OUR APPROACH

The CRM industry’s hidden truth is that, right out of the box, all CRM platforms are virtually ineffective for meeting the specific needs of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). This is where our approach at Caldere to consulting truly shines.

We understand the unique requirements, challenges, and assets of SMBs, and we adapt CRM platforms to fit your business perfectly. Our tailored approach ensures that your CRM solution becomes a valuable tool, empowering your company to thrive and grow.

Instead of relying on generic, assembly line-style reports, we build custom dashboards that keep your company’s most crucial metrics readily available in real-time. By prioritising your business’s specific needs, our consulting services help SMBs unlock the full potential of CRM platforms and drive success.

ACKNOWLEDGE NEED
So you’re here. You’re might be wondering what sales opportunities are being missed because most businesses utilize only about 10% of their CRM’s capacity.

Or maybe there’s a gap between your idea of delivering great, personalized experiences and your customers’?

Or perhaps you’re concerned about silos developing throughout your organization? Are having vital KPIs at your fingertips proving more elusive as your business grows? Regardless, we’re here to help. Let’s talk.

DETERMINE INSIGHTS & PLOT PROCESSES
Our second call involves a more pointed line of questions in an attempt to raise your most enterprise-critical information above the water line.

Are you measuring the right stuff? Are your KPIs visible at a glance without having to pour over conventional reports and spreadsheets?

Do you have access to this information as it develops in real time or do you have to periodically dig for it? Does your data align with processes, near and long-term goals and performance expectations?

Our company DNA is deeply rooted in scientific processes so nearly everything we do is empirically-based. We’ve found this process is especially helpful in identifying user friction points and fixing them for maximum functionality.

But above all, we know first-hand that today’s competitive environment requires lightning fast adaptation to changing market conditions and customer expectations for survival.
While your new system will be built to evolve over time, we remain nearby to help your company stay current, relevant and agile.
