Some of the needs of the business firms are identical like every business will have some contacts, will generate receipts, offer a product or service etc. But, ever business will be different from others in some aspects, for example, may be a business belongs to the tech industry, while the other is performing operations in FMCG sector. So, the requirements of both the businesses will be different and because their business model is not the same. Even if take a look at two banks operating in the financial sector, it is not hard to observe that although their product types are similar but not the same. So no one can deny that the need of every business is different.

Diversity of a CRM

Different CRM available in the market claim that can cater your all needs, but the reality is that if you purchase an ordinary CRM it will hardly offer you something that can differentiate you from your competitors. Commonly CRMs are developed for general purposes, they can perform some specific built-in tasks and fail to treat unconventional needs of business organizations. When we look at the clients the very first question they ask is what you are offering to us that is not offered by your competitors?
