User Adoption
• User adoption will vary across your organisation
– Some will buy in, some won’t
– “nothing in it for me”
• Barriers
– Ease of use
– Speed to update
– Learning curve
– Reliability
• Stick & Carrot
– Track logins, usage
– Thank them when they use it properly
– Nag them (or their manager) when they don’t
• Adoption starts at the top
– Management must be seen to use the CRM

Marketing Campaigns
• Your CRM has a wealth of data
• Use it!
– Segment
• Suspects, Prospects, Customers
• Industry
• Rebounders – lost prospects worth re-contacting after (say) 6 months
– Create monthly email campaigns
• At any time, there should always be one email campaign running
• Dribble the emails out over days & weeks, don’t send them all at once
– Measure
• Leads, Opportunities, Sales by Campaign

– Quick & easy to use
• Then, over the years, stuff gets added
– More Fields
– Mandatory fields
• The screens get confusing, data entry slows down
– New users get intimidated
