizational processes to fitthe core CRM system and the new CRMapproach
• Sequence phases based on priority of businessobjectives and value drivers
• Patient learning: Realizing CRM is an ongoing,iterative learning process (typically a few monthsper initiative, one to two years for “fulltransformation”)
• Starting small with few tactical (e.g., three-
month), high-impact initiatives rolled out to asubset of reps that leverage existing technology
• Sales group leading the change fromthe top down
• Rollout program based on availability andhierarchy of software modules
• Over-customizing the CRM system untilit replicates the old processes andapproach
• Impatient frustration: Expecting too manyor the wrong things and becomingfrustrated by early setbacks (70% of companies report little or no impact)
• Doing it all with a “big bang” approach to
attack too many unprioritized issues
• IT group leading the change bottom-up ,usually with poor coordination with businessstrategy and sales
• Getting the “other pieces” right by focusing
on training, support, and adoption as well asinstallation and design
• Focusing only on technology
implementation without accompanyingorganizational/process changes
