Jump into the Cloud – Can a Small Business Rely on the Google Cloud?
As a new chapter in my life unfolds, I have decided to head back into web analytics consulting. This leaves many options open to me for laptops, operating systems, applications, email accounts, etc. The only decisions are the ones that are right for my clients and to make my job more efficient.
After Google I/O 2011, I have been reading many articles about the Google Cloud and the upcoming release of the Chromebooks. This got me wondering, Can a small business really move everything into the cloud, predominantly Google’s version of the cloud?

CRM with Email to Grow Sales and Profits
CRM with Email to Grow Sales and Profits
CRM helps sales people remember to call the right customer at the right time. It helps them prepare proposals quickly. Some CRMs even help sales people send standardized emails to customers.
Sounds good but, we all know that you can’t just put a CRM in front of your sales team and expect success. Getting sales people using the CRM consistently is the biggest challenge. But all of this firepower is focused solely at customers currently in the sales person’s pipeline of deals to close.
If you’re close rate is a robust 30%, then 70% of your leads and prospects are just getting left behind for the most part.
What if your CRM sent email automatically to the 70% of your prospects that didn’t buy the first time?
Most CRM solutions have available integration with separate email marketing solutions. So, the sales people work their prospects in the CRM and then periodically, the marketing team mines the CRM for “cold” leads to add to their email marketing campaigns. If your sales people aren’t the best at keeping the CRM up to date, then many of their leads will be missed in this process or it will require a lot of research by the marketing team to find them. Either way, it won’t be consistent.
Finally, most email marketing solutions include escalating prices based on the number of emails in the list and emails sent. This discourages use of the long haul in this way and causes costs to grow over time.
Online CRMs like SalesNexus.com offer email marketing that’s automatic and can be activated by the sales person. SalesNexus.com CRM emails are also unlimited. Your costs don’t change no matter how many emails you’re sending. This makes it easy and affordable.
