Have you heard about mobile CRM?
It’s a solution that ensures the full operation of CRM on smartphones, tablets, and other Internet-enabled devices, which allows sales, marketing, and customer service departments to access and manage key information in real-time, wherever they are.
Just a few decades ago we can’t even imagine it. Not only to fit data and information but also to track and manage it in such a compact device. Now it’s too realistic. The question is, will the companies adopt a mobile CRM solution? What they can get instead?
# To Use or Not to Use: Opinions vs Statistics
The answer surprised us.
The mobile app has turned out to be not so popular if we are talking about working in CRM. Actually, there is no need for mobiles when we have a large screen on a desktop. And we got used to the morning openings of the sales manager’s laptops.
But what about international statistics? Let’s dive deeper into this phenomenon.
Forrester says 50% of teams improved their productivity by using a mobile CRM. A Nucleus Research report finds that for companies using a mobile CRM, 65% are achieving their sales quotas. Global mobile CRM market revenue currently stands at US$ 26.2 Bn and is predicted to exhibit progression at an impressive CAGR of 10.4% to reach a market valuation of US$ 52.4 By by the end of 2029. The North American mobile CRM market currently holds the largest market share of 25.7% in the global landscape. Sales of mobile CRM in Europe account for 20% of the global mobile CRM market revenues. No wonder, mobile CRM is a trend for several years and continue to be a trend in 2022.
