Why CRMs Fail:
The Expectation Dislocation
The Expectation Dislocation

What you want & need. What you get.

Dislocation

Why CRMs Fail:
The 20 “You” Questions
Am I in growth-mode or cost-reduction mode? (Circle one)
How many employees need to use this today? _____
How many employees need to use this in 12 months? ______
How many employees need to use this in 36 months? ______
How soon do we need to be up and running? _______
What is my budget for implementation, customization, integration
and training? ______


Why CRMs Fail:
What is my in-house expertise?
How secure is my facility?
How good am I at tracking my lead generation campaigns?
What’s the ROI on my marketing efforts and what is the trend
over the last 3-6-12-24 months?
How quickly to I respond to new leads and inquiries?
Do I have a sales methodology?


Why CRMs Fail:
How good am I a tracking adherence to my sales methodology?
How predictable are my sales and what is the trend over the last
3-6-12-24 months?
How profitable are my sales and what is the trend over the last
3-6-12-24 months?
What’s my normal sales cycle and what is the trend over the last
3-6-12-24 months?


Why CRMs Fail:
What’ the lifetime value of a client and what is the trend over
the last 3-6-12-24 months?
How good am I at creating forecast/pipeline reports?
How good am I at securing referrals from great clients?
How good am I at securing testimonials from great clients?


Why CRMs Fail:
The 14 “Gotchas”
Too much emphasis on the vendor’s pedigree,
packaging and hype. (Your vendor having a Super
Bowl ad doesn’t make you money. Neither does the
fact that some Fortune 50 company uses it!)
Too much emphasis on the bells and whistles.
(97% of households still have blinking clocks on their
VCRs and 3,000,000 can’t even punch a voting card
correctly.)


Why CRMs Fail:
Failing to focus on serving your customers.
(One-hit wonders still end up on reality TV to
pay their mortgage.)
Failing to focus on building the relationship.
(AFTER the sale is where the reputation - and
the money - is made.)
Thinking prospects and customers can be
“managed.”


Why CRMs Fail:
Expecting too much too soon and too little
beyond their horizon. (Hyper-expectation + myopia
= :-(
Not knowing or understanding the role of
automation in growing their business. (Automate.
Integrate. Dominate.)
Looking to a CRM as a virtual “storage bin”
instead of a catalyst for growth. (Are you storing
for protection or accessing & leveraging for growth?)

Why CRMs Fail:
Not having a champion. (Somebody needs to
be fired up, competent and persuasive.)
Not leading from the front. (Duh!)
Creating silos of “cool users” and
“others.” (Together we stand, divided we
fall.)


Why CRMs Fail:
Not creating a fluid, symbiotic
integration of the technology with
your people, clients and your
business processes.


Why CRMs Fail:
Failing to understand technology is
not the answer. You are the answer.
Technology helps those with
questions find and choose you to
provide the answer.


Why CRMs Fail:
Jumping in too quickly without taking
the time to address the gotchas listed
here. (There’s a fine line between taking
massive action and being careless
because you’re frustrated.)


Why Do CRM Implementations Fail?

Your CRM Implementation CAN and
SHOULD be a success.
