Biggest gain from your CRM
Collaboration over software > your COMPETITORS DON'T DO THAT
📅 15 Mar 2025
Faster collaboration = bigger results. CRM software alone won’t fix silos.
This week, I worked with a B2B company
Marketing, Sales, and Customer Care sat at the same table—not to discuss CRM software itself, but processes, data quality, and breaking silos.
📌 Key insight? The best-performing CRM teams don’t start with tools.
They start with alignment.
This is a tremendous opportunity for you, as your competitors don’t behave like that

Slide I presented at that meeting - it inspired the stakeholders
The Power of Cross-Functional CRM
Most CRM failures aren’t tech issues.
They’re people issues.
🔴 Sales and Marketing don’t share data.
🔴 Customer Care doesn’t have full visibility on client history.
🔴 Leadership doesn’t see CRM as a growth engine.
💡 The companies winning in CRM?
They bring everyone to the table—Marketing, Sales, Customer Success—before choosing tools.
Action Step for You:
If your CRM is struggling, fix the workflow first, not the software.
Organize a cross-team session: Marketing, Sales, and Support need to collaborate.
3 Secrets to Building a Strong Pipeline
1️⃣ Target the Right Prospects
80% of your pipeline comes from 20% of your accounts.
Stop treating all leads the same.
Identify high-intent prospects and leverage trigger events.
2️⃣ Write Better Emails
80% of emails are read on mobile.
You have 8.5 seconds to hook your reader.
Keep it under 75 words.
3️⃣ Master Cold Calls
Most reps hide behind email automation.
Pick up the phone.
It’s still the fastest way to build rapport and set meetings.
