CRM Health Check: an independent five-day CRM audit

A fixed-price review of your CRM platform, data, customer journeys and team. In five days you get an honest view of what’s working, what isn’t and what to fix first, with a 90-day roadmap to do it.

Is a CRM Health Check right for you?

It’s for businesses that know their CRM could be doing more, but want an independent view before deciding what to do about it. It’s also the quickest way for a new leader to understand where CRM really stands.

  • You’re not sure your CRM is paying its way
  • Journeys, data and processes have grown up without a clear plan
  • You’re considering a new platform but aren’t sure the platform is the problem
  • A new leader wants an outside view before setting priorities
  • Your CRM team or agency needs a clear plan to work to

What I review

Four areas, each scored so you can see where the biggest gaps are.

Platform

Set-up, integrations, licences and how much of what you pay for is actually used.

Data

Data quality, contactability, consent, and how close you are to a single customer view.

Journeys

Lifecycle and retention journeys, automation, segmentation, testing and reporting.

Team

Skills, processes, governance, and how agencies and suppliers are set up and managed.

Fixed price, agreed up front

The Health Check is a fixed price, so you know the full cost before we start, with no day-rate surprises.

The roadmap is yours, whatever you decide next. You can run it yourselves, bring me in as your Fractional Head of CRM to lead it, or move into CRM selection if it’s time to change platform.

CRM Health Check FAQs

What is a CRM health check?

An independent audit of how well your CRM is working for the business. I review the platform, data, customer journeys and team, and turn what I find into a prioritised 90-day roadmap.

How long does it take?

Five days. We agree dates and the people I’ll speak to before we start, so the five days go on the review itself.

What do you need from us?

Access to your CRM and marketing platforms, recent performance reports and data extracts, and time with the people who own CRM, marketing, sales or service, and IT. I’ll send a short checklist before we start.

Which CRM platforms do you cover?

The review is platform-agnostic. I’ve worked with HubSpot, Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, Braze, Dotdigital, Optimove and others.

How much does it cost?

It’s a fixed price, agreed before we start, so there are no surprises. Get in touch and I’ll send you the details.

What happens after the Health Check?

The roadmap is yours to keep. Some clients run it themselves, some bring me in as their Fractional Head of CRM to lead it, and some move into CRM selection.
