LEVEL 1
PATHFINDER
Take advantage of ad hoc CRM opportunities!
Pathfinders capitalize on CRM opportunities as they arise, but do not want to take on the risk and expense of building their own CRM practice and do not want to spend time, money, or other resources seeking out new CRM opportunities.
Pathfinders often prefer to hand off CRM opportunities to a trusted partner early in the sales process to save time and maximize win rates.
LEVEL 2
EXPLORER
Seek out new CRM opportunities!
Explorers generate new CRM business by building sound sales and marketing strategies, but do not want to take on the risk and expense of building their own CRM training, implementation, and support practice.
Once they have found a new opportunity, Explorers prefer to hand that opportunity off to an experienced and trusted partner.
LEVEL 3
PIONEER
Build a CRM market presence and reputation!
Pioneers want to build a CRM market presence to bring CRM opportunities to them, but do not want to (or are not ready to) build a dedicated CRM practice of their own.
Pioneers engage in direct marketing and sales collaboration with an experienced and trusted CRM partner to create and capitalize on opportunities and to build their brand—and sometimes their own CRM practice.
