Great Support, Quick Implementation, Real Results

Pros

  • The primary business problem solved for us was waterfall visibility across multiple channels
  • The secondary business problem solved for us was the accurate attribution of marketing influence throughout the waterfall.
  • The tertiary problem solved for us was the accurate tracking and visibility into lead initiated activity (response management).

Cons

  • We worked closely with the vendor to add functionality to their current release to allow us to track multiple separate waterfalls simultaneously in order to operationalize the new Sirius Decisions Waterfall model. With the needed changes, the product works as advertised, and is providing the specific results we anticipated. In 6 months, we have not found anything else that we would want to change.

Return on Investment

  • Beyond the reporting efficiencies gained through the automation, The ROI for Full Circle CRM does not come from the product directly, but from the decisions that can be made from the insights uncovered. We can see what is working and what is not, whether that be programs, processes, or people. Prior to implementing Full Circle CRM, we were making intelligent guesses based on a fuzzy view of the situation.
  • Full Circle CRM has uncovered opportunities for our organization to improve our marketing and tele-sales operations, which we have implemented and can see the results.
  • Our conversion rates are up across the early stages of our waterfall and we expect that trend to continue into our opportunity pipeline as we get further into the implementation.
