TECH SAVVY SMALL BUSINESSES ARE THRIVING

Publish date:

Small businesses whether run by a proprietor, a family, or a group always have their back against the wall. They struggle to retain business, especially when battling big players in their domain. For example, mom-and-pop grocery stores in neighborhoods are dealing with the loss of business to big players like Modern Bazaar, Big Bazaar, and so on. In these tough times where competition is so tough, small businesses need all the help they can get. One such big help is having a great tech stack or being “ digital first ” with the help of the best Salesforce partners.

What is digital first to begin with? Digital-first refers to companies that have used a minimum of 50% digital or cloud technologies since their launch. This includes email, video conferencing, document sharing, and the ubiquitous CRM tool (customer relationship management). As the majority of the tools in this digital-first journey or stack are cloud-based, it means that users have the freedom to work and be productive anytime and anywhere. This has opened frontiers and people’s productivity is on the rise. They can work whether sitting in a homestay in Mangalore or a villa in Pondicherry or a mansion in Joshimath confirms the best Salesforce partners.

VALUABLE ADVICE

Onboarding and adoption can be achieved quickly, and the desired results shortly.  1 in 2 businesses has said that results start trickling in within 3 months of any tool being adopted.

Plus, always good to audit the existing tech stack. This way the company management can decide which ones to keep, and which ones have outlived their utility. Keep it going. Over 40% of businesses in a survey responded that they look out for new tools that can integrate easily with their current tech stack. At times, rehauling the internal support channels is better than onboarding new tech tools to reveal the Salesforce global partners.
