How do I begin my CRM journey with Sirocco?
We typically start our client work with a first, exploratory conversation where we try to learn as much as we can about your
organisation, current processes, and future ambitions. We often visit our customers to do floor walks and get first-hand insights. We give our feedback and suggestions honestly and often so that we can tweak and improve your sales, marketing, customer service and other processes together. We take a holistic view of your organisation and technology which includes integrations, teams and operations. We also conduct workshops to help tailor the CRM solution to your unique needs and requirements. Our mission is to deliver value fast, and continuously. We pride ourselves in transparency, integrity and accountability.
What are the benefits of using multiple CRM technologies?
We understand businesses are complex and every company has unique challenges. Using multiple solutions, known as “best of breed,” offers businesses the advantage of specialization, allowing different units to leverage software tailored to their unique needs, fostering deeper functionality and customization. However, this approach comes with complexity, as managing and integrating disparate systems can be resource-intensive and may lead to data fragmentation and compatibility issues. Additionally, your users may face challenges in learning and adapting to multiple interfaces, potentially reducing adoption rates.
On the other hand, some customers are adopting a single tech stack, or “best of suite,” solution which provides the benefits
of seamless integration between modules, simplifying management and promoting consistency across departments. This approach can be cost-effective and streamlines support and maintenance with a single vendor. Yet, it may lack the depth and sophistication of specialized solutions, potentially leading to limitations in customization and innovation. Ultimately, the choice between best of breed and best of suite depends on factors such as your organization’s priorities, resources, and long-term strategy. We are happy to give input if you would like to talk with us about your options.
How does Sirocco determine the right CRM for my business?
Short answer: We don’t, you do. But as your trusted partner, we will make valuable recommendations based on facts and experience working with many of the world’s leading CRM solutions, including Microsoft, Salesforce, HubSpot, and others. In our proven way of working, solving the processes always comes before implementing the technology. The decision of which CRM vendor is best for you is ultimately yours. Some guiding questions for your decision-making process will include things like CRM features and functionality, compatibility and integration, user interface and navigation, support and training, customisation and scalability, but also cost and terms.
Does Sirocco provide CRM training for all staff levels?
As your CRM partner, our goal is to help you run your business better. We can work on specific CRM projects or deliver end-to-end
implementations. We can help you find the right technology, get it to work, continuously optimise it, maintain it etc. And yes, of course, we can also help with learning the new technology or way of working. After all, the best CRM software is useless if your
teams don’t learn how to use it properly. Adoption, training and utilisation are within the project scope. Let’s chat!
