CRM & Sales

Why does my CRM know the customer, but not their business?

In everyday sales, contacts are maintained, activities are documented and opportunities are tracked.

But when it comes to the actual development of a customer, the search often starts in ERP systems, Excel files or reports from distributors and partners.

Core idea
A CRM shows the relationship. Business development shows what is really happening.
One customer. Two perspectives.

The incomplete customer picture

A CRM alone does not provide a complete customer picture.

Looking at the CRM initially creates confidence. The most important information seems to be available.

  • Contact person is up to date.
  • Last activity has been documented.
  • An opportunity exists.
  • Tasks are maintained.
And yet the most important question often remains unanswered.
The real sales question
How is this customer’s business actually developing?
  • Is the customer buying more or less than six months ago?
  • Which products are gaining importance?
  • Which product ranges are losing momentum?
  • Is the business generated directly or through distributors and partners?
  • Where should sales take a closer look today?
A CRM describes the relationship. Business development describes the customer.
What is really missing

Contacts alone are not enough for good sales decisions.

A well-maintained CRM creates transparency about the customer relationship. Sound sales decisions require additional information about the actual business.
