How can small businesses overcome the daily challenges

There are many different answers to this question, but what first comes in mind is the very basic of each business. Your CRM.
When we think of CRM, the first thing we think of is the time consuming work, servers, training of employees and the amount of money that has to be spent to install it! Is it really worth it?
Well, coming to think of it, how much time do you spend on gathering your company info? Whither it be your prospects, clients, financial reports, etc.?
When you’re called in for meetings, the preparation for the meeting takes up more time than the presentation itself because of all the different reports you have to gather and present, not to mention the different devices you have to take with you…Oh, and are they all updated?
The second concern that comes in mind is the size of the company. Many businesses think that since they’re small or very new, so there’s no need for a CRM. All can be done by hand and spreadsheets are the answer to all problems and charts.
Sorry to break it to you but business is business, no matter your size and number of employees. You still have the same headaches when it comes to finance, leads and reports. The only difference is bigger enterprises have employees for each department while smaller companies have one person who does it all.
Even if you start off with a small system, eventually you need to upgrade it and might end up changing the whole system…
In business, you always have to keep your head above water and think smart, towards the future, not just see what you have in front of you. So start smart from the beginning and go big in time.
Business owners tackle operational challenges, including sales decline, high client attrition, and misalignment between corporate revenue targets and salespeople’s commission policies, especially small businesses. As a small business owner, the last thing you want is to lose income by targeting the wrong customer segment, an indication for slender margins down the road.
Hence, the right CRM solution will improve your company’s customer service practices, helping employees respond to clients’ queries quickly and effectively.
Think big, there’s so much you have to handle that it’s not worth wasting your time on paperwork.

Need to Orgainze and Manage your Business?

What makes your business run smoothly and what makes it more frustrating?

Putting aside daily tasks and even arguments, what makes things more frustrating is not having a seamless system to organize and manage the daily workflow.

Sometimes, the end of months or even quarters are nightmares. You can guess why!

It's because nothing as it should be.

No support for reports, workflow or even financial issues. Your sales forecasts are based more on guesswork than solid figures

Your business is having trouble keeping up with its order volume and customer satisfaction is faltering as a result. You have no idea how much inventory you have in your warehouse, and it's a pain to find out.

Obviously, your company has no backbone and if this sounds like your business—or close to it—then it may be time to consider an ERP system.

 

 Even though change is hard and what's worst, is  adapting to the new system, but which is more of a setback for you?

Organizing your internal workflow saves time and as they say, Time Is Money!

The more you lose time in trying to organize business, the more you're losing money.

So stop wasting that precious energy and start investing right.

Every company is unique, there's no single indicator that says, "You need ERP now!" However, the companies that would benefit most from ERP software and accurate management systems often face similar problems and frustrations.

Organize yourself, take risks and from there, you can feel positive change towards your business.

Is your business facing some of these same issues? Then consider upgrading and managing your system.
