CRM, or customer relationship management, is a software system that helps you store, organize, and access your customer data. It is essential for pre-sales as it enables you to segment prospects based on their industry, size, location, pain points, and more. Additionally, CRM allows you to assign tasks and follow-ups to yourself or team members, track interactions and communications with each prospect, monitor your pipeline and forecast revenue, and analyze performance to identify areas for improvement. By utilizing CRM in pre-sales, you can streamline the process, improve productivity, and increase conversion rate.

Após implementar a ferramenta, utilizo o modelo Kanban para me organizar. A abordagem visual do Kanban me permite trabalhar os leads de forma inversa, priorizando os mais quentes do funil. Em vez de seguir da esquerda para a direita, como tradicionalmente, eu come?o da direita para a esquerda. Essa estratégia me ajuda a priorizar os leads mais promissores e frequentemente resulta em mais oportunidades agendadas no?início?do?dia.

I would add that there's a major difference between crm and sfa systems. (Sales Force Automation). Sfa is really what you discuss above. Sfa can be a subset of crm, absent from a crm implementation, a standalone system, and a standalone w integrations into crm. Salesforce can be both, is intended as both, as example. BUT BUT BUT often crm's are "implemented" without true sfa. Sfa= make the salesforce more productive. CRM = (Often by mistake) ... create reports for management. It can be cumbersome and thus not accepted by sales individuals, and a loss of field productivity, not a gain. If you truly want a humming salesforce, be sure each field individual sees a net gain in productivity not a loss. DO NOT ASSUME.
