Why are you implementing CRM?

by CharlieSpencer In reply to how to overcome resistanc ...

Do your managers have a problem with existing customer management methods? Did anyone in Sales, Marketing, Customer Relations, or Customer Service ask for a new CRM tool? Did you ask users what they wanted BEFORE you installed this new tool?

It sounds like you're doing this backwards. You have to get management interested BEFORE you bring in an application, not afterward. That's 'best practice'.
