🎙In this episode of Systemize Your Success, I sit down with Jeff Tilley from muncly.com. He helps people to implement CRMs for sales and customer service and is a true expert in his field.

If you’re thinking about using a CRM or wondering what else you should be doing with your CRM, then listen to this episode before you invest and avoid making the common mistakes Jeff outlines.

We also discuss AI, how it's affecting the workforce, the myths, the hype, the scaremongering and what we're seeing day to day on the work floor.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

💡Strategic Planning Precedes Automation: Before adopting digital tools, clarify what you want to achieve. A thoughtful plan rooted in your business goals helps prevent wasted time and buying systems you don´t need yet.

💡A CRM Won´t Automatically Solve Problems: A CRM is a smart, centralised contact and communication hub that helps your business manage and nurture customer relationships at scale - but it’s only valuable if you have the right processes and people to use it.

💡Don’t Overlook Simple, Effective Tools: Sometimes the best productivity systems are low-tech, e.g., notebooks and voice recorders are powerful for capturing ideas, reflection, and organising your work.
