Why do businesses need CRM systems?
Customer relationship management systems help companies by maintaining customer contact details, tracking each and every customer interaction, and managing customer accounts.
These systems are absolutely vital as businesses generate an immense amount of data daily.
Given CRM systems’ significance, one should carefully evaluate and compare their service of choice before moving forward with a given software.
Allow us to narrow down the options and compare two popular CRM systems, Insightly and Salesforce.
Pre-Migration Tips before Migration from Insightly to Salesforce:
- Analyze and clean up your records. Take the time to find out how your data is structured, where it is located, and which records need more attention
- Remove all unnecessary data before proceeding with the migration to Pipedrive. It will be easier to work with your new CRM system
- Create a backup plan. A backup will help to reduce the risk of data loss after data migration
- Inform your employees about the changes
