This document describes a hypothetical "nightmare scenario" where a company has only 15 days to analyze customer data, set selling strategies, and forecast opportunities in order to grow profits. It then outlines 8 steps the company could take to assess their current CRM capabilities, define an ideal state with improved visibility and prioritization of key customer data, streamline unused fields and processes, capture necessary information to guide effective selling, and integrate additional tools directly into Salesforce to support relationship management and a proven sales methodology, turning best practices into automated processes. The overall message is that CRM systems have long been overdue for this type of disruption to truly enable companies to run sales more effectively and make the customer the top priority.
