Briefly they are:
1. User-friendliness
A CRM system is only as good as its adoption rate. Look for an intuitive interface that your team will actually want to use. After all, there's no point in investing in a powerful system if it's so complicated that your staff avoid it like the plague.
2. Customisation
Your business is unique, and your CRM should reflect that. Ensure the system you choose can be tailored to your specific needs, whether that's custom fields, workflows, or reports.
3. Integration capabilities
Your CRM shouldn't exist in a vacuum. It needs to play nicely with your existing tools, from your email client to your accounting software. The more seamless these integrations, the more efficient your processes will be.
4. Scalability
While it's important to meet your current needs, don't forget to think about the future. Can the CRM grow with your business? Will it still be suitable when you've doubled or tripled in size?
5. Data management and analytics
In the age of big data, your CRM should be a goldmine of insights. Look for robust reporting and analysis tools that can help you make data-driven decisions.
6. Mobile accessibility
In our increasingly mobile world, the ability to access your CRM on the go is no longer a luxury—it's a necessity. A good mobile app or responsive design is essential.
7. Customer support
Even the best systems can have hiccups. When issues arise, you'll want reliable technical support and comprehensive training resources to get you back on track quickly.
8. Security features
With cyber threats on the rise, data protection is more important than ever. Ensure your chosen CRM has strong security measures and complies with relevant regulations.
