  4. Contact Us: M: +91 9611 171 345 Why do CRM fail? Lack of adoption The major cause of CRM failures is due to companies dealing with CRM integration as technology not a business solution. We should understand that CRM is not a technology based integration which once run and executed will be good forever. Instead, a CRM is never “complete” because our business is always changing and our CRM system needs to evolve according to market and customer requirements. A lot of companies will introduce Cloud CRM software to its employees with different ideas and once those expectations and ideas are not met due to market or technology limitations, most of the company’s staff will be reluctant to use a new process for their daily work. They see CRM process integration as an additional overhead on top of their routine process management and feel reluctant to undergo additional training and hands-on sessions. Sales Leaders and marketing heads should get actively involved in the CRM integration and explain its advantages to every stakeholders so that they can relate to it better. These activities will motivate employees to adopt CRM integration and create a more productive work environment for CRM usage. Copyright Reserved @ 2019 SalesBabu Business Solutions Pvt Ltd.
