Defining CRM Success
"Is our CRM working?" is a question every leadership team asks. The answer depends on what you measure. A CRM with high adoption but no business impact is not working. A CRM with low adoption but high revenue impact may indicate a different problem. Success metrics must cover multiple dimensions.
