Why do so many CRMs fall short of their potential to drive revenue generation and retention?

With the right setup, usage, and maintenance, your CRM strategy will be the key to unlock your startup’s true revenue machine.

On Episode 72 of the B2B SaaS Marketing Snacks Podcast, Brian and Stijn interview a special guest: Fadi George, co-founder and CTO of Kalungi and a RevOps master. He’s implemented Hubspot for so many companies that he created his own app to automate the process for B2B SaaS companies.

• What makes great CRMs great?
• How a CRM should support marketing, sales, customer success, the executive team, and more
