# What a CRM system actually does, and how to choose one
 Jarrud van der Merwe
28 Aug 2023 3 min read
The short answer
A CRM system is the single record of every customer relationship. What a CRM should do, the signs you have outgrown spreadsheets, and how to choose one.
A CRM system is the single record of every relationship your business has with a customer or prospect: who they are, every conversation you have had, what they bought and what happens next.
That sounds like a contact list. The difference is that a CRM is where work happens. Emails are logged against the record, deals move through stages, tasks remind people to follow up, and reports tell leadership what is actually in the pipeline.
## What a CRM should do for you
- **One customer record**Contact, company, deals, emails, calls and tickets in one place
- **A visible pipeline**Every open deal, its stage and its value
- **Follow up that happens**Tasks, sequences and reminders so leads do not go cold
- **Automation**Routing, lifecycle updates and handoffs without manual admin
- **Reporting you trust**Forecasts and conversion rates from the same data sales works in
## Signs you have outgrown spreadsheets
- Nobody can say how many deals are open without asking three people
- A salesperson leaves and their pipeline leaves with them
- Marketing cannot tell which leads became customers
- The monthly board report takes two days to build
- The same customer exists in four files with four different phone numbers
If two or more of those are true, the spreadsheet is costing you deals.
## How to choose a CRM
Most CRM selections start with feature lists. That is backwards. Start with the process and the people.
1. **Map how you sell.** Stages, handoffs, who owns a lead at each point and what information each step needs.
2. **Decide who has to use it daily.** A CRM your sales team avoids is a very expensive address book. Test it with them.
3. **List the systems it must talk to.** Email, calendar, finance, ERP, website and support tools.
4. **Check the reporting you need exists.** Ask for your own forecast report in the demo, not theirs.
5. **Price three years, not one.** Seats, editions, onboarding and the admin time to run it.
## Where CRM projects go wrong
### Configuring before deciding
Building pipelines and fields before sales and marketing agree on definitions. The system then encodes the argument.
### Migrating everything
Importing ten years of stale contacts because it feels safer. Bring across what you will use and archive the rest.
### No owner after go live
Without someone responsible for properties, workflows and data quality, every CRM drifts. Governance is part of the implementation, not an optional extra.
## Why we implement HubSpot
We have implemented and rescued CRM systems for a decade, and HubSpot is the platform we build on because teams actually use it and it keeps marketing, sales and service on one record. It is not right for every business, and we will say so when it is not.

## What are you trying to fix?
Pick the statement closest to your situation, or search the site.
Just ask. It knows the portal work we do.
Describe what is going wrong in your own words and our agent will tell you what it is, what we would do about it, and roughly what that costs. It will say when it does not know.
