Size of the partner

First, consider the size of the potential partner's company. Are they a small startup or a more prominent established firm? Each has its own unique benefits and drawbacks.

Smaller companies may have more flexibility and personalized attention, while larger companies may have more resources and experience.

It's also important to look into the potential partner's previous experience with your CRM system. Do they have a track record of successful implementations? Can they provide references or case studies? Are they using that CRM system in-house and as what they are offering you?

Industry focus

Don't forget to investigate their industry focus. Do they have a strong track record of working with companies in your industry? This can indicate their understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities that come with your industry.

Technical abilities

In addition, assess the partner's technical capabilities. Do they have experience with the specific CRM system you are looking to implement?

Do they offer training and support services for your team? Understanding their technical expertise can help ensure a smoother implementation and adoption process.

Pricing

Lastly, is the pricing in line with what you can afford? If a small business owner wants all the bells and whistles but doesn't have room in their tight budget, they should start off simple.

Make sure you have a partner that can scale with your business when the time comes.

In the end

Choosing the right CRM partner is essential for your organization's success. Consider these factors as you do your research and make a well-informed choice.
