Selecting a CRM Project Manager

 

When selecting a Project Manager from among the ranks of your company, do be sure to pick someone with a sense of authority (read: management skills) and a good amount of charisma. They will need both in order to motivate both your employees and the people behind the implementation itself!

 

It helps if they also have some experience with your business processes.

 

The reasons for picking someone with those personality traits are clear: someone with management skills will know how to deliver tasks to your deployment team in a way the team can understand. They also provide it with structure so the team adheres to a schedule.  As well, if that person is charismatic, they will be able to paint the chosen CRM migration in a positive light. They will motivate fellow employees to do their part to ensure the implementation goes smoothly.
