About Small Business CRM
Customer relationship management (CRM) isn’t just for large corporations anymore. In
today’s increasingly competitive business environment, where customer service is a key
differentiator, the use of CRM technologies is not only beneficial – it’s critical, even for
smaller companies.

But, enterprise-scale CRM systems can be quite intimidating for smaller businesses.
They come with hefty price tags and complex implementations, requiring more financial
and IT resources than smaller companies can spare. Additionally, their massive
features sets often provide more functionality than a small business needs.

Until recently, only larger organizations have been able to reap the benefits of customer
relationship management. But, several vendors have emerged with “lite” or small
business CRM solutions, to satisfy the needs of the small- to mid-sized market and give
smaller companies the same competitive edge.

What is Small Business CRM?


Small business CRM, or “CRM lite”, provides basic contact management capabilities,
without all the complex functions that only larger organizations require. They are
designed to support limited groups of simultaneous users (usually 100 or less) over
LANs, rather than large user bases spread out over distributed, multi-server networks.
Some of the more advanced capabilities that come standard with enterprise-scale CRM
packages are usually offered as separately-purchased add-on options.

Many small business customer relationship management applications are available as


hosted or on-demand solutions. This approach makes CRM more affordable, allowing
smaller businesses with tighter budgets to avoid up-front fees and pay only for the
services and features they use. Additionally, hosted CRM eliminates long, complicated
implementations, so smaller businesses can roll-out their solution quickly, with minimal
impact on IT resources.

Key Benefits for Your Company


Small business CRM packages provide the same benefits as their enterprise-scale
counterparts. They can enhance the productivity of your sales, marketing, and
customer service staff; reduce the costs associated with attracting, retaining, and
supporting customers; increase revenues by enabling you to plan and execute more
effective sales and marketing strategies; and allow you to deliver high-quality, world-
class customer service, so you can improve satisfaction and loyalty.

About Small Business CRM
Small business CRM solutions are also more budget-friendly than large-scale systems.
They offer smaller license “bundles”, and allow you to pick-and-choose only the
advanced features you want. So, you won’t waste money on unused licenses, or
capabilities you’ll never use.

Additionally, unlike large organizations, many smaller companies lack structured,


documented sales, marketing, and support processes. Small business customer
relationship management solutions can help formalize and streamline procedures,
so customer-facing operations can be improved across the board. And in smaller
companies, where staff members are often required to perform tasks and activities
beyond their traditional roles, CRM solutions can make employees more organized, and
help them perform more efficiently.

Does My Company Need Small Business CRM?


Companies of all sizes can derive value from a CRM solution. Whether you have
a sales force of one, or one thousand, or you manage one hundred or one hundred
thousand clients, CRM technologies can help you dramatically improve the way you run
your sales, marketing, and service departments.

But, not all companies need the power and complexity of enterprise-scale systems.
Consider a small business CRM solution if your company manages less than 500
customers and/or has less than 50 staff members supporting customer-facing
operations. Small business customer relationship management is also ideal for
companies with minimal complexity in their procedures, where the efficiency and
productivity of each individual is more important than coordinating intricate processes
across departments.

Common Small Business CRM Features


Small business CRM packages are primarily contact management solutions that allow
sales, marketing, and service personnel to keep track of their prospects and customers,
and more effectively manage related activities.

Most of them come with some standard reporting capabilities, so management can
monitor activities across multiple staff members. Other, more advanced functionality
– such as help desk automation, marketing campaign execution and management,
sales forecasting, order processing and tracking, and advanced analytics, are usually
available as add-on options.

About Small Business CRM
What to Look for When Choosing a Small Business CRM Solution
Although cost is likely to be a major factor when choosing a CRM solution for your
small business, it should not be the only thing you consider. Other qualities to look for
include:

Ease of implementation. Select a solution that is easy to install, integrate, and test, so
you don’t have to devote your limited IT resources to a long, cumbersome deployment.
Or, consider choosing a hosted solution that will get you up-and-running quickly, with
minimal burden on IT staff.

Scalability. While you may be a small business now, things could change down the
road. Choose a solution that can grow with you, and adapt as your user base expands
and your CRM needs evolve.

User friendliness. A solution that is intuitive and easy to maintain will eliminate the need
for you to waste time and money on training and administration.

About eSalesTrack
After many failed CRM implementations in a large organization, a frustrated core group
of sales professionals and management put their heads together to create eSalesTrack,
a solution that solved every need inside their company, and thousands of users in other
companies since.

Attempting to use everything from internally built sales automation tools, to


spreadsheets to massive “Big Business” CRM rollouts, all ended up failing because the
users found the applications to be a burden rather than a tool. Simple interface with
intuitive functionality is the key to an effective CRM tool and has been the cornerstone
of eSalesTrack since the first version was developed over 7 years ago.

Customizable and Feature-Rich


Fully customizable to meet the needs of your company, eSalesTrack offers quick access
to any piece of your data. With the most advanced reporting tool available in a hosted
CRM application, eSalesTrack can develop reports on any piece of information you are
looking for.

With collaborative tools like a complete e-mail platform, integrated audio/video


conferencing, and unique tools like the “Funnel Manager”, eSalesTrack delivers a
suite of features that allows organizations to manage and report on any aspect of their
customer relationships on a granular level. Let your customer know how much you care
about them, give eSalesTrack a try today.

User-Centric
Many CRM’s promote that their user interface is friendlier than the others yet when
opened, they look like all the others. From the initial page, eSalesTrack stands out as
the most user-friendly applications available on the market today. Seeing is believing.

Expert implementation guidance on the most user-friendly interface available continues


to be the reasons eSalesTrack customers are experiencing CRM success like never
before. By helping develop your internal sales process, assisting in the configuration
and set-up of your customizable application, and providing comprehensive training
to get users started quickly, eSalesTrack will give your users the tool they have been

About ProspectSoft
ProspectSoft has a simple message: “CRM is not about minimizing costs, it’s about
clear, accessible, Customer and Supplier Intelligence”. This is achieved through basic
maxims of delivering systems which communicate with people, integrate with systems
and provide mobility of data.

Communication of information around the user’s organization is essential for rapid and
effective response to customer and supplier situations. Integration with other systems,
particularly those in the back office, prevents wasteful duplication caused by the well-
known “islands of information” syndrome. Over 90% of ProspectSoft CRM Software
installations include remote and mobile users, meeting the ever-increasing demand
by managers, sales and support staff who are regularly on the road, for up-to-date
customer and supplier information.

The company was formed in 1994 as a specialist software house and has developed
considerable expertise in mobile database solutions and systems integration.
ProspectSoft CRM has evolved over the past 5 years and, following a 300% expansion
in the company since the start of the millennium, CRM solutions are now installed in the
UK and 12 other countries, from Sweden to South Africa, Ireland to New Zealand and
the USA. ProspectSoft delivers its CRM Solutions in the UK through 40 highly trained
and qualified resellers, backed up by in-house sales, support and consulting staff. In the
rest of the world, support is provided locally by distributors.

ProspectSoft Key Features


Both ProspectSoft CRM and ProspectSoft Web Solutions are fully modular to meet
the needs of a diverse customer market, regardless of type or size. The ability to make
alterations to almost any aspect of the user interface is included with every system.

CRM software core system functionality:

single installation process. Installation and subsequent support is provided by a fully
accredited ProspectSoft partner.

accounting software systems, including Access Dimensions, Exchequer Enterprise,

portal to; create new sales and purchase ledger accounts, view purchase history,
products and pricing as well as stock levels in a simple format – without requiring
additional accounting licences. Orders can then be confirmed directly into the accounts
Sales Order Processing.

Telephony Integration
ProspectSoft CRM software is compliant with Microsoft’s TAPI standard, so it can
be integrated “out of the box” with most widely used telephony systems to manage
outgoing and incoming calls. Users can automatically call companies or individuals from
any customer or supplier record, while incoming caller details are displayed clearly, but
unobtrusively. The system recognizes a DDI, switchboard or mobile number, or will find
the closest match. The caller’s details are then instantly accessible.

Mobile Computing
Customer or supplier information, including documents or accounting data, are
instantly accessible to any LAN user. The same information is available to wide area
network (WAN) users, so staff in other offices are always up to date. This is also true
for managers, sales or service people on the road, with laptop or tablet PCs, or PDAs,
over GPRS, 3G or Wi-Fi connections. Mobile users can access and process customer
information for example, to take orders or to receive and update service calls.

readily adopt and leverage to drive sales performance. ClaritySoft CRM fills the
space between contact management software and mid-market CRM offerings,
with a CRM solution that’s cost effective, implements fast, and delivers the right
balance of functionality and simplicity to ensure user adoption and a successful CRM
implementation.
