What to know about CRM consultants
A CRM consultant is hired to make a customer database do something a business can actually use. Most of the work is not technical. It is deciding what a lead is, when an opportunity becomes real, which fields are mandatory, who owns an account, and what the sales team will be asked to type in every day. Software that models a process nobody follows fails regardless of which platform it runs on.
