Developing Flowcharts to Understand Processes
CRM adoption is becoming an increasing problem amongst many sales and marketing teams. Businesses are spending a lot of money on it, but not seeing the value out the other side. According to Penina, there are many reasons companies avoid adopting a CRM, but to aid in adoption, there needs to be alignment across teams from top to bottom in terms of goals and understanding. At ScaleOps, they like to use flowcharts to ensure a common understanding of the process, no matter the business size.
Using Agreements to Align Marketing and Sales
As organizations grow, it’s easy for departments to get siloed, which then makes it difficult for them to align on projects that cut across departments. Lee and Penina dig into aligning marketing and sales teams from a marketing operational perspective. At ScaleOps they build out scenarios on what the client might want or need and agree with each team when they would be brought on, ensuring everyone is in agreement to promote alignment.
How to Audit the Customer Journey
When approached by clients who have an issue with their customer journey, ScaleOps begins with an audit to diagnose the true issue. For this, they dig into every aspect in order to see how the process really runs, compared to how it should run. Once they find where the issues lie, they are able to see where the opportunities to improve are.
