How to Optimize CRM Costs with Usage-Based Pricing Models

In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, where every dollar counts and efficiency is more than a buzzword, it's essential to question every aspect of our operational models. So, let’s start with a critical inquiry: Do you really need a full-time CRM system? Is it an indispensable asset driving your business forward, or could it be a significant overhead draining your precious resources?

This question isn't just rhetorical but forms the basis of our discussion today. Across diverse industries, from real estate to tech startups, the traditional full-time CRM model has reigned supreme. Yet, as we dig deeper, patterns emerge suggesting that this model may not be the panacea it once was thought to be. Instead, a new contender is gaining traction—the pay-as-you-go CRM model, epitomized by innovative solutions like Retentially.

In this blog post, we will explore how businesses are utilizing their CRM systems, uncovering usage patterns that vary significantly across sectors. We'll delve into the financial and operational impacts of sticking with a full-time model versus adopting a more flexible approach.
