Life without a CRM

Sticky notes plastered around the office, multiple spreadsheets to manage records, phone calls to juggle. This is a typical day for a small business owner. Apart from this, the entire day is spent on pondering how to increase sales, managing your team, and keeping your customers happy. 

Customers.

That’s your No. 1 priority. Because let’s face it—if you don’t have customers, you won’t have much of a business.

Your current way of working might seem to be cost-effective, but this holds you back from growing your business.

Most small businesses that want to grow, but are using older methods, ask these questions: 

  • “Is there a single place to store my lead and contact information?”

  • “Is there something else as convenient as Excel, because I don’t have time to learn something new?”

  •  “How about the leads I get from my emails, chat, and phone? Will they be logged automatically?

  •  “Will another tool help me easily integrate my email?”

CRM for Small Business

Enter CRM for small businesses

CRM for small business is a simple piece of software designed specifically for growing businesses to organize and maintain customer data in a single location with ease. Unlike clunky enterprise CRM solutions built for larger businesses, small business CRM is simple, pocket-friendly, and easy to set up and use. 

Understandably, there are several CRM solutions for small businesses, with just the right features, available at an affordable price. 

What do you look for in a CRM for small business?

For one, it helps you organize customer information, where spreadsheets and notes fail. So, a CRM not only imports all your contacts from Excel sheets or another CRM, it also gives you control over your data and saves time when you have to look up your customer information.

Good CRM is easy to use. If you are using Excel, you can easily make the transition. You also don’t have to dedicate a lot of your precious time to learn to use the software. 

Small businesses work hard. They also need support 24X7. The best CRM software comes with any-time support because no matter how simple your queries are, you deserve the best support. 

Small business owners and their sales teams are always on the move. You need to ensure that the CRM solution you select can be used on your mobile. The CRM application for mobile should be as simple to use as the desktop version.

You also need a solution that is affordable. Beware of CRM solutions that bring along with them lots of hidden charges. So, after you sign up, you will have to spend extra money on implementation, training, customization, and support. 

Our Story

Our backstory is not very different from yours. When our business was smaller in size, we thought that buying a solution made for large companies will also take care of our unique needs. But our teams wasted hours learning it and the terrible support did not help us either. 

So we decided to build a CRM solution from the ground up. We asked ourselves, “What do small businesses like ours want in a CRM?”

And we did just that with Freshsales CRM. 

Why is Freshsales CRM the best solution for small businesses?
