Purchase options and add-ons

In the book "How Not To F*CK Up A CRM System," I share real-life stories and offer invaluable insights to help you create a successful CRM implementation. One key focus is satisfying people and ensuring their contributions to the system are effortless while providing them significant value in return. The goal is to establish a process that minimizes the data entry burden, making it far outweigh the benefits they receive from the system. It is even better if their specific contributions can directly correlate with increased business value, such as generating more sales, accelerating business development, and boosting personal commission.

Throughout the book, I dispel the myth of finding a silver bullet solution that magically makes everyone happy. The truth is, there is no perfect company to install and operate the CRM system. The idea of an ideal installation partner is also just a myth. And most importantly, you will never have a perfect set of users. Instead, you will encounter a diverse mix of individuals, ranging from those eager to help, understanding, and committed individuals to those who are time-stretched, unenthusiastic, overwhelmed, or even obstructive.

To navigate these challenges, the book emphasizes the need to change your behavior and set realistic goals and expectations for system usage and the corresponding value you expect to achieve. It is crucial to adapt to and manage the different attitudes and behaviors of the users, ensuring they understand the benefits of the CRM system and fostering a collaborative environment.

Drawing on real-world case studies, "How Not To F*CK Up A CRM System" provides you with practical guidance and insights into scenarios that other organizations have faced. By learning from their experiences, you can make better choices for your own company, avoid common pitfalls, and ensure a successful CRM implementation that drives meaningful business outcomes.

In summary, this book serves as a mentor, offering practical advice and wisdom garnered from extensive hands-on experience. It highlights the importance of focusing on user satisfaction, dispelling myths, adapting behavior, setting realistic goals, and leveraging real-world case studies to guide you through the challenges of implementing a CRM system.

Michael M. Hudlow

Welcome to my bio page! I'm Michael M. Hudlow, a seasoned professional with a passion for combining business acumen with cutting-edge technology. With over 14 years of experience running complex operations and spearheading the development and implementation of innovative solutions, I've had the privilege of contributing significantly to the growth journey of various organizations. My expertise lies in leveraging artificial intelligence and CRM systems to optimize operational processes and drive exceptional business outcomes.

A Diverse Career Journey

Throughout my career, I have held key leadership roles that have allowed me to make a lasting impact on the organizations I've been a part of. As a leader at PwC, Arthur Andersen, One Call Title, Bitxia CRM and as a Managing Director at Alvarez & Marsal, I played a pivotal role in transforming business activities by leveraging more modern systems and innovative thinking. I successfully developed, deployed, and operated global teams, strategies, and paths to achieve digital transformation. By advising, operating, and overseeing the creation of firm-wide global programs, I helped drive business growth while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.

The Power of Writing

Beyond my professional achievements, I'm also a passionate writer. I have authored several business books that delve into technical topics, but with a unique twist. I aim to explain complex concepts and strategies in a non-technical way, making them accessible and understandable to a wide range of readers. These books serve as valuable resources for both my consulting clients and individuals seeking to enhance their knowledge in the realm of AI-driven CRM solutions. By bridging the gap between technical complexities and practical implementation, I enable my readers and clients to make informed decisions and achieve tangible results.

Consulting Expertise

In addition to my writing endeavors, I offer consultancy services at Bitxia CRM, LLC. My focus is on identifying issues between expectations, development efforts, and service delivery, in order to drive transformative change and close the gaps that hinder success. By providing practical examples and case studies, I assist organizations in building new strategies, improving underperforming teams, and aligning their goals with actual results. With expertise in transformation, CRM, customer experience, and contract assessment, I bring a holistic perspective to every consulting engagement.

Sharing Knowledge and Inspiring Success

My passion for innovation and success goes beyond the confines of my work. I actively engage with industry peers through speaking engagements, webinars, and conferences, sharing real-world examples and insights to foster a sense of camaraderie within our professional community. I believe in the power of collaboration and knowledge sharing to drive the next wave of innovation in AI-driven CRM solutions.
