An Oracle study found most salespeople would rather clean toilets than update the CRM. So why do we love to hate CRM software and what can we do about it?
In this episode of Key Account Management in Action, I'm joined by Sam Wilcox, Managing Director of Tribecto Automations, who specializes in CRM & Marketing Automation.
We discuss problems and solutions with CRM software and how to use it effectively. And we explore why sales and key account managers find the CRM so difficult.
