From CRM Selection to Success

Wednesday, April 9 | noon - 1 p.m. ET

Not all CRM systems are the same - and neither are any law firms. Each firm is different with its own unique requirements, needs and budget.

In addition, respected researchers suggest that up to 70% of CRM implementation fail to meet expectations. A failed CRM implementation can be extremely costly, not just in terms of the financial expense, but also because of lost time, resources and credibility. Also, you don't often get a second chance to succeed after a failed CRM implementation.

This means it’s critical to get system selection right.

The good news is CRM success is possible. If you simply follow a few critical steps before and during the selection process, you can ensure that you select a system that will help you achieve your firm’s goals, enhance adoption and provide value to your users and return on your firm’s investment.

No matter what size your firm is or whether it’s your first CRM implementation or you’re contemplating switching systems, this presentation will provide insights and ideas to help you navigate the selection process and implement it successfully to get real results and ROI.

Chris Fritsch, CRM Success Consultant and the Founder of CLIENTSFirst Consulting, will discuss how to choose the right CRM for your firm, from initial requirements gathering and needs assessment to final vendor negotiation, selection and implementation. She will also provide actionable tips and share information, ideas and best practices for ongoing success.
