CRM and Business Automation: How to Stop Losing Clients

The problem: chaos in sales

Sound familiar? Requests get lost in email, managers forget to call back, there’s no understanding of where customers come from. Without a CRM a business loses up to 30% of potential customers.

What a CRM is

CRM (Customer Relationship Management) is a system for managing customer relationships. It’s a single place for all contacts, deals, tasks and communications.

What a CRM gives a business

1. All requests in one place

Requests from the website, calls, emails, messenger messages — everything lands in the CRM automatically. Nothing gets lost.

2. Sales funnel

A visualization of the customer’s journey from request to deal:

• New request → Qualification → Negotiation → Proposal sent → Deal
• You see where customers “get stuck”
• Revenue forecast based on the funnel

3. Automating routine

• Automatic call reminders
• Sending emails on triggers
• Distributing requests among managers
• Generating documents (proposals, contracts, invoices)

4. Analytics and reports

• Conversion at each funnel stage
• Manager performance
• Request sources (which ads work)
• Average deal cycle

CRM integration with the website

Linking the website and CRM is a must-have for a business:

Scenario: a request from the website

1. The customer fills out a form on the site
2. A deal + contact is created in the CRM
3. The manager gets a notification
4. An automatic email is sent to the customer
5. After 1 hour — a reminder to call (if there was no call)
6. After the call — a task to send a proposal
7. After 3 days — a follow-up reminder

3. Setup — funnels, fields, automations
