Do you find switching from one Google app to another time-consuming while working? Or is the communication with clients becoming tedious when you need to transfer information from Google to other apps?
Don’t worry! What you need is a CRM that can place all your Google apps in one place for easy access and usage.
In this article, we’ll explore everything you need to know about Google CRM and introduce you to one of the best Google CRM solutions available, Kommo. Kommo integrates with Gmail, Google Sheets, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Calendar, and Google Business messages.
What is a Google CRM?
The Google business workspace was designed primarily to accelerate interaction between team members. However, integrating a CRM into your Google products will expand functionality to include better client communication. Using a Google CRM turns your Google workspace into a customer relationship management hub.
What is Google CRM?
A CRM that natively integrates with Google products.
Why you need a Google CRM
Let’s go through the reasons why you need a Google CRM 👇
1. Google is a go-to product
With the rise of cloud-based software, Google products have become the go-to option for everyone. Integrating them with a CRM increases their efficiency and provides easy access to the platform that everyone already uses.
2. Ensure seamless communication
Using a CRM ensures that all communication with clients, whether via Gmail or Google Meet, is logged and conveniently available within the CRM platform. Your communication and information base is centralized in one place.
3. Increase your level of productivity
By centralizing client data and communication within a CRM system, your team can easily save time looking for information and lower the chance of data entry errors.
4. Automate your workflows
Integrating Google Workspace with a CRM system allows you to set up automatic follow-up emails, schedule appointments, and pre-record updates for various common actions or triggers.
5. Improve collaboration with team members
While Google Workspace already provides Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Google Drive as collaboration tools, integrating a CRM improves the effectiveness of these applications especially with client interactions.
Google Workspace vs Google CRM
It can be very easy to confuse Google Workspace with a CRM, but they are different. Even though Google Workspace provides the applications in one environment, each app can only be accessed separately. However, using a Google CRM brings all these applications to one place, so you do not have to keep switching from one app to another.
