The best CRM in the world is worthless if reps don't touch it. Adoption is a design problem, not a training problem.
The 3 rules that drive adoption
- If it isn't in the CRM, it didn't happen.
- Never ask reps for data the CRM can capture automatically.
- Make it faster to update than to avoid updating.
Modern CRMs like Nomina auto-log emails, calls, and calendar events. Reps do less typing and managers get better data.
