Framework for a successful nocrm implementation process at your company

Implementing new software, or just changing a small process in a team, requires time and patience. In fact, when we are used to doing something a certain way, it's only normal that a new way will take time for us to adapt.

As lead management software, noCRM is extremely intuitive and user-friendly, but you and your team will need to become acquainted with how it works before fully adopting it. In order to make this process easier for you and your team, and based on years of perfecting the noCRM implementation process, we have designed the best framework for its successful rollout and a guide to help you onboard your team.

If you follow these guidelines, you'll be able to help your sales reps adopt noCRM in a smooth and efficient way.

Before inviting your team to join, make sure to follow these steps:

1. Define your sales process

Selling is a process, which is why without a specific sales process you won't be able to guarantee that your sales reps are doing what is needed to close deals. The first thing you need to do is define your entire sales process: sales steps, but also the activities that need to be done in each step, from prospect qualification to lead management.

2. Set up your account

Once you've defined your sales process and chosen the plan that will bring the most value to your team, you can start setting up your noCRM account.

Here are the key elements you need to start with:

3. Create/Import data

In order for your team members to get started properly, make sure to have data inside noCRM:

4. Integrate with other software if needed

If you're already a customer of another software that you wish to integrate with noCRM, such as VOIP or email marketing, make sure to check our native integrations and set up the integration to automate your workflow.

If not a native integration, you always have Zapier or Integromat to help you connect your existing software to noCRM.

As a last resource and for more complex integrations, you can use our API.

5. Plan the onboarding of your team

Once everything is set up, it's time to onboard your team. If you have a big team, we recommend that you start it slow: invite a few sales reps, those you know welcome change so that they can adopt the software and become the champions of noCRM, to help with the rollout internally. They'll be your allies in this process.
