In every modern-day business, the customer’s data is one of the most important factors for the business. When a company implements a customer relationship management (CRM) system, regardless of whether it is Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, Monday CRM or something else, how accurate the customer’s data is in that system will have a direct impact on the organisation's sales performance, customer communications and decision-making.
But, for a large number of organisations, cleaning and maintaining customer data in a CRM system continues to be a difficult task. Sales personnel are generally focused on closing the sales deals, while the support staff is focused on answering customer inquiries, so there is little time available for either group to maintain the accuracy of records, to ensure there are no duplicate records, or to ensure all records are up-to-date. As time goes on, the inaccuracies and outdated nature of CRM data contribute to lost sales and confusion in the organisation's operations.
To improve this situation, many businesses are now outsourcing the entry of CRM data to trained professionals in the back office. Sphere Global Solutions helps businesses stay organised by keeping their CRM systems updated, clean and fully aligned to the business' sales processes.
1. The Real Cost of Poor CRM Data
Bad CRM Data Leads to Missed Sales
According to Experian, 27% of companies believe inaccurate customer data costs them at least 10% of annual revenue.
When phone numbers, emails, lead statuses or notes are outdated, sales teams lose track of opportunities.
Reduced Customer Experience
Incomplete or incorrect details lead to slow responses, repeated questions and poor communication.
Duplicate Records Confuse Teams
Multiple entries for the same customer cause wasted effort and inconsistent outreach.
Unreliable Reporting & Forecasting
Without accurate CRM data, leadership cannot rely on dashboards or pipeline projections.
This is why CRM data accuracy is not optional it is essential.
