Here are our top strategies to help you build an unstoppable CRM team.

Understand What CRM Expertise Your Business Needs

Before diving into our talent sourcing process process, take a good look at your business needs. There are different ways of being a CRM expert, some specialise in implementation, integration, campaign management or even the more technical aspects. 

  • Are you looking for someone to set up your CRM from scratch?
  • Do you need help optimising existing workflows?
  • Are you focused on data analysis and reporting?

Getting a clear picture of your CRM needs is key to finding the perfect job role and attracting the right candidates. 

Let us Handle the Job Advert for you

Instead of worrying about posting a standard job advert for a CRM manager, let WeDoCRM handle it for you. We customise the job description to reflect the exact skills and responsibilities your business requires. This ensures we attract the perfect candidates for your team, making the hiring process smoother and quicker, while you focus on your business.

We Prioritise Industry-Specific Experience

While CRM platforms can be universal, industry experience is often the game-changer. At WeDoCRM, we source candidates with the right experience for your sector. For example, if you’re a B2B tech company, we ensure the CRM expert we place with you has experience working in similar industries, ensuring they understand your specific challenges and customer journey. This tailored approach guarantees a better fit and more effective CRM solutions for your business.

We’ve also seen the value in hiring CRM experts who have deep knowledge of industry-specific best practices. It makes all the difference in how they’ll implement strategies that truly resonate with your customer base. For example, we are tech agnostic, and it is important to us to have experts who are familiar with CRM platforms such as Salesforce and HubSpot, to ESP platforms such as iterable and Customer.io.

We Check Technical Proficiency with Your Preferred CRM System

Whether you’re using Salesforce, HubSpot, or a smaller CRM platform, it’s critical that your new hire knows the system inside and out. The last thing you want is to bring on someone who has to spend months learning the software.

We look for certifications and hands-on experience with your CRM of choice. If they’re a Salesforce Certified Professional or HubSpot Accredited, that’s a strong indicator they can hit the ground running.

We Assess Their Problem-Solving and Customisation Skills

Every business is different, which means your CRM will need to be tailored to fit your specific workflows, sales processes, and customer needs. A great CRM expert should not only know how to use the software but also how to customise it. We ensure that the professionals we source aren’t just skilled in CRM software but also adapt to tailoring your specific requirements. For example: During our vetting process, we evaluate candidates based on how they’ve handled previous CRM challenges and developed custom solutions. This guarantees that the experts we provide can think on their feet and make your business more efficient.

We Evaluate Communication and Training Skills

Your CRM expert is likely to be working across multiple departments such as marketing, sales, and customer service and will need to translate complex data into actionable insights. Their ability to communicate well and train your staff on how to best use the CRM is key. 

  • Can they explain complicated CRM features in simple terms?
  • Are they patient and approachable when teaching your team how to use the software?

During our screening process, we assess each candidate’s ability to explain intricate CRM features in simple terms and gauge their patience and communication style when teaching staff how to maximise the system’s potential. 

Cultural Fit Matters

Even the most technically skilled CRM experts won’t thrive if they’re not a cultural fit for your business. Make sure their values align with your company’s and that they can work well with your team. They should be just as excited about your company’s mission as they are about CRM software.
