WBSP643: Grow Your Business by Learning the Importance of AI-driven Change Management w/ Tim Morton

Send us a textIn 2024, the question on everyone’s mind revolves around the vast potential of AI. As we ask what AI can accomplish, a consensus emerges—pose a query about its capabilities, and you'll receive a wealth of answers limited only by imagination. Yet, an essential query remains: can technology genuinely resolve problems centered on people? Human resistance is often the first barrier when adopting new tech, underscoring the critical role of change management in guiding organizational evolution. Traditionally, challenges that evade purely technological solutions are left to change management. But a new possibility arises: could change management’s impact itself be amplified by advanced AI? This question sparks a deeper inquiry into the synergy between human-centered challenges and tech innovation, suggesting a path where AI complements rather than replaces the core human qualities of insight and adaptability, which are crucial in navigating complex organizational transformations.In this episode, Sam Gupta engages in a LinkedIn live session with Tim Morton, Founder of Prompta, to explain how AI is changing change management.Background Soundtrack: Away From You – Mauro SommFor more information on growth strategies for SMBs using ERP and digital transformation, visit our community at wbs.rocks or elevatiq.com.

Send us a textNot-for-profit startups, often operating with fewer than 20 employees and tight budgets, face significant challenges when implementing CRM systems.

These organizations need CRMs that can unify their various engagement channels—such as email, social media, and events—into a cohesive platform. The CRM tools suited for not-for-profit startups must bridge the gaps between these disconnected systems, offering visibility into customer touchpoints and improving engagement, all while staying within financial constraints.In this episode, our host, Sam Gupta, discusses the top 10 Non-Profit Startup CRMs in 2024.

WBSP639: Grow Your Business by Learning the Top 10 Large Company CRMs In 2024 w/ Sam Gupta

Send us a textAs organizations grow beyond the mid-market segment, typically surpassing 5,000 employees and approaching $1 billion in revenue, their CRM needs evolve dramatically. At this scale, a CRM system must handle more extensive workflows, complex team structures, and a higher volume of transactional processes. CRMs designed for smaller companies may fall short, either by complicating workflows or lacking essential capabilities. For large enterprises, a CRM must support a wide range of customer experience touchpoints—websites, email, SMS, and community-based interactions—while integrating field service, call centers, and service-centric workflows to ensure omnichannel visibility. Eliminating data silos and enabling seamless data collection becomes critical for strategic sales operations and territory planning. Advanced features like AI-driven tools are essential to manage large volumes of data, streamline territory management, and scale operations efficiently. Ultimately, selecting the right CRM is crucial for ensuring the organization can handle the complexity and scale of its customer-facing operations.In this episode, our host, Sam Gupta, discusses the top 10 Large Company CRMs in 2024.

WBSP638: Grow Your Business by Learning the Top 10 Mid-Sized CRMs in 2024 w/ Sam Gupta

Send us a textMid-sized companies, typically with 100 to 5,000 employees and revenue between $100 million and $1 billion, face unique challenges in their CRM needs as they grow. Unlike startups and small businesses, they require more robust, customizable CRM systems to support complex customer-facing workflows and consolidate touchpoints across various channels like call centers and marketing automation. While these systems don't generally integrate back-end operations such as accounting or supply chain management, which would require an ERP system, they are crucial for formalizing sales processes like territory planning and sales compensation. Additionally, industries that rely on channel relationships may need to manage processes like Business Development Funds (BDF) and Marketing Development Funds (MDF) through the CRM, even if full automation remains cost-prohibitive. Security also becomes a higher priority, ensuring that access to sensitive information is properly managed and that the system aligns with the company's growing sophistication.In this episode, our host, Sam Gupta, discusses the top 10 mid-sized CRMs in 2024. He also discusses several variables that influence the rankings of these CRM systems.
