Homework Assignment

See if you can map out your process from Lead Generation to contract closure to post support

Lay the technology pieces on top of that process

Count how many times your company has to enter the same data during this process

Locate other data sources (excel spreadsheets etc.) that exist that you don’t even know about

With CRM poll your customer services, sales and marketing on what types of data would make their interaction with their customers better and faster?

Map this all out and attach business benefits and the metrics your company uses
