The rate of technology adoption across the world tells the story of how Growing Businesses are taking to the trend.
Today, the B2B technology landscape is laden with software that aims to help organizations service their customers and stay familiar with their needs because they are the ones driving change.
However, in comparison to the challenges that enterprises face, Growing Businesses face unique challenges like-
- the lack of trained resources,
- limited funding opportunities,
- cashflow problems,
- difficulties in managing complexity as they grow, and
- access to consultants (tech and business).
To address these challenges, companies often integrate a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system into their sales processes. They expect the Sales CRM software to help them adapt to changing market scenarios and competition quickly, to be distinctive and respond to customer needs faster.
Yet, despite widescale CRM adoption, most Growing Businesses fail to generate meaningful returns from these tools. Key reasons being-
- Poor CRM adoption & usage
- Collaboration hurdles, and
- CRM software pricing barrier
Growing Businesses lack the time and resources to allow for such waste.
If you are a Growing Business who wants to adapt to market changes effectively, you may want to consider using a CRM that goes beyond a great technology stack.
This is where the Kylas Growth Engine comes into the picture.
The Growth Engine features a Sales CRM at the core of the Growth Engine, blended with support and expertise to help small-scale companies get the right data and insights, resulting in right decision-making and faster business growth.
Kylas Sales CRM Software for Small Businesses
1. Effective CRM Adoption
A Forrester survey states that below-par user adoption is the biggest ‘people’ challenge businesses face in their CRM adoption journeys. Some of the key reasons being-
- Most Sales CRM Software for small businesses are non-intuitive and difficult to use; Only a small percentage of the feature suite is utilized properly.
- Salespersons see CRM tools as just another way for managers to keep track of their productivity.
- Salespersons feed in incomplete & error-prone data and businesses ended up with half-baked insights.
In such situations, your sales team needs guidance to make CRM usage a healthy sales practice. Kylas encourages CRM adoption with-

When we think of collaboration, most of us think of an ecosystem that facilitates collaboration within the organization, that is, between teams as well as individuals.
However, it is common for businesses to bring in outside assistance to help contribute to ideated and problem solve. Most Sales CRMs for small businesses do not offer such a feature.

This is where technology and user access upgrades can break your bank.
