The Problem with 'Soft' ROI
Many business owners sign up for CRM integration or managed IT because it 'feels right.' But when it's time to renew, you need real data. Here's how to get it.
Hard ROI Metrics
- Hours saved per week × hourly cost of employee time
- Increase in lead conversion rate
- Reduction in IT downtime minutes
- Decrease in emergency IT repair costs
Soft ROI (Still Valuable)
- Reduced stress for you and your team
- Faster onboarding of new employees
- Better data for decision-making
CRM Integration: The 5 Metrics That Matter
Lead Response Time
From hours to minutes? That alone can double conversion rates.
Duplicate Data Reduction
Sales teams waste 20% of time on bad data. Integration fixes this.
Pipeline Visibility
How many deals are actually stuck? Integration reveals the truth.
Your 90-Day ROI Tracking Template
Baseline (Before)
Track 30 days of: IT downtime hours, emergency repair costs, lead conversion rate, sales team hours on data entry.
Implementation (Days 1–30)
Track actual integration costs, training time, and early friction. This is an investment period.
Measurement (Days 31–90)
Same metrics as baseline. Subtract baseline from new numbers = real ROI.
Annualize & Decide
If 90-day savings > 90-day cost, you have a winner. If not, adjust or cancel.
