A CRM should reflect how the business actually handles leads, meetings, projects and customer communication. Start by documenting the workflow and the information users need at each stage.

Map the workflow

A well-planned CRM can reduce duplicate data entry, make ownership clearer and give management better visibility into sales activity.

What businesses should focus on

• Start with a clear business objective and customer journey.
• Build performance, mobile usability, security and SEO into development.
• Use analytics and real customer feedback to improve the experience.
• Keep the technology maintainable so future changes are easier.
