Successful Small Businesses – Time to Graduate to CRM

Successful small businesses are one of our favorite types of clients.   Technology can often make a major difference when a business has survived the initial startup mode and is now gaining traction in their industry.

 

When a small business is initially starting out, they can usually get by with emailing spreadsheets, leaving sticky notes on desks, and meeting frequently.  But in a growing business, these types of systems will break down.  The end result is lost opportunity, and a risk of stalling the business.
