52.6% of MH salespeople trust statistics.
Actually, I just made that up. I can’t find any data on that. But I do know that statistics — if you trust them — can show you trends. And those trends can help you make decisions.
With regard to a contact management program such as MhCRM, statistics can help you determine what a CRM can do for you, whether you actually need one, and whether you will truly use one.
Here are 11 statistics about CRMs that we trust and find helpful:

- For companies that use a CRM, the average return on their technology investment is $8.71 for each dollar spent. (Source: Nucleus Research)
- CRM users reported that the most important reason for acquiring CRM technology is the ability to improve the customer experience. That ranked higher than content marketing, mobile access, personalization, and social CRM capabilities. (Source: SuperOffice)

- Nearly two-thirds (64.8%) of sales reps’ time is spent on activities that do not generate revenue.
So, what do all these numbers mean for you? They tell us that: A contact management program can help you increase productivity and revenue across the board, businesses need the competitive advantage that a CRM offers, and you are more likely to make more money, be more productive, and have happier customers if you use a CRM.
Of course, you may not be interested in any of those things. 37.987% of salespeople are happy just the way things are (Again, I just made that up; if that number is true it is a colossal coincidence).
