Expertise and Support: Cloud9 is your ideal CRM partner
Are you an SMB operating in a Microsoft-centric environment?
Are you tired of managing a complex tech stack?
The challenges for SMBS
SMBs face a unique set of challenges when it comes to acquiring, retaining, and growing their customer base. They grapple with budget constraints, lack of specialised personnel, and the need to maximise the efficiency of their operations. This makes it imperative for SMBs to seek tailored solutions that not only address these challenges, but that do so in a cost-effective and user-friendly way. Let’s dive a little deeper into the specific challenges SMBs are facing:
- Complex and costly sales and marketing tech stack
SMBs often find themselves juggling multiple tools and vendors, each with its own learning curve, support, and integration challenges. The result? A fragmented and costly tech landscape that hinders growth.
- Siloed sales and marketing data and processes
Your CRM, marketing automation, and sales engagement systems may work independently, leading to data silos and misalignment between teams.
- Poorly qualified leads
Identifying truly promising leads can be a daunting task. Traditional lead scoring often falls short, leaving your sales team sifting through unqualified prospects.
- Lack of account and buyer group insights
In the B2B world, purchase decisions are made by teams, not individuals. Yet, most systems fail to capture the dynamics of buying groups, leaving you in the dark about your prospects' real needs.
- Manual and inconsistent sales practices
Many SMBs lack the resources to develop and implement efficient sales processes, resulting in inconsistent prospect engagement and wasted time
- Disjointed sales and marketing customer communications
Without a unified platform, your prospects receive mixed messages from your sales and marketing teams, causing confusion and slowing down the buyer's journey.
- Weak sales pipelines
Siloed data, misaligned teams, and poor-quality leads can lead to weak sales pipelines and missed opportunities. How can you strengthen the links between the different stages of your pipeline?
- Insufficient implementation skills
Implementing and integrating the right tech stack can be a hurdle for SMBs, often leading to underutilisation and unfulfilled potential.
We know that a one-size-fits-all option may not be the right one for your business. That’s why we offer 3 different solutions:
For businesses looking to host their entire customer journey within their CRM
For teams looking to take advantage of marketing automation
