Let's stop the chit-chat and talk financial performers. Right now, is your business running on a proper system or is it a chaotic mix of spreadsheets, a cluttered inbox, and half-forgotten chats?

Surely, if your customer data is available in ten places and no one can find it, sales will make it up. Marketing will rely on luck. Support will be endlessly apologising.

This is where cleartwo enters the scene. We help companies abandon their illusion of the functionality of the patchwork setup and launch cloud CRM that will not suffocate you with the clutter every day.

What is cloud CRM and why it matters

Breaking news: Cloud CRM is not some kind of unicorn. It is simply your customer data that is arranged properly. Amazing, right?

It is on the Internet which means that your important data is not stuck on a 2012-old office computer.;

Of course, the best thing here is that everyone now has the same information. Sales, marketing, support-all of them are on the same page at the same time. No more excuses.

Salesforce believes that cloud CRM is a real life-saver in the case of remote teams. And honestly, whether the majority of your team is now 'working from home' in pajamas, you should have it long ago.

Let's face it honest; businesses are pushing away been slow, heavy and a pain to maintain all the on-site systems.

Centralising customer data without nonsense

Stop acting like your spreadsheet can be a real database. That is a bomb ticking, and no you are not a bomb disposal expert.

Cloud CRM exclusively combines all customer information in one locality. Phone, email, order, and customer complaints-you name it.

This is the simplest automation that will spare you the trouble of stupid customer reruns due to your ignorance. No 'Sorry, I haven't heard that before' reruns.

If you want a simple version of this slogan, Wikipedia explains CRM as managing customer interactions over the course of time. You can read it here without any fluff.

Track the sales pipeline while lying to yourself

Sales forecasts? Generally, they are fancy clothing for a wishful someone. Cloud CRM puts a stop to these illusions of grandeur.

Each deal has a stage, each stage has a number. You see what is real profit and what is play with your mind.

Obviously, this only functions when your team actually does the right thing. cleartwo sets up the pipelines that resemble how your sales folks actually work-not some picture book.

Moreover, if your CRM links with your website or e-commerce marketing, leads will go directly into the system with no copy-pasting errors, thus no lost opportunities.

Marketing automation that does the boring work

Let's discuss digital marketing tools which claim to be clever but in actual fact still require babysitting. Yawn again.

Cloud CRM does marketing automation the right way. Segmentation, follow-ups, lead nurturing-all based on real data. None of this 'set and forget' rubbish.

This is the hotspot between cloud CRM and AI-powered solutions. Not the buzzword type, the truly helpful one.

HubSpot is clear of fluff with its guide to cloud-based CRM. Check it out.

Team collaboration without endless meetings

Meetings exist thanks to failure of the systems. Come on, you know this is true.

Cloud CRM is the software that keeps the team on the same tracks. Sales are keeping track of what Marketing is doing. Support is aware of what the sales team has promised. No one is guessing.

This is important when half the crew is on remote. Mobile access gives a chance to do updates at the time they happen instead of three days late.

If your CRM collaborates well between the internal tools or customized systems, team collaboration changes from a chore to a natural process.

Performance analytics that really mean something

Dashboards are pretty cool until you come to the realisation that no one bothers to check them actually.

A good CRM in the cloud points out really important numbers such as conversion rates, pipeline speed, campaign results.

This is not about prettiness; it is about decisions. Where to invest cash, who is sinking, what needs fixing.

Don't just take my word for it-visit the article explaining how CRM data leads to more savvy decision-making in this SIUE Online breakdown.

Security and IT support of businesses

Now for the panic question: Is cloud CRM secure?

Frankly, yes. In fact, it is probably more secure than an office server with a post-it note password on it.

Cloud platforms make use of encryption, access controls, and backups like pros. cleartwo helps SME's to get it really tight without freaking out.

Stop with the nonsense. Security is not about fear; it is all about process.

Cloud CRM in the operational model of modern businesses

This is the grand pivot. Cloud CRM is not an add-on but it is the very backbone of the system.

It unites sales, marketing, service, and leadership all into one platform. One system. One truth.

Pair it up with web development or cloud CRM integrations, and it will dominate your daily operations.

This is how the modern companies can be organized without the need for a mind-boggling complexity.

Common mistakes businesses keep on making

Let's cut these bad girls; they keep coming back.

  • Too many tools (all doing the same job, of course)
  • No ownership (one has to own it-boardroom directive: not the interns)
  • Zero training (installation is not mastery)
  • Messy data (put in garbage, get garbage)
  • Ignored dashboards (nice graphics, no movements)
  • Fake automation (push a button and wait to see what happens)
  • IT afterthought (oh right, IT exists)

To be honest, most of the times CRM is wrecked by lack of human touch but not by the software bugs.

How cleartwo actually helps

cleartwo does not sell fancy features you will never use. Our company is all about building systems that align with your actual work.

Cloud CRM, custom CRM systems, proper website, and e-commerce integration are all executed correctly- not just thrown together.

We also support AI marketing tools, but only when it makes sense, not just the latest hype from a networking event.

If you want less claw headache and better data-that is on target.

Frequently asked questions

Is cloud CRM only for big companies?

Not at all. Small business people need clarity and rapidness even more than those big ones-without hiring an army of IT folks.

Does cloud CRM replace my marketing tools?

Sometimes it does. Mostly it just connects to them so you don’t end up with even more systems to deal with.

How long does it take to set up?

It depends on how disorganized it is, but a solid rollout can very quickly deliver benefits.

Is AI really useful in CRM?

AI is useful when it generates leads, automates tedious tasks, and discovers insights. No, when it is just a drag on your pitch slides.

Can cleartwo support ongoing optimisation?

Of course. CRM is not a "set it and forget it" arrangement. We assist you in adjusting and improving as your business expands.
