The entrepreneurial world is the one with high uncertainties, surprises, and challenges. 2020 has just been that case, forcing business owners flip the ways their businesses operate, and transition to remote working, selling and servicing!
The overwhelming majority of these issues, and problems have been technology related. Under high pressure, and stress small and medium businesses have been forced to implement ‘fixes’ that vary widely.
One of the mistakes we have seen is trying to fix every technology problem independently, in an isolated and silo’ed mode. Many businesses have taken the services of different software providers. They use one software for their sales, another for marketing, yet another for support…
At first glance this might seem like a decent approach. Specialty software allow for different, ‘fit for purpose’ solutions… That is true, until you have to automate end-to-end processes across multiple functions (from marketing, through sales, customer onboarding and service, to finance and operations). What at first seemed like a perfect solution, turns into a devastating hindrance.
Ideally, businesses need one platform that has solutions for multiple problems. This ideal tool would be one that can be used at any point of the life cycle of a business. You can get it at the beginning, and then add more complex and robust features down the line, based on your needs and priorities.
Now only if there was such a tool…
