Why it matters

Choosing the right stack and managing tool costs are recurring questions. A messy CRM makes every report, routing rule and AI feature less trustworthy.

What practitioners should know

  1. 01

    Hygiene is ongoing

    Automations and enrichment keep writing to the CRM, so deduplication and field rules need owners.

  2. 02

    Route fast

    Speed to lead depends on routing and booking rules that are simple and tested.

  3. 03

    Attribution is directional

    Multi-touch models help compare channels, but few teams treat them as exact.
