Hi All,

I need some serious advice from all you senior BAs.

I started as a s/w programmer and moved to sales & marketing function primarily in the IT services industry. Later on in my current organization, I was offered the job of a BA to work with our customer who is a leader in outsource contact center management provide inbound and outbound sales and marketing services to its customers across industry verticals. I've worked on couple of projects (not core CRM implementation) with this client and have gained sound exposure in the sales and marketing processes including some process redesign work. Have demonstrated quantifiable results. Now I want to move on for better opportunities and better money. My concern is that though I've am quite strong on the process side of CRM I don't have any functional consulting experience on CRM packages (i.e Oracle, Siebel, MS Dynamics etc.). Do you guys think, this could become a major roadblock in my hope to chart a career in the CRM space? Please advise....

The BA in the CRM domain is crucial for businesses looking to streamline their customer relationship management processes. It helps in identifying and analyzing the most effective strategies for implementation, ensuring a higher return on investment. If you're considering integrating CRM into your business, it’s important to understand the potential crm implementation costs (https://www.cleveroad.com/blog/crm-implementation-cost/), as these can vary greatly depending on your needs and the complexity of the system.
