Lucas Group Releases New Guide For Enterprise CRM Selection
ATLANTA (PRWEB) October 15, 2018 -- Lucas Group, ranked third on Forbes’ Best Professional Recruiting Firms list for 2018, announced the publication of its first technology guide, “How to Choose a CRM: A 5-Step Decision-Making Framework for CRM Selection,” authored by Network Engineer Clay Bateman.
Having recently taken part in the CRM selection process for Lucas Group, Bateman is now sharing his best-practice knowledge. The easy-to-follow guide breaks down CRM selection into five simple stages, providing a decision-making framework that is straightforward, logical and accessible to everyone.
“The key to selection success is to put a clear process in place from day one and to trust this process,” says Bateman. “That’s why we created this guide. From establishing ground rules to codifying requirements, this is a step-by-step framework that walks your team through the decision making process.”
The guide breaks the CRM selection process into five main components: establishing ground rules, identifying and outlining requirements, creating a CRM RFP, shortlisting vendors and evaluating RFP responses based on a weighted evaluation matrix.
“This guide helps prevent the simple missteps that can snowball into bigger problems,” says Bateman. “At each stage in the process, we highlight a common pitfall and how to avoid it. CRM selection is a marathon, not a sprint. Consider this your essential training guide.”
Bateman played an instrumental role in supporting Lucas Group’s transition earlier this year to a new CRM platform. The best-in-class technology allows Lucas Group Associates to tap into expert data and insights to better serve clients.
Lucas Group Associates provide consultative recruiting services across seven practice areas: Accounting & Finance, Human Resources, Information Technology, Legal, Manufacturing, Military Transition and Sales & Marketing.
